SET domain (including SET domain and post-SET domain) found in SET and MYND domain-containing protein, and similar proteins The family includes SET and MYND domain-containing proteins, SMYD1-SYMD5. SMYD1 (EC 2.1.1.43; also termed BOP) is a heart and muscle specific SET-MYND domain containing protein, which functions as a histone methyltransferase and regulates downstream gene transcription. It methylates histone H3 at 'Lys-4' (H3K4me), seems able to perform both mono-, di-, and trimethylation. SMYD2 (also termed HSKM-B, or lysine N-methyltransferase 3C (KMT3C)) functions as a histone methyltransferase that methylates both histones and non-histone proteins, including p53/TP53 and RB1. It specifically methylates histone H3 'Lys-4' (H3K4me) and dimethylates histone H3 'Lys-36' (H3K36me2). SMYD3 (also termed zinc finger MYND domain-containing protein 1) functions as a histone methyltransferase that specifically methylates 'Lys-4' of histone H3, inducing di- and tri-methylation, but not monomethylation. It also methylates 'Lys-5' of histone H4. SMYD3 plays an important role in transcriptional activation as a member of an RNA polymerase complex. SMYD4 functions as a potential tumor suppressor that plays a critical role in breast carcinogenesis at least partly through inhibiting the expression of PDGFR-alpha. SMYD5 (also termed protein NN8-4AG, or retinoic acid-induced protein 15) functions as histone lysine methyltransferase that mediates H4K20me3 at heterochromatin regions. |
