General annotation (Comments)

Function

Histone methyltransferase that methylates histone H3 to form H3K36me. Involved in transcription elongation as well as in transcription repression. The methyltransferase activity requires the recruitment to the RNA polymerase II, which is CTK1 dependent. Ref.3 Ref.4 Ref.6 Ref.7 Ref.8 Ref.10 Ref.11

Catalytic activity

S-adenosyl-L-methionine + histone L-lysine = S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine + histone N(6)-methyl-L-lysine.

Subunit structure

Interacts with the RNA polymerase II hyperphosphorylated CTD. Interacts with CYC8. Ref.4 Ref.6 Ref.8 Ref.10 Ref.2 Ref.5 Ref.12

Subcellular location

Nucleus.

Domain

The AWS and SET domains are necessary for transcription repression. Ref.7 Ref.10

Miscellaneous

Present with 217 molecules/cell in log phase SD medium. Ref.9

Sequence similarities

Belongs to the histone-lysine methyltransferase family. SET2 subfamily.

Contains 1 AWS domain.

Contains 1 post-SET domain.

Contains 1 SET domain.

Contains 1 WW domain.
