The polycomb group protein complex of Drosophila melanogaster has different compositions at different target genes.

Molecular and cellular biology - 1 Dec 1997

Strutt H, Paro R

Abstract excerpt

In Drosophila the Polycomb group genes are required for the long-term maintenance of the repressed state of many developmental regulatory genes. Their gene products are thought to function in a common multimeric complex that associates with Polycomb group response elements (PREs) in target genes and regulates higher-order chromatin structure. We show that the chromodomain of Polycomb is necessary for...
