摘要
Sox2 is a key transfer factor for maintaining pluripotency and self-renewal in embryonic stem cells(ESCs),1 though the mechanism of its transcriptional regulation in ESCs has not been fully addressed.Distal enhancer-promoter interactions are vital for Sox2 transcription activity in mammals.However,how these diverse interactions individually influence Sox2 gene regulation in mouse ESCs remains unclear.Previous studies found that three distal enhancers(termed E1,E2,and E3)interact with Sox2 promoter?(Fig.1A;Fig.S1A,and Table S1).
