CC   -!- FUNCTION: Polycomb group (PcG) protein. Catalytic subunit of some
CC       PcG multiprotein complex, which methylates 'Lys-27' of histone H3,
CC       leading to transcriptional repression of the affected target
CC       genes. Required to prevent the proliferation of the central cell
CC       of the female gametophyte by repressing target genes before
CC       fertilization. After fertilization, it probably also regulates the
CC       embryo and endosperm proliferation and anteroposterior
CC       organization during seed development. PcG proteins act by forming
CC       multiprotein complexes, which are required to maintain the
CC       transcriptionally repressive state of homeotic genes throughout
CC       development. PcG proteins are not required to initiate repression,
CC       but to maintain it during later stages of development. Interacts
CC       with the promoter and repress the transcription of genes such as
CC       PHE1 and PHE2, that are paternally active and maternally silenced
CC       genes. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10097185, ECO:0000269|PubMed:11250158,
CC       ECO:0000269|PubMed:12815071, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15151989,
CC       ECO:0000269|PubMed:15619622, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9545225}.
CC   -!- CATALYTIC ACTIVITY: S-adenosyl-L-methionine + L-lysine-[histone] =
CC       S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine + N(6)-methyl-L-lysine-[histone].
CC       {ECO:0000255|PROSITE-ProRule:PRU00909}.
CC   -!- SUBUNIT: Interacts directly with FIE via its N-terminal domain.
CC       These two proteins are probably inderectly associated with FIS2.
CC       In plants, PcG complexes are probably composed of a member of the
CC       EZ family (CLF or MEA), FIE, and a member of the VEFS family
CC       (FIS2, VRN2 or EMF2). Interacts with TAF13.
CC       {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10962025, ECO:0000269|PubMed:11114524,
CC       ECO:0000269|PubMed:11148284, ECO:0000269|PubMed:23506837}.
CC   -!- INTERACTION:
CC       Q9LT47:FIE; NbExp=12; IntAct=EBI-632832, EBI-307146;
CC   -!- SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Nucleus {ECO:0000269|PubMed:11114524}.
CC       Note=Excluded from the nucleolus.
CC   -!- TISSUE SPECIFICITY: Expressed in unpollinated siliques that
CC       contain maturing gametophytes. Not expressed at early stages of
CC       floral development during early megagametogenesis.
CC       {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10962025, ECO:0000269|PubMed:11114524,
CC       ECO:0000269|PubMed:9545225}.
CC   -!- DEVELOPMENTAL STAGE: Expressed both maternally and zygotically.
CC       Expressed in both egg and central cell before fertilization. After
CC       fertilization, it is expressed in the embryo and endosperm, then
CC       decreases during seed maturation.
CC   -!- INDUCTION: Maternal MEA allele is activated by DME but repressed
CC       by MET1 in the central cell of the female gametophyte, the
CC       progenitor of the endosperm. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:14667411}.
CC   -!- MISCELLANEOUS: The MEA locus is imprinted. Maternal inherited gene
CC       is expressed in the ovule (the egg and the central cell), while
CC       the paternal inherited gene is silenced in the pollen. After
CC       fertilization, only the maternal inherited allele is expressed.
CC       The paternal repression is dependent on DDM1 protein, which may
CC       methylate the paternal locus, while the maternal inherited allele
CC       is allowed by the DME protein, which may antagonize or suppress
CC       DDM1 dependent methylation, and activates its transcription.
CC   -!- SIMILARITY: Belongs to the class V-like SAM-binding
CC       methyltransferase superfamily. Histone-lysine methyltransferase
CC       family. EZ subfamily. {ECO:0000255|PROSITE-ProRule:PRU00909}.
CC   -!- SIMILARITY: Contains 1 CXC domain. {ECO:0000255|PROSITE-
