General annotation (Comments)

Function

Histone methyltransferase that specifically mono- and dimethylates 'Lys-9' of histone H3 (H3K9me1 and H3K9me2, respectively) in euchromatin. H3K9me represents a specific tag for epigenetic transcriptional repression by recruiting HP1 proteins to methylated histones. Also weakly methylates 'Lys-27' of histone H3 (H3K27me). Also required for DNA methylation, the histone methyltransferase activity is not required for DNA methylation, suggesting that these 2 activities function independently. Probably targeted to histone H3 by different DNA-binding proteins like E2F6, MGA, MAX and/or DP1. During G0 phase, it probably contributes to silencing of MYC- and E2F-responsive genes, suggesting a role in G0/G1 transition in cell cycle. In addition to the histone methyltransferase activity, also methylates non-histone proteins: mediates dimethylation of 'Lys-373' of p53/TP53. Ref.1 Ref.4

Catalytic activity

S-adenosyl-L-methionine + L-lysine-[histone] = S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine + N(6)-methyl-L-lysine-[histone]. Ref.1

Enzyme regulation

Methyltransferase activity is inhibited by BIX-01294. Efficiently inhibited by compound E72, a BIX-01294 derivative in which the diazepane ring and the benzyl are replaced with a 3-dimethylaminopropyl and a 5-aminopentyl group at sites B and C, respectively By similarity.

Subunit structure

Interacts with WIZ. Part of the E2F6.com-1 complex in G0 phase composed of E2F6, MGA, MAX, TFDP1, CBX3, BAT8, EHMT1, RING1, RNF2, MBLR, L3MBTL2 and YAF2. Interacts with MPHOSPH8 By similarity. Heterodimer; heterodimerizes with EHMT2. Interacts (via ANK repeats) with RELA (when monomethylated at 'Lys-310'). Ref.1 Ref.5

Subcellular location

Nucleus. Chromosome. Note: Associates with euchromatic regions. Ref.1

Tissue specificity

Ubiquitous. Ref.1

Domain

The ANK repeats specifically recognize and bind H3K9me1 and H3K9me2 By similarity. They also specifically recognize and bind RELA subunit of NF-kappa-B, when RELA is monomethylated at 'Lys-310'. Ref.5

The SET domain mediates interaction with WIZ By similarity. Ref.5

Disruption phenotype

Embryos die around E9.5. Levels of H3K9me1 and H3K9me2 are drastically reduced. Ref.1

Sequence similarities

Belongs to the histone-lysine methyltransferase family.

Contains 8 ANK repeats.

Contains 1 pre-SET domain.

Contains 1 SET domain.

Sequence caution

The sequence CAM22112.1 differs from that shown. Reason: Erroneous initiation. Translation N-terminally extended.

Alternative products

This entry describes 3 isoforms produced by alternative splicing. [Align] [Select]
Isoform 1 (identifier: Q5DW34-1)

This isoform has been chosen as the 'canonical' sequence. All positional information in this entry refers to it. This is also the sequence that appears in the downloadable versions of the entry.

The sequence of this isoform differs from the canonical sequence as follows:
     273-279: Missing.
     455-500: Missing.
Note: No experimental confirmation available.
Isoform 3 (identifier: Q5DW34-3)

The sequence of this isoform differs from the canonical sequence as follows:
