Human Gene PRDM6 (ENST00000407847.5) from GENCODE V44
  Description: Homo sapiens PR/SET domain 6 (PRDM6), mRNA. (from RefSeq NM_001136239)
RefSeq Summary (NM_001136239): The protein encoded by this gene is a transcriptional repressor and a member of the PRDM family. Family members contain a PR domain and multiple zinc-finger domains. The encoded protein is involved in regulation of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMC) contractile proteins. Mutations in this gene result in patent ductus arteriosus 3 (PDA3). [provided by RefSeq, Apr 2017]. Sequence Note: The RefSeq transcript and protein were derived from genomic sequence to make the sequence consistent with the reference genome assembly. The genomic coordinates used for the transcript record were based on alignments.

  ID: PRDM6_HUMAN
DESCRIPTION: RecName: Full=Putative histone-lysine N-methyltransferase PRDM6; EC=2.1.1.43; AltName: Full=PR domain zinc finger protein 6; AltName: Full=PR domain-containing protein 6;
FUNCTION: Putative histone methyltransferase that acts as a transcriptional repressor of smooth muscle gene expression. Promotes the transition from differentiated to proliferative smooth muscle by suppressing differentiation and maintaining the proliferative potential of vascular smooth muscle cells. Also plays a role in endothelial cells by inhibiting endothelial cell proliferation, survival and differentiation. It is unclear whether it has histone methyltransferase activity in vivo. According to some authors, it does not act as a histone methyltransferase by itself and represses transcription by recruiting EHMT2/G9a. According to others, it possesses histone methyltransferase activity when associated with other proteins and specifically methylates 'Lys-20' of histone H4 in vitro. 'Lys-20' methylation represents a specific tag for epigenetic transcriptional repression (By similarity).
CATALYTIC ACTIVITY: S-adenosyl-L-methionine + L-lysine-[histone] = S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine + N(6)-methyl-L-lysine-[histone].
SUBUNIT: Interacts with HDAC1, HDAC2, HDAC3, CBX1 and EP300 (By similarity).
SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Nucleus (By similarity).
SIMILARITY: Contains 4 C2H2-type zinc fingers.
SIMILARITY: Contains 1 SET domain.
SEQUENCE CAUTION: Sequence=AAF78078.1; Type=Erroneous initiation; Sequence=AAF78079.1; Type=Erroneous initiation;

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.
