Biological function summary
K27 methylation is involved in transcriptional regulation and chromatin dynamics. It is an important component of the polycomb repressive complex 2 (PRC2) which provides transcriptional repression of genes through methylation of histone H3 at lysine 27 (H3K27me3). This form of regulation is essential in maintaining the repressed state of developmentally regulated genes and in stem cell pluripotency. The dynamic balance between methylation and demethylation allows cells to respond to developmental cues and environmental changes.
Pathways
K27 methylation is essential in the polycomb pathway involved in regulating gene expression patterns during development. This pathway provides histone modifications that result in epigenetic memory. The K27 residue interacts with proteins like Suz12 and EED within the PRC2 complex facilitating this gene repression. Additionally the K27 methylation interplays with the Trithorax pathway which has opposing functions and promotes gene activation showing the duality of gene regulation.
