Also known as HPH1RAE28
Summary
PHC1 (polyhomeotic homolog 1, HGNC:3182) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 12p13.31, encoding Polyhomeotic-like protein 1 (P78364). Component of a Polycomb group (PcG) multiprotein PRC1-like complex, a complex class required to maintain the transcriptionally repressive state of many genes, including Hox genes, throughout development. It is a selective cancer dependency (DepMap: 12.0% of cell lines).
This gene is a homolog of the Drosophila polyhomeotic gene, which is a member of the Polycomb group of genes. The gene product is a component of a multimeric protein complex that contains EDR2 and the vertebrate Polycomb protein BMH1. The gene product, the EDR2 protein, and the Drosophila polyhomeotic protein share 2 highly conserved domains, named homology domains I and II. These domains are involved in protein-protein interactions and may mediate heterodimerization of the protein encoded by this gene and the EDR2 protein.

Function. Component of a Polycomb group (PcG) multiprotein PRC1-like complex, a complex class required to maintain the transcriptionally repressive state of many genes, including Hox genes, throughout development. PcG PRC1 complex acts via chromatin remodeling and modification of histones; it mediates monoubiquitination of histone H2A ‘Lys-119’, rendering chromatin heritably changed in its expressibility. Required for proper control of cellular levels of GMNN expression.
Subunit / interactions. Homodimer. Component of a PRC1-like complex. Interacts with RNF2 and CBX7. Interacts with PHC2, PHC2 and BMI1.
Subcellular location. Nucleus.
Disease relevance. Microcephaly 11, primary, autosomal recessive (MCPH11) [MIM:615414] A form of microcephaly, a disease defined as a head circumference more than 3 standard deviations below the age-related mean. Brain weight is markedly reduced and the cerebral cortex is disproportionately small. The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry.
Miscellaneous. The hPRC-H complex purification reported by PubMed:12167701 probably presents a mixture of different PRC1-like complexes.

Enriched among interaction partners
Reactome pathways and GO biological processes over-represented among this gene’s 45 IntAct physical interaction partners (hypergeometric vs the genome-wide background, BH-FDR, gene-set size 15–500, ranked by fold). A functional readout of the neighbourhood — distinct from this gene’s own memberships above, and biased toward well-studied / hub proteins, so read it as themes rather than proof.
