Appropriate hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) self-renewal reflects the tight regulation of cell cycle entry and lineage commitment. Here, we show that Id1, a dominant-negative regulator of E protein transcription factors, maintains HSC self-renewal by preserving the undifferentiated state. Id1-deficient HSCs show increased cell cycling, by BrdU incorporation in vivo, but fail to efficiently self-renew, leading to low steady-state HSC numbers and premature exhaustion in serial bone marrow transplant ...[more]
