Abstract The Polycomb group (PcG) of proteins represses homeotic gene expression
through the assembly of multiprotein complexes on key regulatory elements. The …

The products of the Polycomb group (PcG) of genes are necessary for the maintenance of
transcriptional repression of a number of important developmental genes, including the …

The products of the Polycomb group (PcG) of genes act as transcriptional repressors
involved in the maintenance of homeotic gene expression patterns throughout development …

In Drosophila, the Polycomb group (PcG) of genes is required for the maintenance of
homeotic gene repression during development. Here, we have characterized the Drosophila …

Polycomb group (PcG) proteins were first described in Drosophila as factors responsible for
maintaining the transcriptionally repressed state of Hox/homeotic genes in a stable and …

The Polycomb (Pc) protein is a component of a multimeric, chromatin-associated Polycomb
group (PcG) protein complex, which is involved in stable repression of gene activity. The …

The Drosophila gene grainyhead is the founding member of a large family of genes
encoding developmental transcription factors that are highly conserved from fly to human …

Specific targeting of the protein complexes formed by the Polycomb group of proteins is
critically required to maintain the inactive state of a group of developmentally regulated …

Polycomb-group (PcG) proteins form large multimeric protein complexes that are involved in
maintaining the transcriptionally repressive state of genes. Previously, we reported that …

Repression and activation of the expression of homeotic genes are maintained by proteins
encoded by the Polycomb group (PcG) and trithorax group (trxG) genes. Complexes formed …
