| Function: | Protein-lysine N-methyltransferase that monomethylates both histones and non-histone proteins. Specifically monomethylates 'Lys-20' of histone H4 (H4K20me1). H4K20me1 is enriched during mitosis and represents a specific tag for epigenetic transcriptional repression. Mainly functions in euchromatin regions, thereby playing a central role in the silencing of euchromatic genes. Required for cell proliferation, probably by contributing to the maintenance of proper higher-order structure of DNA during mitosis. Involved in chromosome condensation and proper cytokinesis. Nucleosomes are preferred as substrate compared to free histones. Mediates monomethylation of p53/TP53 at 'Lys-382', leading to repress p53/TP53-target genes. Plays a negative role in TGF- beta response regulation and a positive role in cell migration. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:12086618, ECO:0000269|PubMed:12121615, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15200950, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15933069, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15933070, ECO:0000269|PubMed:16517599, ECO:0000269|PubMed:17707234, ECO:0000269|PubMed:23478445}. | |

| Subunit: | Interacts with L3MBTL1. Isoform 2 interacts with SIRT2 (phosphorylated form); the interaction is direct, stimulates KMT5A- mediated methyltransferase activity at histone H4 'Lys-20' (H4K20me1) and is increased in a H(2)O(2)-induced oxidative stress-dependent manner. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:15933069, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15933070, ECO:0000269|PubMed:18408754, ECO:0000269|PubMed:23468428}. | |
| Subcellular location: | Nucleus. Chromosome. Note=Specifically localizes to mitotic chromosomes. Colocalized with SIRT2 at mitotic foci. Associates with chromosomes during mitosis; association is increased in a H(2)O(2)-induced oxidative stress-dependent manner. Associates with silent chromatin on euchromatic arms. Not associated with constitutive heterochromatin. | |
| Developmental stage: | Not detected during G1 phase. First detected during S through G2 phases, and peaks during mitosis (at protein level). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:12208845}. | |
| Induction: | By HCFC1 C-terminal chain, independently of HCFC1 N-terminal chain. Transiently induced by TGF-beta and during the cell cycle. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:15200950, ECO:0000269|PubMed:23478445}. | |
| Domain: | Although the SET domain contains the active site of enzymatic activity, both sequences upstream and downstream of the SET domain are required for methyltransferase activity. | |
| Ptm: | Acetylated at Lys-172; does not change methyltransferase activity. Deacetylated at Lys-172 by SIRT2; does not change methyltransferase activity. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:23468428}. | |
| Ptm: | Ubiquitinated and degraded by the DCX(DTL) complex. {ECO:0000305|PubMed:23478445}. | |
| Similarity: | Belongs to the class V-like SAM-binding methyltransferase superfamily. Histone-lysine methyltransferase family. PR/SET subfamily. {ECO:0000255|PROSITE-ProRule:PRU00904}. | |
| Sequence caution: | Sequence=AAL40879.1; Type=Erroneous initiation; Note=Truncated N-terminus.; Evidence={ECO:0000305}; | |
