Read the summary and the most important questions on Genome Regulation by polycomb and trithorax: 70 years and counting

  • 34 Introduction

  • Give two examples of evolutionary conserved chromatin modifying proteins

    Polycomb (PcG) and Trithorax (TrxG)
  • What were the polycomb and trithorax proteins are originally known for

    As part of an epigenetic cellular memory system that maintains repressed or active gene expression states
  • How do the polycomb group and trithorax group interact in gene cell differentiation and developmental processes?

    Act antagonistically
  • How did the definition of the Polycomb group proteins arise?

    Mutations in polycomb proteins transformed anterior segments into more posterior ones due to abnormal /ectopic expression of Hox genes
  • Mutations in the Trithorax gene (a regulator of Hox gene expression) lead to

    Embryonic segments were transformed from posterior into anterior by antagonizing the PcG proteins
  • PcG and TrxG members are linked to

    Proliferation, senescence, cancer,  X chromosome, inactivation, imprinting, cell cycle control, stem cell biology
  • Since PcG and TrxG members is linked to cancer, cell cycle, imprinting, stem cell biology, then how?

    There are a variety of PcG and Trx complexes that are assembled in a developmental stage and cell-specific manner to modify chromatin at their target genes via histone / chromatin ...
  • Research has shown TrxG and PcG complexes can regulate at multiple levels...

    From changing local chromatin structure, higher older chromatin organisation, global genome structure
  • 35 PcG 1

  • PcG machinery has been subdivided into two main complexes 

    Polycomb repressive complex 1 
    Polycomb repressive complex 2 
  • The Polycomb repressive complex 1 is much more diverse in mammals > Drosophila and this complex is subdivided into

    Canonical cPCR1 and non canonical ncPRC1
