Summary: Enables chromatin binding activity; enzyme activator activity; and methylated histone binding activity. Involved in facultative heterochromatin formation. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including cellular response to leukemia inhibitory factor; regulation of adaxial/abaxial pattern formation; and regulation of gene expression. Located in pronucleus and sex chromatin. Part of ESC/E(Z) complex and chromatin silencing complex. Is expressed in several structures, including branchial arch; central nervous system; early embryo; embryo mesenchyme; and genitourinary system. Orthologous to human EED (embryonic ectoderm development). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Dec 2024]

The epigenetic state of EED-Gli3-Gli1 regulatory axis controls embryonic cortical neurogenesis.
Title: The epigenetic state of EED-Gli3-Gli1 regulatory axis controls embryonic cortical neurogenesis.
EED is required for mouse primordial germ cell differentiation in the embryonic gonad.
Title: EED is required for mouse primordial germ cell differentiation in the embryonic gonad.
these findings established a critical role of EED in the development of hippocampal dentate gyrus, which might shed new light on the molecular mechanism of intellectual disability in patients with EED mutations.
Title: Polycomb Protein EED Regulates Neuronal Differentiation through Targeting SOX11 in Hippocampal Dentate Gyrus.
In maternal-null (Eed(m-/-)) but not zygotic-null (Eed(-/-)) early embryos, the maternal X-chromosome ectopically induced Xist and underwent inactivation. Expression of PRC2 in the oocyte and transmission of the gene products to the embryo may dictate the occurrence of imprinted X-inactivation in mammals.
Title: Conversion of random X-inactivation to imprinted X-inactivation by maternal PRC2.
These findings identify Eed/PRC2 as necessary for maintenance of global gene silencing and terminal differentiation in b cells, and suggest a ''two-hit'' (chromatin and hyperglycemia) model of b cell dedifferentiation.
Title: The Polycomb-Dependent Epigenome Controls β Cell Dysfunction, Dedifferentiation, and Diabetes.
These data reveal a novel epigenetic regulated pathway and suggest an essential role for Eed in SVZ homeostasis and injury.
Title: Polycomb Protein Eed is Required for Neurogenesis and Cortical Injury Activation in the Subventricular Zone.
Eed, an essential component of the Polycomb group complex 2 (PRC2), is required for establishing H3K27me3 imprinting
Title: Maternal Eed knockout causes loss of H3K27me3 imprinting and random X inactivation in the extraembryonic cells.
The mouse nerves with EED-deficient Schwann cells display slow axonal regeneration with significantly low expression of axon guidance genes.
Title: Polycomb repression regulates Schwann cell proliferation and axon regeneration after nerve injury.
Using a genetic approach that deleted Eed specifically in the growing oocyte, results showed that oocytes lacked H3K27me3 and produced offspring with significant overgrowth that involved increased adiposity (percentage fat) and increased bone mineral density. These data demonstrate that EED is required in the oocyte for programming developmental outcomes that affect life-long outcomes in offspring.
Title: Loss of maternal EED results in postnatal overgrowth.
Eed, an essential subunit of PRC2, is crucial to maintain the identity of CD4(+) T cells under TGFbeta-induced regulatory T cell (Treg)-polarizing conditions.
Title: Loss of Eed leads to lineage instability and increased CD8 expression of mouse CD4(+) T cells upon TGFβ signaling.

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
