Embryonic stem cell self-renewal properties are attributed to critical amounts of OCT4A, but little is known about its post-translational regulation. Sequence analysis revealed that OCT4A contains five putative ERK1/2 phosphorylation sites. Consistent with the hypothesis that OCT4A is a putative ERK1/2 substrate, we demonstrate that OCT4A interacts with ERK1/2 by using both in vitro GST pulldown and in vivo co-immunoprecipitation assays. MS analysis identified phosphorylation of OCT4A at Ser-111 ...[more]
