This suggests that regulating gene activity is not the only function of these histone decorations — perhaps not even the main one. The histone proteins of complex cells are named H2A, H2B, H3 and H4.

EZH2 is also capable of methylating a number of non-histone protein substrates, such as STAT3, which promotes PD-L1 expression in tumor cells. In addition, EZH2 has a PRC2-independent role in ...
