YBR034C (HMT1)

saccharomyces cerevisiae

Nuclear SAM-dependent mono- and asymmetric methyltransferase; modifies hnRNPs, including Npl3p and Hrp1p, affecting their activity and nuclear export; methylates U1 snRNP protein Snp1p, ribosomal protein Rps2p, and histones H3 and H4; interacts genetically with genes encoding components of Rpd3(L) and this interaction is important for Rpd3 recruitment to the subtelomeric region
