Polycomb group (PcG) proteins are a special set of repressive transcription Factors involved in epigenetic modifications of chromatin. They from two functionally distinct groups of c,catalytically active complexes. Polycomb repressive complex I (PRC1) and 2 (PRO). The PRC1 complex is an important yet poorly characterized multiprotein histone ubiquitylation machine responsible For maintaining transcriptionally silent states of genes through historic H2A K 119 modification. The Ring, domain containing subunits of PRC1 also have sustrate-targeting, domains that interact with Cbx proteins, which have been i-i-riplicated In chromatin and RNA binding. In till,, work. we present a high resolution structure of the C-terminal domain of Ring 113, revealing a variant ubiquitin-like fold with I distinct conserved surface region. Oil the basis of crystal structure and mutational analysis of this domain we show that the conserved surface is responsible For Interaction with Cbx members of the PRO and homodimer formation These data suggest a mechanism by which Ring, 113 serves as an adaptor that mediates binding between the member of the PRC1 complex and the nucleosome
