Convergent evolution between PALI1 and JARID2 for the allosteric activation of PRC2
Q. Zhang, S. C. Agius, S. F. Flanigan…·C. Davidovich
This study shows that PALI1, a vertebrate-specific PRC2 accessory subunit, convergently evolved to function like JARID2 by allosterically activating PRC2 through methylation and DNA binding.
