PCGF3/5-PRC1 initiates Polycomb recruitment in X chromosome inactivation

Recruitment of the Polycomb repressive complexes PRC1 and PRC2 by Xist RNA is an important paradigm for chromatin regulation by long non-coding RNAs. Here we show that the non-canonical PCGF3/5-PRC1 complex initiates recruitment of both PRC1 and PRC2 in response to Xist RNA expression. PCGF3/5-PRC1...
