Deskripsi

VRN2 is a Polycomb Repressive Complex 2 subunit, best known as a regulator of vernalization that accumulates during prolonged cold. Here Gibbs et al. show that VRN2 is degraded via the N-end rule pathway, which  prevents ectopic accumulation of VRN2 in the absence of appropriate environmental stimuli.
