ABSTRACT: To address the functional role of MOF in mammalian X upregulation, male and female mouse ES cells were transfected with a mixture of three small interfering RNA duplexes, each of which targets a different region of Mof mRNA. We found that MOF knockdown in mouse ES cells caused a greater drop in expression of X-linked genes compared to autosomal genes, as measured by expression array analyses. The strongest effect was observed on medium-expressed X-linked genes. We next examined components of the two known MOF protein complexes, MSL1 (male-specific lethal1) and NSL1 (nonspecific lethal1). Knockdown of MSL1 but not NSL1 in undifferentiated female ES cells PGK12.1 specifically caused a decrease in expression levels of X-linked genes. Cells co-transfected with both MOF and MSL1 siRNAs had similar expression changes to MSL1 knockdown alone, indicating that these components probably operate within the same complex but are not additive. Our findings that key components of the MSL but not NSL complex play a role in upregulation of mammalian X-linked genes in ES cells.
