Phosphorylation of Threonine343 Is Crucial for OCT4 Interaction with SOX2 in the Maintenance of Mouse Embryonic Stem Cell Pluripotency

Summary: OCT4 is required to maintain the pluripotency of embryonic stem cells (ESCs); yet, overdose-expression of OCT4 induces ESC differentiation toward primitive endoderm. The molecular mechanism underlying this differentiation switch is not fully understood. Here, we found that substitution of t...
