Deskripsi
Polycomb Repressive Complexes PRC1 and PRC2 catalyse distinct chromatin modifications to promote gene silencing. Here the authors use reversible tethering of Polycomb proteins to ectopic sites in mouse ESCs and find that canonical but not variant PRC1 can trigger sequence-independent propagation of Polycomb-mediated transcriptional repression.
