PCGF3/5-PRC1 initiates Polycomb recruitment in X chromosome inactivation

Abstract:

Recruitment of the Polycomb repressive complexes PRC1 and PRC2 by Xist RNA is an important paradigm for chromatin regulation by long non-coding RNAs. Here we show that the non-canonical PCGF3/5-PRC1 complex initiates recruitment of both PRC1 and PRC2 in response to Xist RNA expression. PCGF3/5-PRC1 mediated ubiquitylation of histone H2A signals recruitment of other non-canonical PRC1 complexes, and of PRC2, leading to deposition of histone H3 lysine 27 methylation chromosome wide. Pcgf3/5 gen...
