The transcription factor MECOM (EVI1) can associate with the polycomb repressor complexes (PRCs) and recruit them to the promoter of the PTEN gene (Song et al. 2009). Both the BMI1-containing PRC, supposedly PRC1.4, and the EZH2-containing PRC2 complex are recruited to the PTEN promoter, resulting in transcriptional silencing of the PTEN gene (Song et al. 2009, Yoshimi et al. 2011). Since the exact composition of the EZH2-containing PRC2 at the PTEN promoter is not known, the core EZH2-PRC2 complex is shown.
