PHYSICAL PROPERTIES
STRUCTURE
motifs/domains
  • three C5HCH and four plant homeodomains (PHDs), which are implicated in chromatin regulation and are zinc finger like motifs characterized by cysteine and histidine residues
  • two PWWP (proline-2 tryptophan-proline)domains (one in N-terminus)
  • two nuclear receptor-interaction domains (NID)
  • ten putative nuclear localization signals
  • a single FSXXLXXL motif facilitates its interactions with the NR2E/F subfamily
  • several motifs, lysine methyltransferase SET domain and four zinc-binding PHD fingers, in the C-terminal half that are undoubtedly critical for its proposed functions in signaling and chromatin regulation
  • HOMOLOGY
    interspecies homolog to murine Nsd1
    Homologene
    FAMILY
  • histone-lysine methyltransferase family
  • nuclear receptor binding SET domain (NSD) protein family
  • CATEGORY regulatory , receptor nuclear
    SUBCELLULAR LOCALIZATION     intracellular
    intracellular,nucleus
    basic FUNCTION
  • SET-domain histone lysine methyltransferase, maybe acting as a nucleus-localized, basic transcriptional factor and also as a bifunctional transcriptional regulator
  • may be involved in imprinting of the chromosome 11p15 region
  • may be functioning as a bifunctional transcriptional regulator activating or repressing transcription in response to ligand binding
  • acting as a histone methyltransferase
  • involved in the regulation of gene expression through stimulating the transition of RNA polymerase II from an initiation to fully elongation-competent state
  • SET-domain histone methyltransferase that primarily di-methylates nucleosomal histone H3 lysine 36 (H3K36), through an autoregulatory mechanism
  • autoregulatory mechanism of NSD1, providing insight into the molecular mechanism of the nucleosomal substrate selectivity of this disease-related H3K36 methyltransferase
  • critical in maintaining the chromatin integrity
  • NSD1, NSD2 and NSD3, have crucial roles in chromatin regulation and are implicated in oncogenesis
  • CELLULAR PROCESS nucleotide, transcription, regulation

    INTERACTION

    RNA
    small molecule
    protein
  • interacting with ZNF496
  • CFDP1, Sec23 homolog A (SEC23A), and nuclear receptor binding SET domain protein 1 (NSD1), contain consensus GTF2I binding sites in their proximal promoters
  • binds near various promoter elements and regulates multiple genes that appear to have a concerted role in various processes, such as cell growth/cancer, keratin biology, and bone morphogenesis
  • regulates RNA polymerase II recruitment to BMP4, and failure to do so leads to reduced gene expression and abrogated levels of H3K36Me and C-terminal domain phosphorylation
  • NSD1 could bind to the promoter regions of PRB4 and activate promoter activity by reducing the binding of H3K27me2 and increasing the binding of H3K36me2 on PRB4 promoter
