BAP1 complex promotes transcription by opposing PRC1-mediated H2A ubiquitylation

In Drosophila, the Calypso–ASX complex catalyzes H2A deubiquitination and aids Polycomb in transcriptional silencing. Here the authors show that the orthologous complex, BAP1.com, promotes gene activation by counteracting PRC1-mediated gene silencing.
