hnRNPK Recruits PCGF3/5-PRC1 to the Xist RNA B-Repeat to establish polycomb-mediated chromosomal silencing

The Polycomb-repressive complexes PRC1 and PRC2 play a key role in chromosome silencing induced by the non-coding RNA Xist. Polycomb recruitment is initiated by the PCGF3/5-PRC1 complex, which catalyzes chromosome-wide H2A lysine 119 ubiquitylation, signaling recruitment of other PRC1 complexes, and...
