A Class of Protein-Coding RNAs Binds to Polycomb Repressive Complex 2 and Alters Histone Methylation

Polycomb repressive complex 2 (PRC2) is a multi-subunit protein complex mediating the methylation of lysine 27 on histone H3 and playing an important role in transcriptional repression during tumorigenesis and development. Previous studies revealed that both protein-coding and non-coding RNAs could...
