Polycomb in development, genome regulation and cancer (FLYINGPOLYCOMB)

Start date: Sep 1, 2009, End date: Aug 31, 2015,

Polycomb group (PcG) and trithorax group (trxG) genes were discovered in Drosophila melanogaster as repressors and activators of Hox genes, a set of transcription factors that specify the antero-posterior axis of the body plan. PcG and trxG proteins form multimeric complexes that are required to maintain their expression state after the initial transcriptional regulators disappear from the embryo. ...

Regulation of Polycomb Complex (PRC2) during development and in diseases (REPODDID)

Start date: Feb 1, 2012, End date: Jan 31, 2017,

Polycomb Group (PcG) proteins are pivotal for the specification and maintenance of cell identity by preventing inappropriate gene activation. They function mostly through the regulation of chromatin structure and, in particular, the post-translational modification of histones. Although the enzymatic activities of the main PcG complexes has been described, lots remain to be discovered in terms of h ...

A Direct Role for Nucleosome Turnover in Polycomb Response Element Function (REPLACOMB)

Start date: Sep 1, 2012, End date: Aug 31, 2015,

"Polycomb group (PcG) and Trithorax group (TrxG) proteins are essential for maintaining different cell identities through chromatin-based regulation of gene expression during development. A crucial aspect of this system is the competition of PcG and TrxG proteins for cis-regulatory DNA elements called Polycomb Response Elements (PREs). However, the mechanisms underlying this competition remain lar ...
