“…A recent study in yeast reported the RPa complex composed of RPa1, -2, and -3, which we demonstrate associates with Sox2 (Fig. 6), plays an important role during transcriptional elongation (34). Additionally, another report demonstrated that the DNA repair XPC nucleotide excision repair complex, composed of Xpc, Rad23b, and Cetn2, is necessary for Sox2 and Oct4 to activate the expression of the Nanog promoter (35).…”
