Function

Transcription factor that forms a trimeric complex with OCT4 on DNA and controls the expression of a number of genes involved in embryonic development such as YES1, FGF4, UTF1 and ZFP206. Binds to the proximal enhancer region of NANOG. Critical for early embryogenesis and for embryonic stem cell pluripotency.

Biological Context

Subcellular Location: Nucleus speckle; Cytoplasm; Nucleus
Disease Association: Microphthalmia, syndromic, 3 (MCOPS3) : A disease characterized by the rare association of malformations including uni- or bilateral anophthalmia or microphthalmia, and esophageal atresia with trachoesophageal fistula. Microphthalmia is a disorder of eye formation, ranging from small size of a single eye to complete bilateral absence of ocular tissues (anophthalmia). In many cases, microphthalmia/anophthalmia occurs in association with syndromes that include non-ocular abnormalities.

Function

Transcription factor that forms a trimeric complex with OCT4 on DNA and controls the expression of a number of genes involved in embryonic development such as YES1, FGF4, UTF1 and ZFP206 (By similarity). Binds to the proximal enhancer region of NANOG (By similarity). Critical for early embryogenesis and for embryonic stem cell pluripotency (PubMed:18035408). Downstream SRRT target that mediates the promotion of neural stem cell self-renewal (By similarity). Keeps neural cells undifferentiated by counteracting the activity of proneural proteins and suppresses neuronal differentiation (By similarity). May function as a switch in neuronal development (By similarity)

Subunit

Interacts with ZSCAN10 (By similarity). Interacts with SOX3 and FGFR1 (By similarity). Interacts with GLIS1 (PubMed:21654807). Interacts with POU5F1; binds synergistically with POU5F1 to DNA (By similarity). Interacts with DDX56 (By similarity). Interacts with L3MBTL3 and DCAF5; the interaction requires methylation at Lys-42 and is necessary to target SOX2 for ubiquitination by the CRL4-DCAF5 E3 ubiquitin ligase complex (PubMed:30442713). Interacts with RCOR1/CoREST (By similarity) (PubMed:30442713). Interacts with PHF20L1; the interaction requires methylation at Lys-42 and Lys-117 and protects SOX2 from degradation (PubMed:29358331). Interacts with TRIM26; this interaction prevents ubiquitination by WWP2 (PubMed:34732716)
