== Disease ==

[[http://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/SOX2_HUMAN SOX2_HUMAN]] Defects in SOX2 are the cause of microphthalmia syndromic type 3 (MCOPS3) [MIM:[http://omim.org/entry/206900 206900]]. Microphthalmia is a clinically heterogeneous disorder of eye formation, ranging from small size of a single eye to complete bilateral absence of ocular tissues (anophthalmia). In many cases, microphthalmia/anophthalmia occurs in association with syndromes that include non-ocular abnormalities. MCOPS3 is characterized by the rare association of malformations including uni- or bilateral anophthalmia or microphthalmia, and esophageal atresia with trachoesophageal fistula.<ref>PMID:12612584</ref>

== Function ==

[[http://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/SOX2_HUMAN SOX2_HUMAN]] Transcription factor that forms a trimeric complex with OCT4 on DNA and controls the expression of a number of genes involved in embryonic development such as YES1, FGF4, UTF1 and ZFP206 (By similarity). Critical for early embryogenesis and for embryonic stem cell pluripotency. May function as a switch in neuronal development. Downstream SRRT target that mediates the promotion of neural stem cell self-renewal (By similarity). Keeps neural cells undifferentiated by counteracting the activity of proneural proteins and suppresses neuronal differentiation (By similarity).<ref>PMID:18035408</ref> [[http://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/GFP_AEQVI GFP_AEQVI]] Energy-transfer acceptor. Its role is to transduce the blue chemiluminescence of the protein aequorin into green fluorescent light by energy transfer. Fluoresces in vivo upon receiving energy from the Ca(2+)-activated photoprotein aequorin. [[http://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/H2B1J_HUMAN H2B1J_HUMAN]] Core component of nucleosome. Nucleosomes wrap and compact DNA into chromatin, limiting DNA accessibility to the cellular machineries which require DNA as a template. Histones thereby play a central role in transcription regulation, DNA repair, DNA replication and chromosomal stability. DNA accessibility is regulated via a complex set of post-translational modifications of histones, also called histone code, and nucleosome remodeling.<ref>PMID:11859126</ref> <ref>PMID:12860195</ref> <ref>PMID:15019208</ref> Has broad antibacterial activity. May contribute to the formation of the functional antimicrobial barrier of the colonic epithelium, and to the bactericidal activity of amniotic fluid.<ref>PMID:11859126</ref> <ref>PMID:12860195</ref> <ref>PMID:15019208</ref>

== Publication Abstract from PubMed ==

Transcription factors (TFs) regulate gene expression through chromatin where nucleosomes restrict DNA access. To study how TFs bind nucleosome-occupied motifs we focused on the reprogramming factors OCT4 and SOX2. We determined TF engagement throughout a nucleosome at base-pair resolution in vitro, enabling cryo-EM structure determination at two preferred positions. Depending on motif location, OCT4-SOX2 differentially distort nucleosomal DNA. At one position, OCT4-SOX2 removes DNA from Histone H2A/Histone H3 (H2A/H3); however, at an inverted motif, the TFs only induce local DNA distortions. OCT4 uses one of its two DNA binding domains to engage DNA in both structures, reading-out a partial motif. These findings explain site specific nucleosome engagement by the pluripotency factors OCT4-SOX2 and reveal how TFs distort nucleosomes to access chromatinized motifs.
