KAP1(TRIM28/TIF1beta) represses differentiation-inducible genes in embryonic stem cells through cooperative binding with PRC1(Ring1b/Rnf2) and derepresses pluripotency-associated genes (expression)

ABSTRACT: Embryonic stem (ES) cells express pluripotency-associated genes and repress differentiation-inducible genes. The activities of these genes are coordinately reversed during differentiation. The changes in the transcriptome upon conditional KAP1 knockout in ES cells overlapped with the changes during embryoid body formation. KAP1 repressed differentiation-inducible genes and derepressed pluripotency-associated genes in ES cells. KAP1 formed complexes with polycomb repressive complexes 1 (PRC1) through an interaction that was mediated by the KAP1 coiled-coil region. KAP1 and PRC1 bound cooperatively at the promoters of differentiation-inducible genes and repressed their transcription. In contrast, KAP1 bound the transcribed and flanking sequences of pluripotency-associated genes, did no
