General annotation (Comments)
| Function | Transcription factor that binds to the octamer motif (5'-ATTTGCAT-3'). Forms a trimeric complex with SOX2 on DNA and controls the expression of a number of genes involved in embryonic development such as YES1, FGF4, UTF1 and ZFP206. Critical for early embryogenesis and for embryonic stem cell pluripotency. Ref.11 |
| Subunit structure | Interacts with UBE2I and ZSCAN10 By similarity. Interacts with PKM. Interacts with WWP2. Ref.12 Ref.13 |
| Subcellular location | Cytoplasm. Nucleus. Note: Expressed in a diffuse and slightly punctuate pattern. Ref.12 Ref.13 Ref.14 |
| Tissue specificity | Expressed in developing brain. Highest levels found in specific cell layers of the cortex, the olfactory bulb, the hippocampus and the cerebellum. Low levels of expression in adult tissues. Ref.1 Ref.8 |
| Developmental stage | Highly expressed in undifferentiated embryonic stem cells and expression decreases gradually after embryoid body (EB) formation. Ref.13 |
| Induction | Transcriptional activity is positively regulated by PKM. Ref.12 |
| Domain | The POU-specific domain mediates interaction with PKM. Ref.12 |
| Post-translational modification | Sumoylation enhances the protein stability, DNA binding and transactivation activity. Sumoylation is required for enhanced YES1 expression By similarity. Ubiquitinated; undergoes 'Lys-63'-linked polyubiquitination by WWP2 leading to proteasomal degradation By similarity. Ref.13 ERK1/2-mediated phosphorylation at Ser-111 promotes nuclear exclusion and proteasomal degradation. Phosphorylation at Thr-235 and Ser-236 decrease DNA-binding and alters ability to activate transcription. |
| Biotechnological use | POU5F1/OCT4, SOX2, MYC/c-Myc and KLF4 are the four Yamanaka factors. When combined, these factors are sufficient to reprogram differentiated cells to an embryonic-like state designated iPS (induced pluripotent stem) cells. iPS cells exhibit the morphology and growth properties of ES cells and express ES cell marker genes. Ref.11 |
| Miscellaneous | Several pseudogenes of POU5F1 have been described on chromosomes 1, 3, 8, 10 and 12. 2 of them, localized in chromosomes 8 and 10, are transcribed in cancer tissues but not in normal ones and may be involved in the regulation of POU5F1 gene activity in carcinogenesis. |
| Sequence similarities | Belongs to the POU transcription factor family. Class-5 subfamily. Contains 1 homeobox DNA-binding domain. Contains 1 POU-specific domain. |
