摘要: Signaling via the Akt serine/threonine protein kinase plays critical roles in self-renewal of embryonic stem cells and their malignant counterpart, embryonal carcinoma (ECCs). Here we show that ECCs, phosphorylated master pluripotency factor Oct4 at threonine 235, levels ECCs correlated with resistance to apoptosis tumorigenic potential. Phosphorylation increased its stability facilitated nuclear localization interaction Sox2, which promoted transcription core stemness genes POU5F1 NANOG. Furthermore, unphosphorylated bound AKT1 promoter repressed transcription. by resulted dissociation from promoter, activated cell survival. Therefore, a site-specific, posttranslational modification orchestrates regulation stability, subcellular localization, transcriptional activities, collectively promotes survival tumorigenicity ECCs.
