PHYSICAL PROPERTIES

STRUCTURE

motifs/domains	a PR/SET motif at its N-terminus (AA 30
	140)
	eight zinc finger motifs
	Krüppel-like with the PRD domain (PRD1-BF1-RIZ1), lacking in RIZ2, leucine zipper, GTPase, SH3 and pRB domains
	a PR binding domain in the C terminal region, flexible, similar to SET domains, mediating interactions or oligomerization, and involved in methylation of H3
	a SET domain

HOMOLOGY

interspecies

homolog to murine Prdm2

Homologene

FAMILY	nuclear histone/ protein methyltransferase superfamily
	PR-domain protein family

CATEGORY

enzyme , transcription factor

SUBCELLULAR LOCALIZATION	intracellular

INTERACTION

DNA

RNA

small molecule	metal binding,
	Zn2+

protein	RIZ interacting
	associate with promoter regions of IGF1 and increase histone H3 lysine 9 methylation (may contribute to potential CML tumor suppressor properties of PRDM2
	interacting with YY1 (coexpression of PRDM2/YY1 proteins suggests a tandem regulatory mechanism in human osteosarcoma cells and tissues)
