BMI1, a core element of the polycomb repressive complex 1, is suggested to have oncogenic activity in a variety of cancers. Here, the authors report the structure of BMI1 bound to the protein PHC2, identify BMI1 homo-oligomerization interfaces, and analyse the role of BMI1 protein-protein interactions in PRC1 function.
