The epigenetic modulator Polycomb-repressive complex 2 (PRC2) catalyzes histone 3 Lys 27 methylation (H3K27me3) through its core component, Ezh. Here Reinberg and colleagues investigate how ancillary factor Jarid2 and mammalian homologs Ezh1/2 affect PRC2 engagement with nucleosomes and chromatin. They show that Jarid2 nucleosome-binding activity contributes to PRC2 stimulation. Interestingly, this activity is exhibited by PRC2–Ezh1, in contrast to PRC2–Ezh2. The data suggest a model in which PRC2–Ezh2 is important for establishing H3K27me3 in dividing cells, whereas PRC2–Ezh1 is required for its maintenance in resting cells. Polycomb-repressive complex 2 (PRC2) comprises specific members of the Polycomb group of epigenetic modulators. PRC2 catalyzes methylation of histone H3 at Lys 27 (H3K27me3) through its Enhancer of zeste (Ezh) constituent, of which there are two mammalian homologs: Ezh1 and Ezh2. Several ancillary factors, including Jarid2, modulate PRC2 function, with Jarid2 facilitating its recruitment to target genes. Jarid2, like Ezh2, is present in poorly differentiated and actively dividing cells, while Ezh1 associates with PRC2 in all cells, including resting cells. We found that Jarid2 exhibits nucleosome-binding activity that contributes to PRC2 stimulation. Moreover, such nucleosome-binding activity is exhibited by PRC2 comprising Ezh1 (PRC2–Ezh1), in contrast to PRC2–Ezh2. The presence of Ezh1 helps to maintain PRC2 occupancy on its target genes in myoblasts where Jarid2 is not expressed. Our findings allow us to propose a model in which PRC2–Ezh2 is important for the de novo establishment of H3K27me3 in dividing cells, whereas PRC2–Ezh1 is required for its maintenance in resting cells.
