This entry represents the C2H2-type zinc finger domain (Zn) of human Polycomb protein SUZ12, a component of the PRC2 complex, which methylates 'Lys-9' and 'Lys-27' of histone H3, leading to transcriptional repression of the affected target gene. This domain is necessary to mediate stable binding of the TR domain of Jarid2, another component of the PRC2 complex, and the C-terminal domain of EPOP (C17orf96, a scaffold protein that bridges with the elongin BC complex). It shows a beta -sheet and an alpha helix on one side [1]. This entry is often found associated with Pfam:PF09733.
