Facts about Chromodomain Y-like protein.
Required for chromatin targeting and maximal enzymatic activity of Polycomb repressive complex 2 (PRC2); acts as a positive regulator of PRC2 activity by bridging the preexisting histone H3K27me3 and newly recruited PRC2 on neighboring nucleosomes (PubMed:22009739). Acts as a corepressor for REST by facilitating histone-lysine N- methyltransferase EHMT2 recruiting and H3K9 dimethylation in REST target genes for repression (PubMed:19061646).

Ubiquitous (PubMed:19808672). Expressed at moderate levels in all tissues examined (PubMed:19808672). Isoform 2: Most abundantly expressed isoform (PubMed:19808672).
[Isoform 2]: Nucleus. Chromosome. Recognizes and binds histone H3 trimethylated at 'Lys-9', dimethylated at 'Lys-27' and trimethylated at 'Lys-27' (H3K9me3, H3K27me2 and H3K27me3, respectively) on chromatin (PubMed:19808672). Multimerization is required for chromatin-binding (PubMed:19808672). Recruited to sites of DNA double strand breaks in a PARP1-dependent fashion (PubMed:29177481).
