This domain can be found in the Polycomb repressive complex 2 (PRC2) present in Homo sapiens. Polycomb complexes maintain repressive chromatin states by silencing gene expression. PRC2 does this by methylating lysine 27 of histone H3. This domain makes up part of the N-lobe which is involved in regulation [1].
This entry represents the MCSS domain found in the middle region of the Histone-lysine N-methyltransferase EZH2 [1-5]. It makes contacts with the adjacent SANT domain and the Vefs domain from EED. Additionally, this domain contains a zinc-binding mot ...
This entry represents the MCSS domain found in the middle region of the Histone-lysine N-methyltransferase EZH2 [1-5]. It makes contacts with the adjacent SANT domain and the Vefs domain from EED. Additionally, this domain contains a zinc-binding motif and contributes two cysteine residues for a second one, formed with two cysteines from the SANT domain [2].
