== Disease ==

The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry.[https://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/SUZ12_HUMAN SUZ12_HUMAN] A chromosomal aberration involving SUZ12 may be a cause of endometrial stromal tumors. Translocation t(7;17)(p15;q21) with JAZF1. The translocation generates the JAZF1-SUZ12 oncogene consisting of the N-terminus part of JAZF1 and the C-terminus part of SUZ12. It is frequently found in all cases of endometrial stromal tumors, except in endometrial stromal sarcomas, where it is rarer.<ref>PMID:11371647</ref> 
== Function ==
[https://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/EZH2_HUMAN EZH2_HUMAN] Polycomb group (PcG) protein. Catalytic subunit of the PRC2/EED-EZH2 complex, which methylates 'Lys-9' (H3K9me) and 'Lys-27' (H3K27me) of histone H3, leading to transcriptional repression of the affected target gene. Able to mono-, di- and trimethylate 'Lys-27' of histone H3 to form H3K27me1, H3K27me2 and H3K27me3, respectively. Compared to EZH2-containing complexes, it is more abundant in embryonic stem cells and plays a major role in forming H3K27me3, which is required for embryonic stem cell identity and proper differentiation. The PRC2/EED-EZH2 complex may also serve as a recruiting platform for DNA methyltransferases, thereby linking two epigenetic repression systems. Genes repressed by the PRC2/EED-EZH2 complex include HOXC8, HOXA9, MYT1, CDKN2A and retinoic acid target genes. EZH2 can also methylate non-histone proteins such as the transcription factor GATA4 and the nuclear receptor RORA.<ref>PMID:14532106</ref> <ref>PMID:15385962</ref> <ref>PMID:15231737</ref> <ref>PMID:15225548</ref> <ref>PMID:16179254</ref> <ref>PMID:16618801</ref> <ref>PMID:16357870</ref> <ref>PMID:16936726</ref> <ref>PMID:17210787</ref> <ref>PMID:17344414</ref> <ref>PMID:19026781</ref> <ref>PMID:18285464</ref> <ref>PMID:20935635</ref> <ref>PMID:23063525</ref> [https://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/SUZ12_HUMAN SUZ12_HUMAN] Polycomb group (PcG) protein.

== Publication Abstract from PubMed ==
Polycomb repressive complex 2 (PRC2) mediates trimethylation of histone H3K27 (H3K27me3), an epigenetic hallmark for repressed chromatin. Overactive mutants of the histone lysine methyltransferase subunit of PRC2, Ezh2, are found in various types of cancers. Pyridone-containing inhibitors such as GSK126 compete with S-adenosylmethionine (SAM) for Ezh2 binding and effectively inhibit PRC2 activity. PRC2 from the thermophilic fungus Chaetomium thermophilum (ct) is functionally similar to the human version in several regards and has the added advantage of producing high-resolution crystal structures, although inhibitor-bound structures of human or human/chameleon PRC2 are also available at up to 2.6 A resolution. We solved crystal structures of both human and ctPRC2 bound to GSK126 and the structurally similar inhibitor GSK343. While the two organisms feature a disparate degree of inhibitor potency, surprisingly, GSK126 binds in a similar manner in both structures. Structure-guided protein engineering of the drug binding pocket allowed us to introduce humanizing mutations into ctEzh2 to produce a ctPRC2 variant that is more susceptible to GSK126 inhibition. Additional analysis indicated that an evolutionarily conserved structural platform dictates a unique mode of GSK126 binding, suggesting a mechanism of drug selectivity. The existing drug scaffold may thus be used to probe the function and cellular regulation of PRC2 in a wide spectrum of organisms, ranging from fungi to humans.
