Supplementary information

The EED protein also known as embryonic ectoderm development plays an important mechanical role within the cell. It is a component of the polycomb repressive complex 2 (PRC2) that mediates transcriptional silencing of target genes. The molecular weight of EED protein is approximately 50 kDa. EED is expressed in various tissues and is a critical mediator in maintaining transcriptional repression necessary for embryonic stem cell identity and differentiation.
Biological function summary

EED functions as a repressor of gene transcription through the polycomb group complex. It interacts with other components of PRC2 such as EZH2 SUZ12 to establish and maintain chromatin modifications. EED acts as a scaffold allowing communication between other proteins essential in the assembly and function of PRC2. These interactions regulate histone methylation contributing to gene silencing.

Pathways

EED plays a central role in the regulation of the Wnt and Hedgehog pathways. These pathways are critical for controlling cell fate decisions and developmental processes. In the Wnt pathway EED in conjunction with other PRC2 members modulates β-catenin-mediated transcription. In the Hedgehog pathway EED impacts the Gli family of transcription factors underlining its importance in development and cellular proliferation regulation.

EED has been linked to various cancers and developmental disorders. Aberrant EED function and localization relate to overactivation of the Wnt pathway an aspect seen in colorectal cancer. EED also interacts with EHZ2 contributing to tumorigenesis through unchecked cell division and proliferation. In the context of Weaver syndrome mutations within EED are involved consolidating its important association with developmental anomalies.

General info

Function

Polycomb group (PcG) protein. Component of the PRC2/EED-EZH2 complex, which methylates 'Lys-9' and 'Lys-27' of histone H3, leading to transcriptional repression of the affected target gene. Also recognizes 'Lys-26' trimethylated histone H1 with the effect of inhibiting PRC2 complex methyltransferase activity on nucleosomal histone H3 'Lys-27', whereas H3 'Lys-27' recognition has the opposite effect, enabling the propagation of this repressive mark. The PRC2/EED-EZH2 complex may also serve as a recruiting platform for DNA methyltransferases, thereby linking two epigenetic repression systems. Genes repressed by the PRC2/EED-EZH2 complex include HOXC8, HOXA9, MYT1 and CDKN2A.

Sequence similarities

Belongs to the WD repeat ESC family.

Post-translational modifications

Methylated. Binding to histone H1 'Lys-26' promotes mono-, di-, and trimethylation of internal lysines.
