General annotation (Comments)

Function

Protein-lysine N-methyltransferase that monomethylates both histones and non-histone proteins. Specifically monomethylates 'Lys-20' of histone H4 (H4K20me1). H4K20me1 is enriched during mitosis and represents a specific tag for epigenetic transcriptional repression. Mainly functions in euchromatin regions, thereby playing a central role in the silencing of euchromatic genes. Required for cell proliferation, probably by contributing to the maintenance of proper higher-order structure of DNA during mitosis. Involved in chromosome condensation and proper cytokinesis By similarity.

Catalytic activity

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

Subcellular location

Nucleus By similarity. Chromosome By similarity. Note: Specifically localizes to mitotic chromosomes. Associates with silent chromatin on euchromatic arms By similarity.

Sequence similarities

Belongs to the histone-lysine methyltransferase family. PR/SET subfamily.

Contains 1 SET domain.
