ERK1 phosphorylates Nanog to regulate protein stability and stem cell self-renewal
چکیده انگلیسی


• ERK1 phosphorylates Nanog and inhibits Nanog transactivation.
• Phosphorylation of Nanog by ERK1 induces ES cell differentiation.
• Phosphorylation of Nanog by ERK1 decreases Nanog stability.
• Phosphorylation induces binding of FBXW8 with Nanog reducing Nanog protein stability.

Nanog regulates human and mouse embryonic stem (ES) cell self-renewal activity. Activation of ERKs signaling negatively regulates ES cell self-renewal and induces differentiation, but the mechanisms are not understood. We found that ERK1 binds and phosphorylates Nanog. Activation of MEK/ERKs signaling and phosphorylation of Nanog inhibit Nanog transactivation, inducing ES cell differentiation. Conversely, suppression of MEK/ERKs signaling enhances Nanog transactivation to inhibit ES cell differentiation. We observed that phosphorylation of Nanog by ERK1 decreases Nanog stability through ubiquitination-mediated protein degradation. Further, we found that this phosphorylation induces binding of FBXW8 with Nanog to reduce Nanog protein stability. Overall, our results demonstrated that ERKs-mediated Nanog phosphorylation plays an important role in self-renewal of ES cells through FBXW8-mediated Nanog protein stability.
