Human Gene KMT2D (ENST00000301067.12) from GENCODE V44
  Description: Homo sapiens lysine methyltransferase 2D (KMT2D), mRNA. (from RefSeq NM_003482)
RefSeq Summary (NM_003482): The protein encoded by this gene is a histone methyltransferase that methylates the Lys-4 position of histone H3. The encoded protein is part of a large protein complex called ASCOM, which has been shown to be a transcriptional regulator of the beta-globin and estrogen receptor genes. Mutations in this gene have been shown to be a cause of Kabuki syndrome. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2010]. CCDS Note: The full-length exon combination of this CCDS representation is inferred. It is mostly supported by the mRNA AF010403.1, but with correction of a gap in exon 10-11, supported by the mRNA AF010404.1, and by EST, RNA-Seq and orthologous transcript alignments. ##RefSeq-Attributes-START## RefSeq Select criteria :: based on manual assertion, conservation ##RefSeq-Attributes-END##

  ID: MLL2_HUMAN
DESCRIPTION: RecName: Full=Histone-lysine N-methyltransferase MLL2; EC=2.1.1.43; AltName: Full=ALL1-related protein; AltName: Full=Lysine N-methyltransferase 2D; Short=KMT2D; AltName: Full=Myeloid/lymphoid or mixed-lineage leukemia protein 2;
FUNCTION: Histone methyltransferase. Methylates 'Lys-4' of histone H3 (H3K4me). H3K4me represents a specific tag for epigenetic transcriptional activation. Acts as a coactivator for estrogen receptor by being recruited by ESR1, thereby activating transcription.
CATALYTIC ACTIVITY: S-adenosyl-L-methionine + L-lysine-[histone] = S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine + N(6)-methyl-L-lysine-[histone].
SUBUNIT: Component of the MLL2/3 complex (also named ASCOM complex), at least composed of MLL2/ALR or MLL3, ASH2L, RBBP5, WDR5, NCOA6, DPY30, KDM6A, PAXIP1/PTIP, PAGR1 and alpha- and beta- tubulin. Interacts with ESR1; interaction is direct.
INTERACTION: P03372:ESR1; NbExp=3; IntAct=EBI-996065, EBI-78473; Q14686:NCOA6; NbExp=6; IntAct=EBI-996065, EBI-78670;
SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Nucleus (Probable).
TISSUE SPECIFICITY: Expressed in most adult tissues, including a variety of hematoipoietic cells, with the exception of the liver.
DOMAIN: LXXLL motifs 5 and 6 are essential for the association with ESR1 nuclear receptor.
PTM: Phosphorylated upon DNA damage, probably by ATM or ATR.
DISEASE: Defects in MLL2 are the cause of Kabuki syndrome type 1 (KABUK1) [MIM:147920]. A congenital mental retardation syndrome with additional features, including postnatal dwarfism, a peculiar facies characterized by long palpebral fissures with eversion of the lateral third of the lower eyelids, a broad and depressed nasal tip, large prominent earlobes, a cleft or high-arched palate, scoliosis, short fifth finger, persistence of fingerpads, radiographic abnormalities of the vertebrae, hands, and hip joints, and recurrent otitis media in infancy.
MISCELLANEOUS: This gene mapped to a chromosomal region involved in duplications and translocations associated with cancer.
SIMILARITY: Belongs to the histone-lysine methyltransferase family. TRX/MLL subfamily.
SIMILARITY: Contains 1 FYR C-terminal domain.
SIMILARITY: Contains 1 FYR N-terminal domain.
SIMILARITY: Contains 5 PHD-type zinc fingers.
SIMILARITY: Contains 1 post-SET domain.
SIMILARITY: Contains 4 RING-type zinc fingers.
SIMILARITY: Contains 1 SET domain.
CAUTION: Another protein MLL4/WBP7, located on chromosome 19, was first named MLL2 (see AC Q9UMN6). Thus, MLL4 is often referred to as MLL2 and vice versa in the literature.

-  Orthologous Genes in Other Species
  Orthologies between human, mouse, and rat are computed by taking the best BLASTP hit, and filtering out non-syntenic hits. For more distant species reciprocal-best BLASTP hits are used. Note that the absence of an ortholog in the table below may reflect incomplete annotations in the other species rather than a true absence of the orthologous gene.
