Determination of the protein interactome of the transcription factor Sox2 in embryonic stem cells engineered for inducible expression of four reprogramming factors
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Coordinate expression of the somatic cell reprogramming factors Oct4, Sox2, Klf4 and c-Myc within embryonic stem cells preserves the self-renewal of these cells, while allowing for the expression epitope tagged Sox2. Taking advantage of this observation, we engineered embryonic stem cells (i-OSKM-ESC) to inducibly express Oct4, Klf4, c-Myc and an epitope tagged form of Sox2 from a polycistronic element, in the presence of doxycycline. We isolated Sox2 and its associated protein complexes by co-immunoprecipitation. Subsequently, we identified the Sox2-protein interactome in self-renewing embryonic stem cells using an unbiased proteomic screen (Multidimensional Protein Identification Technology [MudPIT]). Affymetrix microarrays were used to characterize the gene expression profile of i-OSKM-ESC in the absence and presence of doxycycline. Mouse embryonic stem cells (KH2) were engineered to express Oct4, epitope tagged Sox2, Klf4 and c-Myc in the presence of doxycyline, to produce i-OSKM-ESC. The i-OSKM-ESC were cultured in the absence or presence of doxycyline (4 µg/mL) for 24 hours. RNA was extracted from each condition, and used for microarray analysis.
