EZH2 noncanonically binds cMyc and p300 through a cryptic transactivation domain to mediate gene activation and promote oncogenesis
Canonically, EZH2 serves as the catalytic subunit of PRC2, which mediates H3K27me3
deposition and transcriptional repression. Here, we report that in acute leukaemias, EZH2 …
