Entrez Gene summary for EHMT1 Gene:

The protein encoded by this gene is a histone methyltransferase that is part of the E2F6 complex, which represses

transcription. The encoded protein methylates the Lys-9 position of histone H3, which tags it for transcriptional

repression. This protein may be involved in the silencing of MYC- and E2F-responsive genes and therefore could

play a role in the G0/G1 cell cycle transition. Defects in this gene are a cause of chromosome 9q subtelomeric

deletion syndrome (9q-syndrome). Two transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this

gene. (provided by RefSeq, Mar 2009)

GeneCards Summary for EHMT1 Gene:

EHMT1 (euchromatic histone-lysine N-methyltransferase 1) is a protein-coding gene. Diseases associated with EHMT1 include kleefstra syndrome, and kleefstra syndrome due to 9q34 microdeletion. GO annotations related to this gene include methyltransferase activity and histone-lysine N-methyltransferase activity. An important paralog of this gene is NSD1.

UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot: EHMT1_HUMAN, Q9H9B1

Function: Histone methyltransferase that specifically mono- and dimethylates 'Lys-9' of histone H3 (H3K9me1 and

H3K9me2, respectively) in euchromatin. H3K9me represents a specific tag for epigenetic transcriptional repression

by recruiting HP1 proteins to methylated histones. Also weakly methylates 'Lys-27' of histone H3 (H3K27me). Also

required for DNA methylation, the histone methyltransferase activity is not required for DNA methylation,

suggesting that these 2 activities function independently. Probably targeted to histone H3 by different

DNA-binding proteins like E2F6, MGA, MAX and/or DP1. During G0 phase, it probably contributes to silencing of

MYC- and E2F-responsive genes, suggesting a role in G0/G1 transition in cell cycle. In addition to the histone

methyltransferase activity, also methylates non-histone proteins: mediates dimethylation of 'Lys-373' of p53/TP53

summary for EHMT1 Gene:

Histone methyltransferases (HMTs) are a group of enyzmes that catalyze the transfer of methyl groups from

S-adenosylmethionine (SAM) to histones and are closely related in biological activity to the DNA

methyltransferases. Histone methylation occurs predominantly on the side chains of lysine and arginine

residues in histones H3 and H4, and multiple methyl groups may be added to each residue. Histone

methyltransferases can be subdivided according to their target residue: those which methylate lysine

residues on histone proteins are known as protein lysine methyltransferases (PKMTs) whereas those acting on

arginine residues are known as protein arginine methyltransferases (PRMTs).
