The Polycomb protein and E3 ubiquitin ligase Ring1B harbors an IRES in its highly conserved 5' UTR.

Ring1B is an essential member of the highly conserved Polycomb group proteins, which orchestrate developmental processes, cell growth and stem cell fate by modifying local chromatin structure. Ring1B was found to be the E3 ligase that monoubiquitinates histone H2A, which adds a new level of chromati...
