    motifs/domains
  • N-terminal region playing an important role for the regulation of its methyltransferase activity and structural change through the cleavage of the region or interaction with HSP90A may be involved in the modulation
  • MYND-type zinc finger
  • a SET domain
  • C-terminal domain of SMYD3 is essential for its basal histone methyl transferase (HMTase) activity and tetratricopeptide repeat (TPR)-like structure is required for HSP90AA1-enhanced enzyme activity
  • mono polymer heteromer , complex

    basic FUNCTION
  • playing a role in transcriptional regulation, forming a complex with the RNA polymerase II
  • histone methyltransferase involved in the proliferation of cancer cells
  • could promote breast carcinogenesis by directly regulating expression of the proto-oncogene WNT10B
  • implicated in oncogenesis, and directly trans-activates the telomerase reverse transcriptase (TERT) gene that is essential for cellular immortalization and transformation
  • required for maintenance of histone H3-K4 trimethylation, there by contributing to inducible and constitutive TERT expression in normal and malignant cells
  • histone H3-lysine 4-specific methyltransferase, involved in the regulation of gene expression and DNA replication through alteration of chromatin structure
  • as a new coactivator for ER-mediated transcription, providing a possible link between SMYD3 overexpression and breast cancer
  • pivotal role for SMYD3 in the regulation of oncogenic RAS signalling
  • plays an important role in early embryonic lineage commitment and peri-implantation development through the activation of lineage-specific genes
  • transcription-potentiating function of SMYD3 is restricted to a particular set of genes, whose expression is induced specifically during carcinogenesis
  • is a SET domain-containing N-lysine methyltransferase associated with multiple cancer
  • is a kind of histone lysine methyltransferase, responsible for transcriptional activation as a member of an RNA polymerase complex
  • CELLULAR PROCESS cell life, proliferation/growth

    RNA
    small molecule metal binding,
  • Zn2+
  • protein
  • RNA polymerase II binding
  • SMYD3 functions as a coactivator of ESR1 and potentiates ESR1 activity in response to ligand
  • SMYD2, similar to SMYD3, interacts with RNA Polymerase II as well as to the RNA helicase, HELZ
  • interacting with the RNA helicase HELZ
  • SMYD3 is an important new regulator of MMP9 transcription, providing a molecular link between SMYD3 overexpression and metastatic cancer progression
  • SMYD3 modulates myostatin and MET transcription in primary skeletal muscle cells
  • methylation of MAP3K2 by SMYD3 increases MAP kinase signalling and promotes the formation of Ras-driven carcinomas
  • MAP3K2 serves as a robust substrate of SMYD3 because of the presence of a phenylalanine residue at the -2 position
  • SMYD3-mediated H2AFZ methylation promotes cell cycle and cancer proliferation
  • SMYD3-mediated methylation of AKT1 at lysine 14 is essential for AKT1 activation
  • significant role of ERBB2 methylation by protein lysine methyltransferase SMYD3 in ERBB2 homodimerization
