FLC regulation through protein complexes

Protein function

Encodes a subunit of the PRC2 complex, which is involed in histone methylation.

Phenotype

Function:
Polycomb group (PcG) protein. PcG proteins act by forming multiprotein complexes, which are required to maintain the transcriptionally repressive state of homeotic genes throughout development. PcG proteins are not required to initiate repression, but to maintain it during later stages of development. They probably act via the methylation of histones, rendering chromatin heritably changed in its expressibility. Required to prevent the proliferation of the central cell by repressing unknown target genes before fertilization. Regulates the anteroposterior organization of the endosperm. [Data from UniProt]
