Abstract
Here, we expound on the view that Xist RNA directly controls Polycomb repressive complex 2 (PRC2) recruitment, off-loading to chromatin, catalytic activity, and eviction from chromatin. RNA-PRC2 interactions also control RNA polymerase II transcription pausing. Dynamic RNA folding determines PRC2 activity. Disparate studies and interpretations abound but can be reconciled.
