Set1/Ash2 histone methyltransferase complex subunit ASH2; Component of the Set1/Ash2 histone methyltransferase (HMT) complex, a complex that specifically methylates ’Lys-4’ of histone H3, but not if the neighboring ’Lys-9’ residue is already methylated. As part of the MLL1/MLL complex it is involved in methylation and dimethylation at ’Lys-4’ of histone H3. May function as a transcriptional regulator. May play a role in hematopoiesis; PHD finger proteins (628 aa)

WD repeat-containing protein 5; Contributes to histone modification. May position the N- terminus of histone H3 for efficient trimethylation at ’Lys-4’. As part of the MLL1/MLL complex it is involved in methylation and dimethylation at ’Lys-4’ of histone H3. H3 ’Lys-4’ methylation represents a specific tag for epigenetic transcriptional activation. As part of the NSL complex it may be involved in acetylation of nucleosomal histone H4 on several lysine residues. May regulate osteoblasts differentiation; Belongs to the WD repeat WDR5/wds family (334 aa)

Protein dpy-30 homolog; As part of the MLL1/MLL complex, involved in the methylation of histone H3 at ’Lys-4’, particularly trimethylation. Histone H3 ’Lys-4’ methylation represents a specific tag for epigenetic transcriptional activation. May play some role in histone H3 acetylation. In a teratocarcinoma cell, plays a crucial role in retinoic acid-induced differentiation along the neural lineage, regulating gene induction and H3 ’Lys-4’ methylation at key developmental loci. May also play an indirect or direct role in endosomal transport; Belongs to the dpy-30 family (99 aa)

WD repeat-containing protein 82; Regulatory component of the SET1 complex implicated in the tethering of this complex to transcriptional start sites of active genes. Facilitates histone H3 ’Lys-4’ methylation via recruitment of the SETD1A or SETD1B to the ’Ser-5’ phosphorylated C-terminal domain (CTD) of RNA polymerase II large subunit (POLR2A). Component of PTW/PP1 phosphatase complex, which plays a role in the control of chromatin structure and cell cycle progression during the transition from mitosis into interphase; WD repeat domain containing (313 aa)

CXXC-type zinc finger protein 1; Transcriptional activator that exhibits a unique DNA binding specificity for CpG unmethylated motifs with a preference for CpGG; PHD finger proteins (660 aa)

Histone-lysine N-methyltransferase 2E; Histone methyltransferase that specifically mono- and dimethylates ’Lys-4’ of histone H3 (H3K4me1 and H3K4me2). H3 ’Lys- 4’ methylation represents a specific tag for epigenetic transcriptional activation. Key regulator of hematopoiesis involved in terminal myeloid differentiation and in the regulation of hematopoietic stem cell (HSCs) self-renewal by a mechanism that involves DNA methylation. Plays an essential role in retinoic- acid-induced granulopoiesis by acting as a coactivator of RAR- alpha (RARA) in target gene promoters. Also acts as an im [...] (1858 aa)

Histone-lysine N-methyltransferase 2D; Histone methyltransferase. Methylates ’Lys-4’ of histone H3 (H3K4me). H3K4me represents a specific tag for epigenetic transcriptional activation. Acts as a coactivator for estrogen receptor by being recruited by ESR1, thereby activating transcription; Belongs to the class V-like SAM-binding methyltransferase superfamily. Histone-lysine methyltransferase family. TRX/MLL subfamily (5537 aa)

Host cell factor 1; Involved in control of the cell cycle. Also antagonizes transactivation by ZBTB17 and GABP2; represses ZBTB17 activation of the p15(INK4b) promoter and inhibits its ability to recruit p300. Coactivator for EGR2 and GABP2. Tethers the chromatin modifying Set1/Ash2 histone H3 ’Lys-4’ methyltransferase (H3K4me) and Sin3 histone deacetylase (HDAC) complexes (involved in the activation and repression of transcription, respectively) together. Component of a THAP1/THAP3-HCFC1-OGT complex that is required for the regulation of the transcriptional activity of RRM1. As part o [...] (2035 aa)
