The histone lysine demethylase protein, KDM2B, associates with the PCGF1/PRC1 complex and binds to non-methylated DNA through its ZF-CxxC domain, providing a possible molecular link between CpG island elements and polycomb nucleation (Farcas et al., 2012, Wu et al., 2013). Here, a novel genetic syst...

The chromatin modifying activities inherent to polycomb repressive complexes PRC1 and PRC2 play an essential role in gene regulation, cellular differentiation, and development. However, the mechanisms by which these complexes recognize their target sites and function together to form repressive chro...

CpG island elements are associated with most mammalian gene promoters, yet how they contribute to gene regulation remains poorly understood. Recently it has become clear that a subset of CpG islands in embryonic stem cells can act as polycomb response elements and are recognized by the polycomb sile...

In order to study the effects of Kdm2b binding at CpG islands, Kdm2b was knocked down in mouse embryonic stem cells using shRNA and gene expression profiled using Affymetrix arrays Depletion of KDM2B affects the gene expression of a subset of polycomb targets RNA from 4 samples stably expressing shK...
