Abstract excerpt
Polycomb repressive complex 2 (PRC2) interacts with RNA in cells, but there is no consensus on how RNA regulates PRC2 canonical functions, including chromatin modification and the maintenance of transcription programs in lineage-committed cells. We assayed two separation-of-function mutants of the PRC2 catalytic subunit EZH2, defective in RNA binding but functional in methyltransferase activity. We find that part...
