      • The Polycomb repressive system plays a fundamental role in controlling gene expression during mammalian development. To achieve this, Polycomb repressive complexes 1 and 2 (PRC1 and PRC2) bind target genes and use histone modification-dependent feedback mechanisms to form Polycomb chromatin domains and repress transcription.

  2. Dec 1, 2021 · Polycomb repressive complexes represent a paradigm of chromatin-based gene regulation in animals. The Polycomb repressive system comprises two central protein complexes, Polycomb repressive complex 1 (PRC1) and PRC2, which are essential for normal gene regulation and development.

  4. May 26, 2022 · Reddington et al. review the role of the Polycomb Repressive-Deubiquinase (PR-DUB) complex, which antagonizes PRC1 action. H2AK119ub is central to Polycomb-mediated gene silencing and while PRC1 attaches this histone modification, PR-DUB removes it.

  5. Sep 7, 2018 · Polycomb repressive complex 2 (PRC2) methylates lysine 27 in histone H3, a modification associated with epigenetic gene silencing. This complex plays a fundamental role in regulating cellular differentiation and development, and PRC2 overexpression and mutations have been implicated in numerous cancers.

  6. PcG proteins function on chromatin and can form two distinct complexes with different enzymatic activities: Polycomb repressive complex 1 (PRC1) is a histone ubiquitin ligase and PRC2 is a histone methyltransferase.

  7. The evolutionary conserved Polycomb Group (PcG) repressive system comprises two central protein complexes, PcG repressive complex 1 (PRC1) and PRC2. These complexes, through the incorporation of histone modifications on chromatin, have an essential role in the normal development of eukaryotes.

  8. Apr 29, 2023 · Polycomb repressive complexes (PRCs) play a pivotal role in the growth and development of eukaryotes. The components of PRCs are well conserved among most eukaryotes, including humans and plants.
