The Polycomb Repressive Complex 2 (PRC2) is a chromatin modifying complex that consists of three core components: EED, SUZ12 and one of the two histone H3K27 methyltransferases, EZH1 or EZH2 []. The PRC2 complex catalyses di- and trimethylation of histone H3 lysine 27 (H3K37me2/3), which has a repressive role. Even though EZH1 and EZH2 form similar PRC2 complexes, they exhibit contrasting repressive roles. In terms of their expression in mice, EZH1 is more abundant in nonproliferative adult organs, while EZH2 expression is tightly associated with proliferation [].This family consists of EZH1 [].

This domain can be found in the polycomb repressive complex 2 (PRC2) subunits EZH1 and EZH2. Three core subunits make up the catalytic core of PRC2: EZH1 or EZH2, the zinc-finger containing SUZ12 and EED. 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 consists of EED and the N-terminal region of EZH2, and is involved in regulation [].
