Abstract

Although histone acetylation is critical for maintaining embryonic stem cell pluripotency, the molecular machinery involved remains poorly understood. Li etal. (2012) now show that Mof, a MYST family histone acetyltransferase, functions as a coactivator of Nanog-mediated transcription, maintains the expression of pluripotency-associated genes, and primes developmental genes for differentiation.
