Polycomb repressive complex 2 (PRC2) trimethylates lysine 27 of histone H3 (H3K27me3), which regulates gene expression and controls diverse biological transitions in development, embryonic stem cell (ESC) differentiation, and cancer. Here we show that Polycomb-like 3 (Pcl3) is a component of PRC2 that promotes H3K27 trimethylation in ESCs. Chromatin immunoprecipitation and sequencing (ChIP-seq) revealed that Pcl3 co-localizes and recruits Suz12 to CpG islands. Depletion of Pcl3 decreased Suz12 binding at over 60% of PRC2 targets, including many bivalent genes. Pcl3 promotes ESC self-renewal as knockdown of Pcl3 increased spontaneous differentiation. However, Pcl3 does not affect ESC pluripotency as teratomas derived from Pcl3-depleted ESCs were able to form all three germ layers. Mutation of conserved residues within the Pcl3 TUDOR domain, a domain that recognizes methylated histones, compromises H3K27me3, suggesting that the TUDOR domain of Pcl3 is crucial for function. Thus, Pcl3 is a component of PRC2 critical for histone methylation and PRC2 recruitment.
