    Functional dissection of PRC1 subunits RYBP and YAF2 during neural differentiation of embryonic stem cells

    Polycomb repressive complex 1 (PRC1) comprises two different complexes: CBX-containing canonical PRC1 (cPRC1) and RYBP/YAF2-containing variant PRC1 (vPRC1). RYBP-vPRC1 or YAF2-vPRC1 catalyzes H2AK119ub through...

    PCGF5 is required for neural differentiation of embryonic stem cells

    Polycomb repressive complex 1 (PRC1) is an important regulator of gene expression and development. PRC1 contains the E3 ligases RING1A/B, which monoubiquitinate lysine 119 at histone H2A (H2AK119ub1), and has ...

    Dynamically reorganized chromatin is the key for the reprogramming of somatic cells to pluripotent cells

    Nucleosome positioning and histone modification play a critical role in gene regulation, but their role during reprogramming has not been fully elucidated. Here, we determined the genome-wide nucleosome covera...
