CD Definition:
VEFS-Box of polycomb protein; The VEFS-Box (VRN2-EMF2-FIS2-Su(z)12) box is the C-terminal region of these proteins, characterized by an acidic cluster and a tryptophan/methionine-rich sequence, the acidic-W/M domain. Some of these sequences are associated with a zinc-finger domain about 100 residues towards the N-terminus. This protein is one of the polycomb cluster of proteins which control HOX gene transcription as it functions in heterochromatin-mediated repression.
