Here, we report that Tcf711, a key downstream transducer of the Wnt signaling pathway, could promote Klf4 transcription and stimulate Klf4 promoter activity in early Xenopus embryos. Furthermore, cycloheximide treatment showed a direct effect on Klf4 transcription facilitated by Tcf711. Moreover, the dominant negative form of Tcf711（dnTcf711）, which lacks N-terminus of the β-catenin binding motif, could still activate Klf4 transcription, suggesting that this regulation is Wnt/β-catenin independent.Taken together, our results demonstrate that Tcf711 lies upstream of Klf4 to maintain its expression level during Xenopus embryogenesis.展开更多
