Summary: Enables RNA binding activity and histone methyltransferase activity (H3-K36 specific). Involved in several processes, including regulation of histone acetylation; regulation of nucleobase-containing compound metabolic process; and transcription, DNA-templated. Located in cytosol and nucleus. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including Sotos syndrome (multiple); Wolf-Hirschhorn syndrome; carcinoma (multiple); gastrointestinal system cancer (multiple); and myeloid leukemia (multiple). Orthologous to several human genes including NSD1 (nuclear receptor binding SET domain protein 1); NSD2 (nuclear receptor binding SET domain protein 2); and NSD3 (nuclear receptor binding SET domain protein 3).

Preferred Names: histone methyltransferase SET2

NP_012367.2

EC 2.1.1.359

Histone methyltransferase with a role in transcriptional elongation; methylates H3 lysine 36 (H3K36), which suppresses incorporation of acetylated histones and signals for their deacetylation within transcribed genes; involved in transcription coupled-nucleotide excision repair; associates with C-terminal domain (CTD) of Rpo21p; H3K36me3 (trimethylation) requires Spt6p, proline 38 on H3, CTD of Rpo21p, Ctk1p, and C-terminal SRI domain of Ste2p; relocalizes to cytosol in response to hypoxia
