Molecular modification of DNA and the histone proteins it is bound to is one of the key mechanisms responsible for regulating gene expression. Polycomb-group proteins play an important role in some of these modification processes, but the molecular mechanisms by which they bind to DNA and exert their effects have been poorly understood.
