Facts about E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase RING2.
Essential element of a Polycomb group (PcG) multiprotein PRC1-like complex, a complex class necessary to keep the transcriptionally repressive state of several genes, including Hox genes, throughout development (PubMed:16359901, PubMed:26151332). PcG PRC1 complex acts through chromatin remodeling and modification of histones, rendering chromatin heritably changed in its expressibility (PubMed:26151332).

Nucleus. Chromosome. Enriched on inactive X chromosome (Xi) in female trophoblast stem (TS) cells as well as differentiating embryonic stem (ES) cells. The enrichment on Xi is transient during TS and ES cell differentiation. The association with Xi is mitotically stable in non-differentiated TS cells.
