Protein attributes

Sequence length1739 AA.
Sequence statusComplete.
Protein existenceEvidence at protein level.

General annotation (Comments)

Function

Histone methyltransferase. Methylates 'Lys-79' of histone H3. Nucleosomes are preferred as substrate compared to free histones. Binds to DNA.

Catalytic activity

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

Subunit structure

Interacts with MLLT10. Ref.5 Ref.12

Subcellular location

Nucleus Probable.

Miscellaneous

In contrast to other lysine histone methyltransferase, 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.

Sequence caution

The sequence AAC08316.1 differs from that shown. Reason: Erroneous gene model prediction.
