Polycomb repressive complex 2 silences human cytomegalovirus transcription in quiescent infection models.
Chromatin-based regulation of herpesviral transcriptional programs is increasingly appreciated as a mechanism for modulating infection outcomes. Transcriptionally permissive euchromatin predominates during lytic infection, whereas heterochromatin domains refractory to transcription are enriched at lytic genes during latency. Reversibly silenced facultative heterochromatin domains are often enri...
متن کاملMolecular architecture of human polycomb repressive complex 2
Polycomb Repressive Complex 2 (PRC2) is essential for gene silencing, establishing transcriptional repression of specific genes by tri-methylating Lysine 27 of histone H3, a process mediated by cofactors such as AEBP2. In spite of its biological importance, little is known about PRC2 architecture and subunit organization. Here, we present the first three-dimensional electron microscopy structur...
متن کاملHuntingtin facilitates polycomb repressive complex 2
Huntington's disease (HD) is caused by expansion of the polymorphic polyglutamine segment in the huntingtin protein. Full-length huntingtin is thought to be a predominant HEAT repeat alpha-solenoid, implying a role as a facilitator of macromolecular complexes. Here we have investigated huntingtin's domain structure and potential intersection with epigenetic silencer polycomb repressive complex ...
متن کاملLATS2 Positively Regulates Polycomb Repressive Complex 2
LATS2, a pivotal Ser/Thr kinase of the Hippo pathway, plays important roles in many biological processes. LATS2 also function in Hippo-independent pathway, including mitosis, DNA damage response and epithelial to mesenchymal transition. However, the physiological relevance and molecular basis of these LATS2 functions remain obscure. To understand novel functions of LATS2, we constructed a LATS2...
متن کاملPolycomb repressive complex 1 modifies transcription of active genes
This study examines the role of Polycomb repressive complex 1 (PRC1) at active genes. The PRC1 and PRC2 complexes are crucial for epigenetic silencing during development of an organism. They are recruited to Polycomb response elements (PREs) and establish silenced domains over several kilobases. Recent studies show that PRC1 is also directly recruited to active genes by the cohesin complex. Coh...
