Polycomb Repressive Complex 2 methylates Elongin A to regulate transcripiton [RNA-seq]


ABSTRACT: Polycomb repressive complex 2 (PRC2-EZH2) methylates histone H3 at lysine 27 (H3K27) and is required to maintain gene repression during development. Misregulation of PRC2 is linked to a range of neoplastic malignancies, which is believed to involve methylation of H3K27. However, the full spectrum of non-histone substrates of PRC2 that might also contribute to PRC2 function is not known. We characterized the target recognition specificity of PRC2 and used the resultant data to screen for novel potential targets. The RNA polymerase II (Pol II) transcription factor, Elongin A (EloA), is methylated by PRC2 in vivo. Mutation of the methylated EloA residue decreased repression of many, but not all, PRC2 target genes as measured by both steady state and nascent RNA levels. We propose that PRC2 regulates transcription of a subset of target genes in part via methylation of EloA.
