PcG PRC1 complex acts via chromatin remodeling and modification of histones; it mediates monoubiquitination of histone H2A 'Lys-119', rendering chromatin heritably changed in its expressibility. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:21282530}. |Chromo| |ubiquitin-protein transferase activator activity| |PRC1 complex| |positive regulation of collagen biosynthetic process| |positive regulation of collagen metabolic process| |heterochromatin| |PcG protein complex| |regulation of collagen biosynthetic process| |histone ubiquitination| |regulation of collagen metabolic process| |single-stranded RNA binding| |methylated histone binding| |positive regulation of DNA repair| |cellular response to hydrogen peroxide| |positive regulation of response to DNA damage stimulus| |cellular response to antibiotic| |response to hydrogen peroxide| |regulation of DNA repair| |cellular response to reactive oxygen species| |positive regulation of DNA metabolic process| |response to reactive oxygen species| |cellular response to toxic substance| |regulation of response to DNA damage stimulus| |nuclear chromatin| |cellular response to oxidative stress| |response to antibiotic| |regulation of DNA metabolic process| |histone modification| |covalent chromatin modification| |response to oxidative stress| |cellular response to drug| |response to toxic substance| |response to inorganic substance| |protein ubiquitination| |chromatin organization| |regulation of cellular response to stress| |protein modification by small protein conjugation| |negative regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II| |positive regulation of cell population proliferation| |protein modification by small protein conjugation or removal| |response to drug| |cellular response to oxygen-containing compound| |chromosome organization| |negative regulation of transcription, DNA-templated| |negative regulation of nucleic acid-templated transcription| |negative regulation of RNA biosynthetic process| |negative regulation of RNA metabolic process| |negative regulation of cellular macromolecule biosynthetic process| |negative regulation of nucleobase-containing compound metabolic process| |negative regulation of macromolecule biosynthetic process| |regulation of response to stress| |negative regulation of cellular biosynthetic process| |negative regulation of biosynthetic process| |response to oxygen-containing compound| |regulation of cell population proliferation| |cellular response to stress| |negative regulation of gene expression| |positive regulation of nucleobase-containing compound metabolic process| |positive regulation of biosynthetic process| \\ === CRISPR Data === ^Screen^Score^ |[[:results:exp216|Erlotinib 10μM R05 exp216]]|-1.81| |[[:results:exp342|Calcium Ionophore 0.4μM R07 exp342]]|-1.72| |[[:results:exp190|Vincristine 0.0005μM R04 exp190]]|1.83| No correlation found to any other genes in chemogenomics.
