Polycomb Group (PcG) proteins regulate gene expression by modifying chromatin. A key PcG complex, PRC1, has two activities: a ubiquitin ligase activity for histone H2A, and a chromatin compacting/nucleosome bridging activity that can inhibit transcription and chromatin remodeling. In Drosophila, the...
