RNF2 and cancer: To initially assess whether PRC1 components are altered in cancer, we examined the mutational frequencies of the histone H2A mono-ubiquitin ligases RNF2 (encoding RING1B) and RING1, the cPRC1 genes, and the core PRC1-encoding genes (Supplementary Fig. 1a) in large-scale genomic data sets from cancer patients.
