Proposed model for the NIPP1-mediated regulation of EZH2 chromatin association by reversible phosphorylation. PP1 dephosphorylates EZH2 on TP-motifs. The CDK-mediated phosphorylation of EZH2 on TP5 (T416) results in the recruitment of NIPP1, which inhibits PP1. This enables the net phosphorylation of EZH2 on other TP-dipeptide motifs, including TP3 (T345), which was previously shown to mediate EZH2 binding to chromatin. The NIPP1-regulated phosphorylation of EZH2 is required for its recruitment to target genes that are implicated in proliferation and contributes to their silencing.
