Involvement of short RNAs in polycomb-mediated gene repression

Polycomb group proteins maintain cell identity by repressing developmental regulator genes specific for other cell types. There are two main complexes: Polycomb repressive complex 1 (PRC1) and 2 (PRC2). PRC2 methylates histone H3 lysine 27 (H3K27me3), creating a binding site for PRC1 that ubiquitina...
