Polycomb group proteins assemble into multi-protein complexes, known as Polycomb repressive complexes 1 and 2 (PRC1 and PRC2), that guide cell fate decisions during embryonic development. PRC1 forms an array of biochemically distinct canonical PRC1 (cPRC1) or non-canonical PRC1 (ncPRC1) complexes characterized by the mutually exclusive presence of PCGF (PCGF1-PCGF6) paralog subunit; however, whether each one of these subcomplexes fulfills a distinct role remains largely controversial. Here, by performing a CRISPR-based loss-of-function screen in embryonic stem cells (ESCs), we uncovered a previously unappreciated functional redundancy among PRC1 subcomplexes. Disruption of ncPRC1, but not cPRC1, displayed severe defects in ESC pluripotency. Remarkably, coablation of non-canonical and canonical PRC1 in ESCs resulted in exacerbation of the phenotype observed in the non-canonical PRC1-null ESCs, highlighting the importance of functional redundancy among PRC1 subcomplexes. Together, our studies demonstrate that PRC1 subcomplexes act redundantly to silence lineage-specific genes and ensure robust maintenance of ESC identity. cPRC1 complexes are not the key determinant of self-renewal and pluripotency in ESCs ncPRC1 complexes play a fundamental and redundant role in maintaining pluripotency in ESCs cPRC1 and ncPRC1 act redundantly to suppress lineage-specific genes and preserve ESC identity Polycomb group (PcG) proteins play a critical role both in maintaining pluripotency and the cell fate decision of embryonic stem cells (ESCs), yet the underlying mechanisms remain elusive. Yaru et al. report that Polycomb repressive complex 1 (PRC1) family complexes share a redundant but essential role in the maintenance of the pluripotent state in ESCs.
