OCT4 and SOX2 confer pluripotency by recruiting coactivators to activate stem cell-specific gene expression programs. However, the composition of coactivator complexes and their roles in maintaining stem cell fidelity remain unclear. Here we report the identification of ATP-binding cassette subfamily F member 1 (ABCF1) as a critical coactivator for OCT4/SOX2. ABCF1 is required for pluripotency gene expression and stem cell self-renewal. ABCF1 binds co-dependent coactivators XPC and DKC1 via its intrinsically disordered region and stimulates transcription by linking SOX2 to the transcription machinery. Furthermore, in response to pathogen infection and DNA damage, ABCF1 binds intracellular DNAs accumulated in cells, concomitant with loss of SOX2 interaction and pluripotency gene transcription. This results in spontaneous differentiation of compromised stem cells and elimination from the self-renewing population. Thus, ABCF1 directly couples pluripotency gene transcription with sensing aberrant DNAs and acts as a checkpoint for self-renewal to safeguard stem cell fidelity and genome integrity.
