Summary

It is discovered that the histone H2AK119 E3 ubiquitin ligase activity of Polycomb repressive complex 1 (PRC1) is defined by the composition of its catalytic subunits and is highly regulated by RYBP/YAF2-dependent stimulation, suggesting a localized form of epigenetic memory required for normal PcG chromatin domain function in gene regulation.
