Abstract excerpt
Polycomb repressive complex 2 (PRC2) suppresses gene transcription by methylating lysine 27 of histone H3 (H3K27) and plays critical roles in embryonic development. Among the core PRC2 subunits, EZH2 is the catalytic subunit and EED allosterically activates EZH2 upon binding trimethylated H3K27 (H3K27me3). Activating mutations on Y641, A677, and A687 within the enzymatic SET (Su(Var)3 to 9, Enhancer-of-zeste, and...
