| Taxonomy: | Eukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi; Mammalia; Eutheria; Euarchontoglires; Primates; Haplorrhini; Catarrhini; Hominidae; Homo. | |
| Function: | Histone methyltransferase specifically trimethylating 'Lys- 36' of histone H3 forming H3K36me3 (PubMed:21239497). Also monomethylates 'Lys-9' of histone H3 (H3K9me1) in vitro (By similarity). The physiological significance of the H3K9me1 activity is unclear (By similarity). {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q99MY8, ECO:0000269|PubMed:21239497}. | |
| Catalytic activity: | Reaction=L-lysyl(36)-[histone H3] + 3 S-adenosyl-L-methionine = 3 H(+) + N(6),N(6),N(6)-trimethyl-L-lysyl(36)-[histone H3] + 3 S-adenosyl-L- homocysteine; Xref=Rhea:RHEA:60324, Rhea:RHEA-COMP:9785, Rhea:RHEA- COMP:15536, ChEBI:CHEBI:15378, ChEBI:CHEBI:29969, ChEBI:CHEBI:57856, ChEBI:CHEBI:59789, ChEBI:CHEBI:61961; EC=2.1.1.359; Evidence={ECO:0000269|PubMed:21239497}; | |
| Catalytic activity: | Reaction=L-lysyl(9)-[histone H3] + S-adenosyl-L-methionine = H(+) + N(6)-methyl-L-lysyl(9)-[histone H3] + S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine; Xref=Rhea:RHEA:60280, Rhea:RHEA-COMP:15542, Rhea:RHEA-COMP:15546, ChEBI:CHEBI:15378, ChEBI:CHEBI:29969, ChEBI:CHEBI:57856, ChEBI:CHEBI:59789, ChEBI:CHEBI:61929; EC=2.1.1.367; Evidence={ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q99MY8}; | |
| Subcellular location: | Nucleus {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10860993}. Cell junction, tight junction {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10860993}. Chromosome {ECO:0000305|PubMed:10860993}. Note=The relevance of tight junction localization is however unclear. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10860993}. | |
| Tissue specificity: | Widely expressed, with highest level in brain, heart and kidney. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10860993}. | |
| Ptm: | Methylated at Gln-1220 by N6AMT1. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:26797129}. | |
| Disease: | Mental retardation, autosomal dominant 52 (MRD52) [MIM:617796]: A form of mental retardation, a disorder characterized by significantly below average general intellectual functioning associated with impairments in adaptive behavior and manifested during the developmental period. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:23033978, ECO:0000269|PubMed:27824329, ECO:0000269|PubMed:28191889, ECO:0000269|PubMed:28394464}. Note=The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry. | |
| Similarity: | Belongs to the class V-like SAM-binding methyltransferase superfamily. Histone-lysine methyltransferase family. SET2 subfamily. {ECO:0000255|PROSITE-ProRule:PRU00190}. | |
| Sequence caution: | Sequence=BAA92658.1; Type=Erroneous initiation; Note=Extended N-terminus.; Evidence={ECO:0000305}; | |
