Architecture of PRC2 Holo Complexes

Trends Biochem Sci. 2018 Jul;43(7):487-489. doi: 10.1016/j.tibs.2018.04.009. Epub 2018 May 3.

Abstract

Polycomb repressive complex 2 (PRC2) is a chief epigenetic regulator. In a new article, Chen et al. describe the crystal structure of the heterotetrameric PRC2 holo complex, which provides important mechanistic insights into the organization of its subunits and the association of PRC2 with chromatin.
