Abstract Histone methylation is one of the main epigenetic mechanisms by which methyl groups are dynamically added to the lysine and arginine residues of histone tails in nucleosomes. This process is catalyzed b

4.1.1 SET domain family According to the type of catalytic domain, histone lysine methyltransferases are divided into two groups, including the SET-domain family and DOT1-like (DOT1L) lysine methyltransferase [23]. The SET domain family is a group of proteins with methyltransferase activity on ...
lysine methyltransferases that contain the SET domain and lysine methyltransferases that do not contain the SET domain, such as DOT1L. The SET domain lysine methyltransferases are further divided into several families: H3K4 KMTs (MLL1, MLL2, MLL3, MLL4, SET1A/SETD1A, and SET1B/SETD1B), ...
Here we identify the histone H3 lysine 36 (H3K36) methyltransferase NSD3, the gene for which is located in the 8p11–12 amplicon, as a key regulator of LUSC tumorigenesis. In contrast to other 8p11–12 candidate LUSC drivers, increased expression of NSD3 correlated strongly with its gene ...
and Dpy-30 histone methyltransferase complex regulatory subunit (DPY30)12. In the presence of WRADs, MLL1 and MLL2 catalyze H3K4me1/2/3, whereas MLL3 and MLL4 catalyze H3K4me1/21,12,13,14. SETD1A and SETD1B can catalyze H3K4me1/2/3. SET and MYND domain containing 1 (SMYD1/KMT...
In mammals, H3K4 methylation is mainly modifi- cated by methyltransferases of the histone-lysine N-methyltransferase 2 (KMT2) family, also known as mixed-lineage leukaemia (MLL) family. The family con- sists of six members: KMT2A (MLL1), KMT2B (MLL2), KMT2C (MLL3), KMT2D (MLL4),...
Dotted lines represent the N terminus of the recombinant constructs used in this study, beginning with the residues noted above each construct. c, comparison of histone methyltransferase activity among human SET1 family SET domains.
