Mammalian Polycomb-like gene MTF2/PCL2 forms a complex with Polycomb repressive complex-2 (PRC2) and collaborates with PRC1 to achieve repression of Hox gene expression [1]. The human MTF2 gene is expressed in three splicing variants, each of them contains the short C-terminal domain defined here. The domain is subject to structure determination by the Joint Center of Structural Genomics.

1: Mammalian polycomb-like Pcl2/Mtf2 is a novel regulatory component of PRC2 that can differentially modulate polycomb activity both at the Hox gene cluster and at Cdkn2a genes.
