Biological function summary
The methyltransferase SETDB1 impacts chromatin structure and gene silencing. It operates as a part of the histone methylation complex collaborating with co-factors like ATF7IP and MBD1 to achieve highly specific gene repression. By catalyzing trimethylation of H3K9 it creates a binding site for HP1 proteins facilitating the formation of heterochromatin. This action is essential for processes such as X-chromosome inactivation and the repression of transposable elements.
Pathways
Regulation through SETDB1 influences key biological processes. This enzyme is integral to the PRC2 (Polycomb Repressive Complex 2) pathway maintaining transcriptional silencing during development. Furthermore SETDB1 works alongside SUV39H1 in dynamic change of heterochromatin states regulating genes involved in cell cycle and differentiation. Such pathways highlight its significant interactions with proteins like EZH2 and EED which assist in maintaining stable gene silencing.

General info
Function
Histone methyltransferase that specifically trimethylates 'Lys-9' of histone H3. H3 'Lys-9' trimethylation represents a specific tag for epigenetic transcriptional repression by recruiting HP1 (CBX1, CBX3 and/or CBX5) proteins to methylated histones. Mainly functions in euchromatin regions, thereby playing a central role in the silencing of euchromatic genes. H3 'Lys-9' trimethylation is coordinated with DNA methylation (PubMed : 12869583, PubMed : 27237050, PubMed : 39096901). Required for HUSH-mediated heterochromatin formation and gene silencing. Forms a complex with MBD1 and ATF7IP that represses transcription and couples DNA methylation and histone 'Lys-9' trimethylation (PubMed : 14536086, PubMed : 27732843). Its activity is dependent on MBD1 and is heritably maintained through DNA replication by being recruited by CAF-1 (PubMed : 14536086). SETDB1 is targeted to histone H3 by TRIM28/TIF1B, a factor recruited by KRAB zinc-finger proteins. Probably forms a corepressor complex required for activated KRAS-mediated promoter hypermethylation and transcriptional silencing of tumor suppressor genes (TSGs) or other tumor-related genes in colorectal cancer (CRC) cells (PubMed : 24623306). Required to maintain a transcriptionally repressive state of genes in undifferentiated embryonic stem cells (ESCs) (PubMed : 24623306). In ESCs, in collaboration with TRIM28, is also required for H3K9me3 and silencing of endogenous and introduced retroviruses in a DNA-methylation independent-pathway (By similarity). Associates at promoter regions of tumor suppressor genes (TSGs) leading to their gene silencing (PubMed : 24623306). The SETDB1-TRIM28-ZNF274 complex may play a role in recruiting ATRX to the 3'-exons of zinc-finger coding genes with atypical chromatin signatures to establish or maintain/protect H3K9me3 at these transcriptionally active regions (PubMed : 27029610).
Sequence similarities
Belongs to the class V-like SAM-binding methyltransferase superfamily. Histone-lysine methyltransferase family. Suvar3-9 subfamily.
Post-translational modifications
Degraded by the proteasome, shielded by interaction with ATF7IP.. Monoubiquitinated at Lys-867 by E2 enzymes of the UBE2E family. The conjugated-Ub is protected from deubiquitination by the SET domain. Monoubiquitination at Lys-867 is required for catalytic activity, H3K9 methylation and endogenous retrovirus silencing.
