Abstract excerpt
The Polycomb group (PcG) of genes was first identified in Drosophila as maintenance factors for long-term transcriptional repression of homeotic genes. In mice, the PcG protein Eed (Embryonic ectoderm development) is present in a distinct complex that interacts with histone deacetylase (HDAC) and the PcG member Ezh2 (Enhancer of zeste homolog 2), but not in the larger Polycomb repressive complex 1 (PRC1) formed...
