High impact information on SETDB1

 

Biological context of SETDB1

  • Our data suggest a model in which H3-K9 methylation by SETDB1 is dependent on MBD1 and is heritably maintained through DNA replication to support the formation of stable heterochromatin at methylated DNA [3].
  • We mapped this gene, called SETDB1, to human chromosome 1q21 [5].
  • In vivo targeting of an enhanced green fluorescent protein-tagged HP1-lac repressor fusion to a lac operator-containing, gene-amplified chromosome region causes local condensation of the higher-order chromatin structure, recruitment of the histone methyltransferase SETDB1, and enhanced trimethylation of histone H3 lysine 9 [6].
  • Co-expression of SETDB1 and DNMT3A was essential for repression of reporter gene expression in a Gal4-based tethering assay and resulted in their recruitment to the artificial promoter [7].
  • We recently identified an ERG ( ets -related gene)-associated protein with a SET (suppressor of variegation, enhancer of zest and trithorax) domain (ESET) that was found to have the activity of a histone H3-specific methyltransferase [8].
 

Anatomical context of SETDB1

  • Furthermore, MCAF1 enhances transcriptional repression by MBD1 together with SETDB1, and exogenous expression of MCAF2 partly compensates for the repressive activity in MCAF1 knockdown HeLa cells [9].
 

Other interactions of SETDB1

  • This region is targeted by a large number of recurrent translocations, suggesting that like the SET domain protein MLL, mutant forms of SETDB1 may be associated with human neoplasias [5].
  • The interaction of SETDB1 with DNMT3A was further characterized and confirmed by in vivo and in vitro interaction studies [7].
  • Although sumoylated MBD1 binds to methylated DNA, it does not incorporate into a complex with SETDB1 and does not efficiently repress transcription of a target gene, p53BP2, in HeLa cells [10].
