Polycomb group proteins Ring1A/B are functionally linked to the core transcriptional regulatory circuitry to maintain ES cell identity
Abstract
The Polycomb group (PcG) proteins mediate heritable silencing of developmental regulators in metazoans, participating in one of two distinct multimeric protein complexes, the Polycomb repressive complexes 1 (PRC1) and 2(PRC2). Although PRC2 has been shown to share target genes with the core transcription network, including Oct3/4, to maintain embryonic stem (ES)cells, it is still unclear whether PcG proteins and the core transcription network are functionally linked. Here, we identify an essential role for the core PRC1 components Ring1A/B in repressing developmental regulators in mouse ES cells and, thereby, in maintaining ES cell identity. A significant proportion of the PRC1 target genes are also repressed by Oct3/4. We demonstrate that engagement of PRC1 at target genes is Oct3/4-dependent,whereas engagement of Oct3/4 is PRC1-independent. Moreover, upon differentiation induced by Gata6 expression, most of the Ring1A/B target genes are derepressed and the binding of Ring1A/B to their target loci is also decreased. Collectively, these results indicate that Ring1A/B-mediated Polycomb silencing functions downstream of the core transcriptional regulatory circuitry to maintain ES cell identity.

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.
