Abstract Polycomb Repressive Complexes (PRCs) control gene expression through the incorporation of H2Aub and H3K27me3. However, there is limited knowledge about PRCs’ interacting proteins and their interplay with PRCs in epigenome reshaping, which is fundamental to understand gene regulatory mechanisms. Here, we identified UBIQUITIN SPECIFIC PROTEASE 5 (UBP5) as a novel interactor of the PRC2 subunit SWINGER and its associated factor PWO1 in Arabidopsis thaliana . As inferred from the functional analyses of ubp5 CRISPR-Cas9 mutant plants, UBP5 regulates plant development and stress responses, notably by promoting H2A monoubiquitination erasure, leading to transcriptional de-repression. Preferential association of UBP5 at PRC2 recruiting motifs and local H3K27me3 gaining in ubp5 mutant plants further suggest the existence of functional interplays between UBP5 and PRC2 in regulating epigenome dynamics. In summary, UBP5 provides novel insights to disentangle the complex PRC2 interaction network and is a crucial regulator of the pivotal epigenetic repressive marks H2Aub and H3K27me3.
