Biochem/physiol Actions

The gene EED (embryonic ectoderm development) encodes a protein belonging to the Polycomb-group (PcG) family. These proteins are multimeric complexes that maintain the transcriptional repressive state of genes through successive cell generation. EED protein interacts with histone deacetylase (HDAC) proteins and mediates transcriptional repression. It forms a complex with the PRC2 histone methyltransferase complex along with EZH2 (enhancer of zeste 2) and SUZ12. This complex mediates the silencing of HOX gene expression during embryonic development. The complex plays a key role in regulating proliferation and embryogenesis. The PRC2/EED-EZH2 complex methylates ′Lys-9′ and ′Lys-27′ of histone H3 and mediates transcriptional silencing of the target genes. This complex serves as a recruiting platform for DNA methyltransferases.

In Drosophila melanogaster, the Polycomb-group (PcG) and trithorax-group (trxG) genes have been identified as repressors and activators, respectively, of gene expression. Both groups of genes are required for the stable transmission of gene expression patterns to progeny cells throughout development.

The polycomb repressive complex 2 (PRC2) is the major methyltransferase for H3K27 methylation, a modification critical for maintaining repressed gene expression programs throughout development. It has been previously shown that PRC2 maintains histone methylation patterns during DNA replication in part

The establishment and maintenance of epigenetic gene silencing is fundamental to cell determination and function. The essential epigenetic systems involved in heritable repression of gene activity are the Polycomb group (PcG) proteins and the DNA methylation systems. Here we show

Recent experiments have demonstrated that the Polycomb group (PcG) gene EZH2 is highly expressed in metastatic prostate cancer and in lymphomas. EZH2 is a component of the PRC2 histone methyltransferase complex, which also contains EED and SUZ12 and is required
