The EED protein also known as embryonic ectoderm development plays an important mechanical role within the cell. It is a component of the polycomb repressive complex 2 (PRC2) that mediates transcriptional silencing of target genes. The molecular weight of EED protein is approximately 50 kDa. EED is expressed in various tissues and is a critical mediator in maintaining transcriptional repression necessary for embryonic stem cell identity and differentiation.
Biological function summary
EED functions as a repressor of gene transcription through the polycomb group complex. It interacts with other components of PRC2 such as EZH2 SUZ12 to establish and maintain chromatin modifications. EED acts as a scaffold allowing communication between other proteins essential in the assembly and function of PRC2. These interactions regulate histone methylation contributing to gene silencing.
Pathways
EED plays a central role in the regulation of the Wnt and Hedgehog pathways. These pathways are critical for controlling cell fate decisions and developmental processes. In the Wnt pathway EED in conjunction with other PRC2 members modulates β-catenin-mediated transcription. In the Hedgehog pathway EED impacts the Gli family of transcription factors underlining its importance in development and cellular proliferation regulation.
EED has been linked to various cancers and developmental disorders. Aberrant EED function and localization relate to overactivation of the Wnt pathway an aspect seen in colorectal cancer. EED also interacts with EHZ2 contributing to tumorigenesis through unchecked cell division and proliferation. In the context of Weaver syndrome mutations within EED are involved consolidating its important association with developmental anomalies.
