The core pluripotency factors (Oct4, Sox2, and Nanog), the Myc network, and the chromatin-modifying complexes such as PRC2 ensure the pluripotency and self-renewal of ES cells (ESC). How these factors coordinate with one another remains poorly understood. We report that Utf1, a target of Oct4 and Sox2, is a new bivalent chromatin component that buffers poised states of bivalent genes. By limiting PRC2 loading and Histone 3 lysine-27 trimethylation, Utf1 sets proper activation thresholds for bivalent genes. It also promotes nuclear tagging of mRNAs transcribed from insufficiently silenced bivalent genes for cytoplasmic degradation through mRNA de-capping. Whereas these opposing functions of Utf1 allow proper execution of ESC pluripotency, the mRNA pruning function also ensures rapid cell proliferation by blocking the Myc-Arf feedback regulation. Thus, Utf1 is an important regulator that couples the core pluripotency factors with Myc and PRC2 networks to promote proliferation and pluripotency execution of ESCs.
