[[http://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/EED_HUMAN 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.<ref>PMID:9584199</ref> <ref>PMID:10581039</ref> <ref>PMID:14532106</ref> <ref>PMID:15385962</ref> <ref>PMID:15231737</ref> <ref>PMID:15225548</ref> <ref>PMID:16357870</ref> <ref>PMID:18285464</ref> <ref>PMID:20974918</ref>  [[http://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/EZH2_HUMAN 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.<ref>PMID:14532106</ref> <ref>PMID:15385962</ref> <ref>PMID:15231737</ref> <ref>PMID:15225548</ref> <ref>PMID:16179254</ref> <ref>PMID:16618801</ref> <ref>PMID:16357870</ref> <ref>PMID:16936726</ref> <ref>PMID:17210787</ref> <ref>PMID:17344414</ref> <ref>PMID:19026781</ref> <ref>PMID:18285464</ref> <ref>PMID:20935635</ref> <ref>PMID:23063525</ref>

== Publication Abstract from PubMed ==
PRC2 is a multisubunit methyltransferase involved in epigenetic regulation of early embryonic development and cell growth. The catalytic subunit EZH2 methylates primarily lysine 27 of histone H3, leading to chromatin compaction and repression of tumor suppressor genes. Inhibiting this activity by small molecules targeting EZH2 was shown to result in antitumor efficacy. Here, we describe the optimization of a chemical series representing a new class of PRC2 inhibitors which acts allosterically via the trimethyllysine pocket of the noncatalytic EED subunit. Deconstruction of a larger and complex screening hit to a simple fragment-sized molecule followed by structure-guided regrowth and careful property modulation were employed to yield compounds which achieve submicromolar inhibition in functional assays and cellular activity. The resulting molecules can serve as a simplified entry point for lead optimization and can be utilized to study this new mechanism of PRC2 inhibition and the associated biology in detail.
