RYBP-PRC1 Complexes Mediate H2A Ubiquitylation at Polycomb Target Sites Independently of PRC2 and H3K27me3

TL;DR: It is shown that RING1B, the catalytic subunit of PRC1, and associated monoubiquitylation of histone H2A are targeted to closely overlapping sites in wild-type and PRC2-deficient mouse embryonic stem cells (mESCs), demonstrating an H3K27me3-independent pathway for recruitment ofPRC1 activity.
Journal ArticleDOI

Targeting polycomb to pericentric heterochromatin in embryonic stem cells reveals a role for H2AK119u1 in PRC2 recruitment.

TL;DR: Surprisingly, it is found thatPRC1-linked H2A monoubiquitylation is sufficient to recruit PRC2 to chromatin in vivo, suggesting a mechanism through which recognition of unmethylated CpG determines the localization of both PRC1 andPRC2 at canonical and atypical target sites.
Journal ArticleDOI

Kinetochore localisation and phosphorylation of the mitotic checkpoint components Bub1 and BubR1 are differentially regulated by spindle events in human cells.

TL;DR: BUB1 and BubR1 may integrate different 'spindle assembly signals' into a single signal which can be interpreted by downstream cell cycle regulators, and are part of a common complex during mitosis.
