The Combined Action of Esrrb and Nr5a2 Is Essential for Murine Naïve Pluripotency

Researchers reported that the conjunct activity of two orphan nuclear receptors, Esrrb and Nr5a2, paralleled the importance of that of Oct4 and Sox2 in naïve mouse ESCs. By occupying a large common set of regulatory elements, these two factors controlled the binding of Oct4, Sox2 and Nanog to DNA.
