Transposons are parasitic genetic elements that frequently hijack vital cellular processes of their host. HMGXB4 is a known Wnt signaling-regulating HMG-box protein, previously identified as host-encoded factor Sleeping Beauty (SB) transposition. Here, we show predominantly maternally expressed, and marks both germinal progenitor somatic stem cells. SB piggybacks to activate transposase expression target transposition cells, thereby potentiating heritable transposon insertions. The promoter...
Abstract Transposons are parasitic genetic elements that frequently hijack key cellular processes of the host. HMGXB4 is a Wnt signalling-associated HMG-box protein, previously identified as transcriptional regulating host factor Sleeping Beauty (SB) transposition. Here, we establish highly expressed from zygote stage, and declines after genome activation. Nevertheless, activated by its own promoter at 4-cell responding to parental-to-zygotic transition, marks stemness, maintains expression...
