Method: X-ray diffraction, Resolution 1.63Å Ligands: SVR Resources: FirstGlance, OCA, PDBe, RCSB, PDBsum, ProSAT Function CBX7_MOUSE Component of a Polycomb group (PcG) multiprotein PRC1-like complex, a complex class required to maintain the transcriptionally repressive state of many genes, including Hox genes, throughout development. PcG PRC1 complex acts via chromatin remodeling and modification of histones; it mediates monoubiquitination of histone H2A 'Lys-119', rendering chromatin heritably changed in its expressibility. Promotes histone H3 trimethylation at 'Lys-9' (H3K9me3). Binds to histone H3 trimethylated 'Lys-9' (H3K9me3) or at 'Lys-27' (H3K27me3). May possibly also bind trimethylated lysine residues in other proteins (in vitro). Binds non-coding, single-stranded RNA. Regulator of cellular lifespan by maintaining the repression of CDKN2A, but not by inducing telomerase activity.
