Facts about Polycomb protein EED.
Additionally admits'Lys-26' trimethylated histone H1 with the consequence of inhibiting PRC2 complex methyltransferase activity on nucleosomal histone H3'Lys-27', whereas H3'Lys-27' recognition has the opposite effect, enabling the propagation of the repressive mark. The PRC2/EED-EZH2 complex may also serve as a recruiting platform for DNA methyltransferases, thereby linking two epigenetic repression systems.
