USP17L promotes the 2-cell-like program through deubiquitination of H2AK119ub1 and ZSCAN4

Abstract In mouse, minor zygotic genome activation (ZGA) precedes and is essential for major ZGA in two-cell (2C) embryos. A subset of ZGA genes (known as “2C” genes) are also activated in a rare population of embryonic stem cells (ESCs) (2C-like cells). However, the functions of the 2C genes are no...
