Abstract excerpt
Chromatin attains its three-dimensional (3D) conformation by establishing contacts between different noncontiguous regions. Sterile Alpha Motif (SAM)-mediated polymerization of the polyhomeotic (PH) protein regulates subnuclear clustering of Polycomb Repressive Complex 1 (PRC1) and chromatin topology. The mutations that perturb the ability of the PH to polymerize, disrupt long-range chromatin contacts, alter Hox...
