General Information
Term ESC/E(Z) complex ID (Ontology) GO:0035098 (Gene Ontology)
Definition A multimeric protein complex that can methylate lysine-27 and lysine-9 residues of histone H3. In Drosophila the core subunits of the complex include ESC, E(Z), CAF1 (NURF-55) and SU(Z)12. In mammals the core subunits of the complex include EED, EZH2, SUZ12 and RBBP4.[ PubMed:12408863 PubMed:12408864 PubMed:17107999 PubMed:20064375 PubMed:31123059 PubMed:33232890 ]
Also Known As"Extra Sex Combs/Enhancer of Zeste complex" ; "polycomb repressive complex 2" ; "PRC2 complex"
