Function

Component of a Polycomb group (PcG) multiprotein PRC1-like complex, a complex class required to maintain the transcriptionally repressive state of many genes, including Hox genes, throughout development. PcG PRC1 complex acts via chromatin remodeling and modification of histones; it mediates monoubiquitination of histone H2A 'Lys-119', rendering chromatin heritably changed in its expressibility.

Activity summary

PHC2 also known as Polyhomeotic Homolog 2 is a protein with a molecular mass around 100 kDa. It localizes mainly in the nucleus and expresses widely across different tissue types. The protein is a part of the Polycomb group (PcG) proteins which play key roles in chromatin remodeling and gene silencing. PHC2 contributes to forming stable gene repression essential for regulating development and maintaining cellular identity.

Biological function summary

PHC2 functions as a part of the Polycomb repressive complex 1 (PRC1). This complex is involved in modifying the structure of chromatin which helps maintain the repression of gene transcription. Through interaction with other PRC1 components PHC2 helps establish a compact chromatin state promoting histone modifications that lead to transcriptional silencing. This activity is fundamental for cellular processes like embryonic development and stem cell maintenance.

Pathways

PHC2 plays a role in the regulation of the Wnt signaling and Notch signaling pathways. These pathways are integral to controlling cell proliferation differentiation and apoptosis. Within these pathways PHC2 interacts with other proteins like BMI1 and RING1B which are also part of the PRC1 complex. These interactions ensure the precise control over gene expression needed for cellular homeostasis and proper developmental progression.

Associated diseases and disorders

Aberrant PHC2 function is implicated in a range of conditions particularly cancer and neurodevelopmental disorders. Dysregulation of PHC2 can lead to misexpression of genes that regulate cell cycle and apoptosis contributing to oncogenesis. For instance PHC2 has connections with BMI1 in cancer pathways influencing tumor progression and resistance to apoptosis. Moreover mutations or irregular expression of PHC2 have been linked with neurodevelopmental disorders highlighting its importance in nervous system development and function.
