Structural heterogeneity of the mammalian polycomb repressor complex in immune regulation

Epigenetic regulation is mainly mediated by enzymes that can modify the structure of chromatin by altering the structure of DNA or histones. Proteins involved in epigenetic processes have been identified to study the detailed molecular mechanisms involved in the regulation of specific mRNA expression. Evolutionarily well-conserved polycomb group (PcG) proteins can function as transcriptional repressors by the trimethylation of histone H3 at the...
