Entrez Gene summary for EZH2:
This gene encodes a member of the Polycomb-group (PcG) family. PcG family members form multimeric protein complexes,
which are involved in maintaining the transcriptional repressive state of genes over successive cell generations. This
protein associates with the embryonic ectoderm development protein, the VAV1 oncoprotein, and the X-linked nuclear
protein. This protein may play a role in the hematopoietic and central nervous systems. Multiple alternatively splcied
transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms have been identified for this gene. (provided by RefSeq, Feb 2011)

UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot: EZH2_HUMAN, Q15910
Function: 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

About This Section

UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot: EZH2_HUMAN, Q15910 (See protein sequence)
Recommended Name: Histone-lysine N-methyltransferase EZH2  
Size: 746 amino acids; 85363 Da
Subunit: Binds ATRX via the SET domain (Probable). Component of the PRC2/EED-EZH2 complex, which includes EED, EZH2,
SUZ12, RBBP4 and RBBP7 and possibly AEBP2. The minimum components required for methyltransferase activity of the
PRC2/EED-EZH2 complex are EED, EZH2 and SUZ12. The PRC2 complex may also interact with DNMT1, DNMT3A, DNMT3B and PHF1
via the EZH2 subunit and with SIRT1 via the SUZ12 subunit. Interacts with HDAC1 and HDAC2. Interacts with PRAME
Subcellular location: Nucleus
Developmental stage: Expression decreases during senescence of embryonic fibroblasts (HEFs). Expression peaks at the
G1/S phase boundary
Caution: Two variants of the PRC2 complex have been described, termed PRC3 and PRC4. Each of the three complexes may
include a different complement of EED isoforms, although the precise sequences of the isoforms in each complex have
not been determined. The PRC2 and PRC4 complexes may also methylate 'Lys-26' of histone H1 in addition to 'Lys-27' of
histone H3 (PubMed:15099518 and PubMed:15684044), although other studies have demonstrated no methylation of 'Lys-26'
of histone H1 by PRC2 (PubMed:16431907)

  • Defects in EZH2 are the cause of Weaver syndrome type 2 (WVS2) [MIM:614421]. WVS2 is a syndrome of accelerated
  • growth and osseous maturation, unusual craniofacial appearance, hoarse and low-pitched cry, and hypertonia with
    camptodactyly. Distinguishing features of Weaver syndrome include broad forehead and face, ocular hypertelorism,
    prominent wide philtrum, micrognathia, deep horizontal chin groove, and deep-set nails. In addition, carpal bone
    development is advanced over the rest of the hand
