Abstract excerpt
Polycomb group (PcG) genes are required for the stable repression of the homeotic genes and other developmentally regulated genes. Yin Yang 1 (YY1), a vertebrate homolog of the Drosophila PcG pleiohomeotic (Pho), is a multifunctional protein that can act as a repressor or activator of transcription. Xenopus YY1 (XYY1) protein was localized in the central nervous system (CNS), particularly anterior neural tube of...
