Polycomb group (PcG) proteins mediate long-range associations between Hox genes, which correlate with gene repression in vivo. Bantignies et al. (2011) identify a physiological role for the nuclear localization of Hox genes in PcG-mediated gene silencing, strengthening the evidence that nuclear positioning regulates gene expression.
多梳蛋白(PcG)家族蛋白介导 Hox 基因之间的长距离关联,这与体内基因抑制相关。Bantignies 等人(2011 年)发现 Hox 基因在 PcG 介导的基因沉默中的核定位的生理作用,这进一步证实了核定位调节基因表达的证据。
