Function

Protein-lysine N-methyltransferase that monomethylates both histones and non-histone proteins (PubMed:12086618, PubMed:12121615, PubMed:15964846, PubMed:17707234, PubMed:27338793). Specifically monomethylates 'Lys-20' of histone H4 (H4K20me1) (PubMed:12086618, PubMed:12121615, PubMed:15200950, PubMed:15933069, PubMed:15933070, PubMed:15964846, PubMed:16517599, PubMed:27338793). H4K20me1 is enriched during mitosis and represents a specific tag for epigenetic transcriptional repression (PubMed:12086618, PubMed:12121615, PubMed:15200950, PubMed:15933069, PubMed:15933070, PubMed:15964846, PubMed:16517599). Mainly functions in euchromatin regions, thereby playing a central role in the silencing of euchromatic genes (PubMed:12086618, PubMed:12121615, PubMed:15200950, PubMed:15933069, PubMed:15933070, PubMed:15964846, PubMed:16517599). Required for cell proliferation, probably by contributing to the maintenance of proper higher-order structure of DNA during mitosis (PubMed:12086618, PubMed:12121615, PubMed:15200950, PubMed:15933069, PubMed:15933070, PubMed:15964846, PubMed:16517599). Involved in chromosome condensation and proper cytokinesis (PubMed:12086618, PubMed:12121615, PubMed:15200950, PubMed:15933069, PubMed:15933070, PubMed:15964846, PubMed:16517599). Nucleosomes are preferred as substrate compared to free histones (PubMed:12086618, PubMed:12121615, PubMed:15200950, PubMed:15933069, PubMed:15933070, PubMed:15964846, PubMed:16517599). Mediates monomethylation of p53/TP53 at 'Lys-382', leading to repress p53/TP53-target genes (PubMed:17707234). Plays a negative role in TGF-beta response regulation and a positive role in cell migration (PubMed:23478445).

Activity summary

KMT5A also known as SETD8 or Pr-SET7 is a histone methyltransferase enzyme with a notable role in regulating chromatin dynamics. It specifically catalyzes the monomethylation of histone H4 at lysine 20 (H4K20me1) a modification linked to chromatin compaction and DNA damage response. The molecular mass of KMT5A is approximately 47 kDa. Expression of KMT5A is observed in various tissues including the liver kidney and to some extent in embryonic stem cells indicating its functionality across different stages of development and cell types.

Biological function summary

KMT5A's activity influences several essential cellular processes such as cell cycle progression and DNA repair. As part of a larger chromatin-modulating framework it often functions alongside other chromatin-associated proteins including those from the Polycomb group. It plays a significant role in maintaining genomic stability by marking specific regions of chromatin for certain functions thereby affecting transcription regulation and cellular growth.

Pathways

KMT5A integrates into critical biological mechanisms like the DNA damage response and cell cycle regulation. It links closely with pathways involving p53 and cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK) inhibitors. KMT5A’s histone modification activity influences proteins such as p21 and p16 within the DNA damage signaling network. Its regulatory role here is essential as it facilitates an environment conducive to the DNA repair machinery following genotoxic stress.

Associated diseases and disorders

KMT5A connects to various pathological states notably cancer and neurodegenerative disorders. Misregulation of KMT5A activity is associated with tumorigenesis where altered levels of H4K20me1 can lead to abnormal cell proliferation. Additionally KMT5A interacts through pathways tied to protein like TP53 influencing cellular responses to stressors typically seen in oncogenesis. Similarly aberrant regulation has implications in cognitive impairments potentially through dysregulated methylation patterns affecting neuronal cell cycle re-entry.
