Biological function summary
The target of EZH2 + EED plays an essential role in chromatin remodeling and gene expression regulation. As part of the PRC2 complex they are pivotal in maintaining the repression of developmental genes necessary for organismal development and cellular differentiation. These proteins are key in forming a chromatin environment conducive to the silencing of genes by altering chromatin structure impacting processes like embryogenesis stem cell pluripotency and differentiation.
Pathways
The EZH2 + EED target integrates notably within the polycomb group (PcG) and Wnt signaling pathways. These pathways exist to maintain transcriptional repression and regulate gene expression necessary for development and cellular identity. EZH2 is commonly associated with the interaction with other PRC2 components like SUZ12 which works alongside EED to achieve gene repression. Their activity in the Wnt signaling pathway further connects them to stem cell maintenance and self-renewal processes.

General info
Function
Polycomb group (PcG) protein. Catalytic subunit of the PRC2/EED-EZH2 complex, which methylates 'Lys-9' (H3K9me) and 'Lys-27' (H3K27me) of histone H3, leading to transcriptional repression of the affected target gene. Able to mono-, di- and trimethylate 'Lys-27' of histone H3 to form H3K27me1, H3K27me2 and H3K27me3, respectively. Displays a preference for substrates with less methylation, loses activity when progressively more methyl groups are incorporated into H3K27, H3K27me0 > H3K27me1 > H3K27me2 (PubMed : 22323599, PubMed : 30923826). Compared to EZH1-containing complexes, it is more abundant in embryonic stem cells and plays a major role in forming H3K27me3, which is required for embryonic stem cell identity and proper differentiation. 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, CDKN2A and retinoic acid target genes. EZH2 can also methylate non-histone proteins such as the transcription factor GATA4 and the nuclear receptor RORA. Regulates the circadian clock via histone methylation at the promoter of the circadian genes. Essential for the CRY1/2-mediated repression of the transcriptional activation of PER1/2 by the CLOCK-BMAL1 heterodimer; involved in the di and trimethylation of 'Lys-27' of histone H3 on PER1/2 promoters which is necessary for the CRY1/2 proteins to inhibit transcription.
Sequence similarities
Belongs to the class V-like SAM-binding methyltransferase superfamily. Histone-lysine methyltransferase family. EZ subfamily.
Post-translational modifications
Phosphorylated by AKT1. Phosphorylation by AKT1 reduces methyltransferase activity. Phosphorylation at Thr-345 by CDK1 and CDK2 promotes maintenance of H3K27me3 levels at EZH2-target loci, thus leading to epigenetic gene silencing.. Sumoylated.. Glycosylated: O-GlcNAcylation at Ser-75 by OGT increases stability of EZH2 and facilitates the formation of H3K27me3 by the PRC2/EED-EZH2 complex.
