KMT2C also known as MLL3 is a histone methyltransferase enzyme. Its mass is approximately 553 kDa. This protein exists in various tissues but expresses highly in the brain and bone marrow. It is part of the SET1 family of methyltransferases and plays an important role in modifying chromatin architecture by catalyzing the methylation of histone H3 lysine 4 (H3K4) a modification associated with active transcription.
Biological function summary
KMT2C impacts diverse cellular functions through its participation in the COMPASS-like complex which acetylates histone tails to regulate gene expression. This function is important in controlling genes linked to development and differentiation. KMT2C also supports the maintenance of genomic stability. Mutations in this protein often disrupt important brain and immune processes implicating its importance in physiological conditions.
Pathways
KMT2C plays a vital role in the Wnt and Hedgehog signaling pathways. These pathways regulate embryonic development cell fate decisions and cellular proliferation. Interaction with proteins such as β-catenin and GLI3 links KMT2C with the transcriptional activation of target genes further extending its influence on gene expression regulation and developmental processes.
Mutations or dysregulation of KMT2C are linked to cancers and Kabuki syndrome. In cancers KMT2C often exhibits loss-of-function mutations impacting tumor suppressor capabilities. In Kabuki syndrome alterations in KMT2C disrupt developmental signaling manifesting in intellectual disabilities and characteristic facial features. Interactions with proteins like EZH2 and KDM6A suggest KMT2C's critical involvement in disease pathogenesis and potential pathways for therapeutic intervention.
