General annotation (Comments)

Function

Histone methyltransferase that specifically methylates histone H3 to form H3K79me. This methylation is required for telomere silencing and for the pachytene checkpoint during the meiotic cell cycle by allowing the recruitment of RAD9 to double strand breaks. Nucleosomes are preferred as substrate compared to free histones By similarity.

Catalytic activity

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

Enzyme regulation

Ubiquitination of histone H2B to form H2BK123ub1 is required for efficient DOT1 methyltransferase activity on histone H3 By similarity.

Subcellular location

Nucleus By similarity.

Miscellaneous

In contrast to other lysine histone methyltransferases, it does not contain a SET domain, suggesting the existence of another mechanism for methylation of lysine residues of histones.

Sequence similarities

Belongs to the DOT1 family.
