A chromatin complex that catalyses H3K27 methylation, with locus-specific recruitment and developmental functions.
Its catalytic activity deposits H3K27 methylation, including the trimethylated state associated with many repressed developmental genes. Recruitment and recognition of modified chromatin can stabilize a regulatory state while retaining the possibility of later reversal. [ref]
