H3K27me3 and the PRC1-H2AK119ub pathway cooperatively maintain heterochromatin and transcriptional silencing after the loss of H3K9 methylation

Abstract Background Heterochromatin is a fundamental component of eukaryotic chromosome architecture, crucial for genome stability and cell type-specific gene regulation. In mammalian nuclei, heterochromatin forms condensed B compartments, distinct from the transcriptionally active euchromatic A com...
