Biological function summary
EHMT1/GLP plays a critical role in cellular processes such as development and differentiation. It forms a complex with G9a another histone methyltransferase to facilitate these functions. This complex cooperates in controlling gene silencing and the preservation of cellular identity. Such complex mechanisms lead to alterations in gene expression patterns that are essential for normal cellular operation.
Pathways
The methylation activity of EHMT1/GLP participates in the epigenetic regulation pathway and chromatin remodeling pathways. Within these pathways it interacts closely with proteins like HP1 which binds to methylated histones to promote gene silencing. The connections with pathways that influence gene expression affirm its role in maintaining cellular processes like proliferation and embryonic development.

General info
Function
Histone methyltransferase that specifically mono- and dimethylates 'Lys-9' of histone H3 (H3K9me1 and H3K9me2, respectively) in euchromatin. H3K9me represents a specific tag for epigenetic transcriptional repression by recruiting HP1 proteins to methylated histones. Also weakly methylates 'Lys-27' of histone H3 (H3K27me). Also required for DNA methylation, the histone methyltransferase activity is not required for DNA methylation, suggesting that these 2 activities function independently. Probably targeted to histone H3 by different DNA-binding proteins like E2F6, MGA, MAX and/or DP1. During G0 phase, it probably contributes to silencing of MYC- and E2F-responsive genes, suggesting a role in G0/G1 transition in cell cycle. In addition to the histone methyltransferase activity, also methylates non-histone proteins : mediates dimethylation of 'Lys-373' of p53/TP53. Represses the expression of mitochondrial function-related genes, perhaps by occupying their promoter regions, working in concert with probable chromatin reader BAZ2B (By similarity).
