ESC/E(Z) complex
Definition
Target type: cellularcomponent
A multimeric protein complex that can methylate lysine-27 and lysine-9 residues of histone H3. In Drosophila the core subunits of the complex include ESC, E(Z), CAF1 (NURF-55) and SU(Z)12. In mammals the core subunits of the complex include EED, EZH2, SUZ12 and RBBP4. [GOC:bf, GOC:sp, PMID:12408863, PMID:12408864, PMID:20064375]
The ESC/E(Z) complex is a large multi-protein complex that plays a crucial role in regulating gene expression in eukaryotes. This complex is known for its histone-modifying activity, primarily acting as a histone acetyltransferase (HAT). It is a highly conserved complex across different species, with subunits that show remarkable structural and functional similarities.
The core components of the ESC/E(Z) complex include:
* **E(Z)**: This is the catalytic subunit of the complex, responsible for its histone acetyltransferase activity. It belongs to the GNAT family of histone acetyltransferases. E(Z) specifically acetylates lysine 27 on histone H3 (H3K27), which is a key histone modification involved in gene repression.
* **ESC/Su(z)12**: This subunit is responsible for recognizing and binding to specific DNA sequences, often acting as a bridge between the complex and the target gene. It interacts with DNA through its chromodomain, a conserved protein domain involved in recognizing histone modifications.
* **NURF55/RbAp48**: This subunit is involved in stabilizing the complex and mediating interactions with other proteins. It is a structural component that contributes to the overall stability of the ESC/E(Z) complex.
* **RBBP4/7**: This subunit is also important for structural stability and plays a role in coordinating the interaction between different subunits. It helps to maintain the integrity of the complex and facilitates its recruitment to target genes.
* **E(Pc)**: This subunit is involved in regulating the activity of the complex and is known to interact with other chromatin-modifying proteins. It acts as a regulatory component that modulates the activity of the ESC/E(Z) complex.
The specific composition and function of the ESC/E(Z) complex can vary depending on the organism and the cellular context. However, the core subunits and their general functions remain relatively consistent.
In addition to the core subunits, the ESC/E(Z) complex can associate with other proteins that contribute to its specific functions. These accessory proteins can influence the targeting, activity, and regulation of the complex.
The ESC/E(Z) complex is crucial for proper development and cellular function. Its role in gene repression and its involvement in diverse cellular processes such as cell cycle control, differentiation, and development underscore its importance in maintaining cellular homeostasis.'
