The Polycomb complex PRC2 and its mark in life
Open accessAbstract
Polycomb group proteins maintain the gene-expression pattern of different cells that is set during early development by regulating chromatin structure. In mammals, two main Polycomb group complexes exist - Polycomb repressive complex 1 (PRC1) and 2 (PRC2). PRC1 compacts chromatin and catalyses the monoubiquitylation of histone H2A. PRC2 also contributes to chromatin compaction, and catalyses the methylation of histone H3 at lysine 27. PRC2 is involved in various biological processes, including differentiation, maintaining cell identity and proliferation, and stem-cell plasticity. Recent studies of PRC2 have expanded our perspectives on its function and regulation, and uncovered a role for non-coding RNA in the recruitment of PRC2 to target genes.

DNA methylation is likely not the only epigenetic mark involved in this process; other transcription factors and epigenetic modifications such as PRC2 and H3K27me3 are likely involved.
“That said, we do not wish to imply that DNA methylation is the only epigenetic mark involved in this process. It likely involves other transcription factors and epigenetic modifications, such as the PRC2 complex and H3K27me3, both of which are involved in maintaining stem cell plasticity and are associated with DNAm clock sites4,49,50.”

The sections on genome-wide localization and PRC2 pluripotency and differentiation link PRC2 and H3K27me3 to stem-cell chromatin states and plasticity, though they qualify PRC2’s role in maintaining pluripotency. The paper discusses DNA methylation alongside these marks, but it does not address DNAm clock sites or establish their involvement in the citing paper’s specific process. (LLM, conf=0.82)

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
