    text strongly associated to pericentric heterochromatin (Souza 2009)
    basic FUNCTION
  • histone methyltransferases activity (Schotta 2004)
  • may be recruited to heterochromatin in association with CBX1, CBX3, CBX5, and stably maintained at its heterochromatin sites in an CBX-independent fashion (Souza 2009)
  • KMT5B, KMT5C differ substantially in their localization and activity
  • can induce a transition from H4K20me1 to H4K20me3 in regions of constitutive heterochromatin that is sufficient to enhance myogenic differentiation, suggesting it can act an as epigenetic 'switch' in this process
  • KMT5B, KMT5C are two highly homologous enzymes that methylate lysine 20 of histone H4 (H4K20), a mark that has been implicated in transcriptional regulation
  • is required for matrix mineralization during osteoblast differentiation, and controls the H4K20 methylome of osteoblasts and is critical for normal progression of osteoblastogenesis
