Comment typeDescription
FunctionComponent 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. In the PRC1 complex, it is required to stimulate the E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase activity of RNF2/RING2. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:16359901, ECO:0000269|PubMed:16714294, ECO:0000269|PubMed:16882984}.

MiscellaneousThe hPRC-H complex purification reported by PubMed:12167701 probably presents a mixture of different PRC1-like complexes.
PtmMonoubiquitinated (By similarity). May be polyubiquitinated; which does not lead to proteasomal degradation. {ECO:0000250, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15897469}.
SimilarityContains 1 RING-type zinc finger. {ECO:0000255|PROSITE-ProRule:PRU00175}.
Subcellular LocationNucleus. Cytoplasm.
SubunitComponent of a PRC1-like complex. Interacts with RING1 and RING2 (By similarity). Interacts vwith CBX7 and CBX8. Interacts with SPOP. Part of a complex consisting of BMI1, CUL3 and SPOP. Interacts with E4F1. {ECO:0000250, ECO:0000269|PubMed:12167701, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15386022, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15897469, ECO:0000269|PubMed:16714294, ECO:0000269|PubMed:16882984, ECO:0000269|PubMed:19636380, ECO:0000269|PubMed:21282530, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9121482, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9199346}.
