Mechanisms of Polycomb group protein function in cancer

Victoria Parreno et al.

Summary: Misregulated Polycomb proteins play a pleiotropic role in cancer, altering various biological processes crucial for tumor progression by modulating the expression of key genes in cellular decisions. Interfering with PcG functions can be a powerful strategy to counter tumor progression.

GAGA factor: a multifunctional pioneering chromatin protein

Darya Chetverina et al.

Summary: The Drosophila GAGA factor (GAF) is a multifunctional protein involved in nucleosome organization, gene expression regulation, enhancer-promoter communication, chromosome structure, and mitosis. It is believed to act as a pioneer factor in creating nucleosome-free regions for regulatory elements, allowing other factors to bind and carry out specialized functions. GAF interacts with chromatin remodelers and proteins involved in various regulatory functions.

The roles of Polycomb repressive complexes in mammalian development and cancer

Andrea Piunti et al.

Summary: Polycomb repressive complex 1 (PRC1) and PRC2, histone modifiers, play important roles in development and disease, especially cancer. Recent studies have revealed the existence of various mutually exclusive PRC1 and PRC2 variants, providing new insights into their molecular functions and physiological importance.

Boundaries potentiate polycomb response element-mediated silencing

Maksim Erokhin et al.

Summary: This study demonstrates that the repressing activity of PREs can be induced or enhanced by nearby boundary elements in Drosophila, suggesting a potential mechanism for altering chromatin structure to enable access to critical factors for PcG silencing.

Clinical Correlations of Polycomb Repressive Complex 2 in Different Tumor Types

Maksim Erokhin et al.

Summary: PRC2 is a complex involved in transcriptional repression through histone methylation, with dysregulation linked to tumor development. This study analyzed clinical correlations of PRC2 subunit genes in tumor samples, identifying cancer types responsive to PRC2 inhibition and potential sensitivity markers for PRC2-targeting drugs.
