| UniProt functional annotation for Q8TEK3 | |||
| UniProt code: Q8TEK3. |
| Organism: | Homo sapiens (Human). | |
| Taxonomy: | Eukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi; Mammalia; Eutheria; Euarchontoglires; Primates; Haplorrhini; Catarrhini; Hominidae; Homo. | |
| Function: | Histone methyltransferase. Methylates 'Lys-79' of histone H3. Nucleosomes are preferred as substrate compared to free histones (PubMed:12123582). Binds to DNA (PubMed:12628190). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:12123582, ECO:0000269|PubMed:12628190}. | |
| Catalytic activity: | Reaction=L-lysyl(79)-[histone H3] + 3 S-adenosyl-L-methionine = 3 H(+) + N(6),N(6),N(6)-trimethyl-L-lysyl(79)-[histone H3] + 3 S-adenosyl-L- homocysteine; Xref=Rhea:RHEA:60328, Rhea:RHEA-COMP:15549, Rhea:RHEA- COMP:15552, ChEBI:CHEBI:15378, ChEBI:CHEBI:29969, ChEBI:CHEBI:57856, ChEBI:CHEBI:59789, ChEBI:CHEBI:61961; EC=2.1.1.360; Evidence={ECO:0000255|PROSITE-ProRule:PRU00902, ECO:0000269|PubMed:12123582}; | |
| Subunit: | Interacts with MLLT10. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:12628190, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15851025}. | |
| Subcellular location: | Nucleus {ECO:0000269|PubMed:15851025}. | |
| Miscellaneous: | In contrast to other lysine histone methyltransferases, it does not contain a SET domain, suggesting the existence of another mechanism for methylation of lysine residues of histones. | |
| Similarity: | Belongs to the class I-like SAM-binding methyltransferase superfamily. DOT1 family. {ECO:0000255|PROSITE-ProRule:PRU00902}. | |
| Sequence caution: | Sequence=AAC08316.1; Type=Erroneous gene model prediction; Evidence={ECO:0000305}; | |
