Disease
[EZH2_HUMAN] Weaver syndrome. The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry.
Function
[EED_HUMAN] Polycomb group (PcG) protein. Component of the PRC2/EED-EZH2 complex, which methylates 'Lys-9' and 'Lys-27' of histone H3, leading to transcriptional repression of the affected target gene. Also recognizes 'Lys-26' trimethylated histone H1 with the effect of inhibiting PRC2 complex methyltransferase activity on nucleosomal histone H3 'Lys-27', whereas H3 'Lys-27' recognition has the opposite effect, enabling the propagation of this repressive mark. 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 and CDKN2A.[1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8] [9] [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.[10] [11] [12] [13] [14] [15] [16] [17] [18] [19] [20] [21] [22] [23]
Publication Abstract from PubMed
Overexpression and somatic heterozygous mutations of EZH2, the catalytic subunit Polycomb repressive complex 2 (PRC2), are associated with several tumor types. EZH2 inhibitor, EPZ-6438 (Tazemetostat), demonstrated clinical efficacy in patients with acceptable safety profile as monotherapy. EED, another subunit of PRC2 complex, is essential for its histone methyltransferase activity through direct binding to trimethylated lysine 27 on histone 3 (H3K27Me3). Herein we disclose the discovery of a first-in-class potent, selective and orally bioavailable EED inhibitor EED226 (compound 43). Guided by X-ray crystallography, compound 43 discovered by fragmentation and regrowth of Compound 7, a PRC2 HTS hit that directly binds EED. Scaffold hopping followed by ensuing multi-parameter optimization led to the discovery compound 43. Compound 43 induces robust and sustained tumor regression in EZH2MUT pre-clinical DLBCL model. For the first time we demonstrate that specific and direct inhibition of EED can be effective as an anti-cancer strategy.
