NCBI Summary for Ezh1
This gene encodes a member of the Polycomb-group (PcG) family. The encoded protein is interchangeable with the related Enhancer of zeste 2 (Ezh2) protein as a core component of the polycomb repressive complex 2 (PRC2), which methylates histone H3 at lysine 27 and results in the transcriptional repression of affected target genes. This complex is involved in carrying out cell-fate decisions during embryonic stem cell differentiation. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 2014]
UniProt Comments for Ezh1
EZH1: Polycomb group (PcG) protein. Catalytic subunit of the PRC2/EED-EZH1 complex, which methylates 'Lys-27' of histone H3, leading to transcriptional repression of the affected target gene. Able to mono-, di- and trimethylate 'Lys-27' of histone H3 to form H3K27me1, H3K27me2 and H3K27me3, respectively. Required for embryonic stem cell derivation and self-renewal, suggesting that it is involved in safeguarding embryonic stem cell identity. Compared to EZH1-containing complexes, it is less abundant in embryonic stem cells, has weak methyltransferase activity and plays a less critical role in forming H3K27me3, which is required for embryonic stem cell identity and proper differentiation. Belongs to the histone-lysine methyltransferase family. EZ subfamily. 5 isoforms of the human protein are produced by alternative splicing.
