Histone-lysine N-methyltransferase SETD7

SET9 is a histone methyltransferase containing a SET domain and it specifically catalyses monomethylation of H3K4 (PMID: 11850410, PMID: 12540855). SET7 is known to regulate DNA methyltransferase (DNMT1) by methylating it (PMID: 19282482). SET9 is reported to regulate the expression of p53-target genes via methylation of p53 (PMID: 15525938). SET9 is shown to influence DNA damage induced apoptosis by regulating E2F1 via methylation in p53 deficient tumour cell lines (PMID: 20603083). SET9 also regulates NF-kB by post translational methylation of targets like p65 and RelA (PMID: 19864627, PMID: 19262565).
