The DUBle life of polycomb complexes
Abstract
Many Polycomb group (PcG) proteins assemble into complexes containing histone-modifying enzymes that act in concert to control developmental regulators. In a recent study in Nature, Scheuermann et al. report the identification of a PcG complex with histone H2A-specific deubiquitinase activity that may be a key player in PcG-target gene regulation.
