Function

Transcription regulator involved in inner cell mass and embryonic stem (ES) cells proliferation and self-renewal. Imposes pluripotency on ES cells and prevents their differentiation towards extraembryonic endoderm and trophectoderm lineages. Blocks bone morphogenetic protein-induced mesoderm differentiation of ES cells by physically interacting with SMAD1 and interfering with the recruitment of coactivators to the active SMAD transcriptional complexes. Acts as a transcriptional activator or repressor. Binds optimally to the DNA consensus sequence 5'-TAAT[GT][GT]-3' or 5'-[CG][GA][CG]C[GC]ATTAN[GC]-3'. Binds to the POU5F1/OCT4 promoter (PubMed:25825768). Able to autorepress its expression in differentiating (ES) cells: binds to its own promoter following interaction with ZNF281/ZFP281, leading to recruitment of the NuRD complex and subsequent repression of expression. When overexpressed, promotes cells to enter into S phase and proliferation.

Supplementary info

Activity summary

Nanog also known as Nanog homeobox is a transcription factor playing an important role in maintaining the pluripotency of embryonic stem cells. The molecular weight of Nanog is approximately 35 kDa. It is found mainly in the inner cell mass of the blastocyst but it also expresses in embryonic stem cells and some adult stem cell populations. Nanog acts by binding to DNA in a sequence-specific manner to regulate gene expression essential for stem cell self-renewal and pluripotency.

Biological function summary

Nanog plays a central role in stem cell biology operating as part of a complex regulatory network. Nanog interacts with other important transcription factors like Oct4 and Sox2 forming a core pluripotency network. This network suppresses the differentiation of stem cells by regulating the expression of genes involved in cell fate decisions. By modulating the expression of different pathways Nanog ensures the maintenance of an undifferentiated state in stem cells.

Pathways

Nanog is deeply embedded in the Wnt/β-Catenin and TGF-β signaling pathways important for stem cell maintenance and differentiation. In the Wnt/β-Catenin pathway Nanog works alongside proteins like β-catenin to drive the expression of genes that promote self-renewal. Meanwhile in the TGF-β pathway Nanog acts with proteins such as Smad2/3 to balance pluripotency and differentiation signals. These pathways critically support the complex network that sustains stem cell identity and function.

Associated diseases and disorders

Nanog's expression relates closely to its role in various cancers such as glioblastoma and colorectal cancer. Abnormally high levels of Nanog contribute to the tumorigenicity of cancer cells by maintaining their self-renewal and undifferentiated state similar to its role in stem cells. Nanog interacts with proteins like p53 known for its tumor suppressor functions often leading to challenges in cancer treatment. Understanding Nanog's influence in these pathways provides valuable insights into therapeutic targets for combating cancer stem cell resilience.
