General Comments
The EED protein is an essential subunit of the polycomb repressive complex 2 (PRC2). PRC2 trimethylates histone H3 at lysine 27 (H3K27me3) causing gene silencing. H3K27me3 marks are recognised, and the trimethyllysine bound by EED. The small molecule probe A-395 prevents EED binding to H3K27me3 histone marks and this blocks activation of the catalytic activity of PRC2.
