    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

    basic FUNCTION
  • histone methyltransferase, acting as a putative tumor suppressor
  • transcriptional regulation during neuronal differentiation
  • involved in B cell differentiation and the development of B cell lymphomas

    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)
  • cell & other
