    PHYSICAL PROPERTIES
    STRUCTURE
    motifs/domains
  • two N-terminal domains: a SET enzymatic domain (aa 282–445), which is predicted to be inactive, and a Zn-finger PHD domain (aa 120–165)
  • a PHD finger domain, a protein module that is often involved in binding to the N-terminus of histone H3, that may potentially guide the spreading or further methylation of this site on chromatin
  • conjugated MetalloP

    basic FUNCTION
  • involved in chromatin organization and chromatin-mediated transcriptional regulation by protein association
  • Trx-G gene that might modulate transcription by protein association
  • plays an integral role in novel chromatin regulatory mechanisms that suppress inappropriate expression of S-phase-promoting genes and maintain expression of determination genes in quiescent cells (Sebastian 2009)
  • plays a vital role in regulating post-translational histone methylation of histone 3 on lysine 4 (H3K4)
  • histone methyltransferase that plays a key role in hematopoiesis, spermatogenesis and cell cycle progression
  • play vital roles in cell cycle progression and the maintenance of genomic stability
  • preserves spindle bipolarity through maintaining cytosolic PLK1 in a nonaggregated form
  • play key roles in diverse biological processes, including cell cycle progression, genomic stability maintenance, adult hematopoiesis, and spermatogenesis
  • CELLULAR PROCESS nucleotide, transcription, regulation

    protein
  • is a novel cellular target of CDK1, and the phosphorylation of KMT2E may have an indispensable role in the mitotic progression
  • SNTA1 associates with KMT2E, a regulator of MYOG expression
  • novel component in the regulation of TP53 homeostasis
  • central domain of KMT2E interacted with the C-terminus of CDCA8, and the interaction is essential to maintain the stability of CDCA8
  • can associate with the cell cycle regulator "host cell factor" (HCFC1), and regulates cell cycle progression and E2F1-responsive gene expression
  • recruited to gene-rich euchromatic regions via the interaction of its PHD with the histone mark H3K4me3
  • interaction between KMT2E and PLK1 in the cytosol that is crucial for sustaining spindle bipolarity during mitosis
  • cell & other
    REGULATION
    induced by induced in quiescent myoblasts and regulates both the cell cycle and differentiation via a hierarchy of chromatin and transcriptional regulators (Sebastian 2009)
    Phosphorylated by CDK1, and this phosphorylation is required for mitotic entry
    Other protein stability is cooperatively regulated by O-GlcNAc transferase (OGT) and ubiquitin-specific protease 7 (USP7)
