Fig. 8. A working model of the BPC complex-mediated transcription repression.

Fig. 8

When BPC is present, AIPP3-BAH, and AIPP2/PAIPP2-PHD motifs recognize H3K27me3, which is deposited by PRC2 complex, and unmodified H3K4 around the TSS, respectively. Then, the BAH–PHD histone reader module recruit CPL2 to dephosphorylate Pol II at the fifth Ser of CTD, thereby repressing the transcriptional initiation and subsequent elongation of Pol II. When BPC is absent, active H3K4me3 mark is deposited. Pol II CTD-Ser2 and -Ser5 residues can be phosphorylated sequentially, leading to release of Pol II from initiation to elongation state.
