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## Gencode Transcript: ENST00000301067.12 Gencode Gene: ENSG00000167548.18 Transcript (Including UTRs) Position: hg38 chr12:49,018,978-49,060,794 Size: 41,817 Total Exon Count: 55 Strand: - Coding Region Position: hg38 chr12:49,021,780-49,055,324 Size: 33,545 Coding Exon Count: 54
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.
The RNAfold program from the Vienna RNA Package is used to perform the secondary structure predictions and folding calculations. The estimated folding energy is in kcal/mol. The more negative the energy, the more secondary structure the RNA is likely to have.

The pictures above may be empty if there is no ModBase structure for the protein. The ModBase structure frequently covers just a fragment of the protein. You may be asked to log onto ModBase the first time you click on the pictures. It is simplest after logging in to just click on the picture again to get to the specific info on that model.
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.
