Abstract  

Embryonic stem cells (ES cells) undergo selfrenewal to maintain their pluripotency. The selfrenewal and pluripotency of ES cells are under tight control of many transcription factors. Nanog is one of these transcription factors. However, the molecular mechanisms under which Nanog regulates ES cell pluripotency are not very clear. P300 is a general coactivator in eukaryotes which usually helps transcription factors to regulate downstream genes. Nanog (or Nanog mutants) and its reporter gene were cotransfeted with p300 in cells in order to see if p300 could affect Nanog transcriptional activity. The results showed that p300 enhances Nanog transcriptional activity through the homeobox domain.
