Antagonist of chromodomains CBX4/7 of Polycomb repressive complex 1
UNC3866 inhibits the CBX chromodomains of the Polycomb repressive complex 1 (PRC1), which is involved in transcriptional repression. UNC3866 selectively targets CBX4 and CBX7 most potently, with Kd values of ∼100 nM. The PRC1 chromodomains facilitate PRC1-mediated transcriptional repression by targeting the complex to Trimethyllysine 27 on histone 3 (H3K27me3). UNC3866 antagonizes the methyllysine (Kme) reading function, and has been shown to inhibit the PC3 prostate cancer cell proliferation associated with CBX7 overexpression.

We report the design and characterization of UNC3866, a potent antagonist of the methyllysine (Kme) reading function of the Polycomb CBX and CDY families of chromodomains. Polycomb CBX proteins regulate gene expression by targeting Polycomb repressive complex 1 (PRC1) to
