KMT2A

This gene encodes a transcriptional coactivator that plays an essential role in regulating gene expression during early development and hematopoiesis. The encoded protein contains multiple conserved functional domains. One of these domains, the SET domain, is responsible for its histone H3 lysine 4 (H3K4) methyltransferase activity which mediates chromatin modifications associated with epigenetic transcriptional activation. This protein is processed by the enzyme Taspase 1 into two fragments, MLL-C and MLL-N. These fragments reassociate and further assemble into different multiprotein complexes that regulate the transcription of specific target genes, including many of the HOX genes. Multiple chromosomal translocations involving this gene are the cause of certain acute lymphoid leukemias and acute myeloid leukemias. Alternate splicing results in multiple transcript variants.[provided by RefSeq, Oct 2010]

Interaction

MLL cleavage product N320 heterodimerizes with MLL cleavage product C180 (via SET and FYRC domains). Component of some MLL1/MLL complex, at least composed of the core components KMT2A/MLL1, ASH2L, HCFC1/HCF1, HCFC2, WDR5, DPY30 and RBBP5, as well as the facultative components BAP18, CHD8, E2F6, HSP70, INO80C, KANSL1, LAS1L, MAX, MCRS1, MEN1, MGA, KAT8/MOF, PELP1, PHF20, PRP31, RING2, RUVB1/TIP49A, RUVB2/TIP49B, SENP3, TAF1, TAF4, TAF6, TAF7, TAF9 and TEX10 (PubMed:15199122, PubMed:15960975, PubMed:17500065, PubMed:19556245, PubMed:23508102, PubMed:19187761, PubMed:26886794). Forms a core complex with the evolutionary conserved subcomplex WRAD composed of WDR5, RBBP5, ASH2L/ASH2 and DPY30 subunits; WRAD differentially stimulates the methyltransferase activity (PubMed:25561738). Interacts (via WIN motif) with WDR5; the interaction is direct (PubMed:19556245, PubMed:18829459, PubMed:22665483, PubMed:18840606). Interaction with WDR5 is required for stable interaction with ASH2L and RBBP5, and thereby also for optimal histone methyltransferase activity (PubMed:26886794). Interacts with KAT8/MOF; the interaction is direct (PubMed:15960975). Interacts with SBF1 and PPP1R15A (PubMed:9537414, PubMed:10490642). Interacts with ZNF335 (PubMed:23178126). Interacts with CLOCK and ARNTL/BMAL1 in a circadian manner (By similarity). Interacts with PPIE; this results in decreased histone H3 methyltransferase activity (PubMed:20677832, PubMed:20541251). Interacts with CREBBP (PubMed:16253272). Interacts with the WRAD complex composed of WDR5, RBBP5, ASH2L and DPY30 (PubMed:22665483). Interacts (via MBM motif) with MEN1 (PubMed:22936661, PubMed:22327296, PubMed:25305204). Interacts (via IBM motifs) with PSIP1 (via IBD domain) with moderate affinity whereas the KMT2A-MEN1 complex interacts with a greater affinity; MEN1 enhances interaction of KMT2A with PSIP1 (PubMed:22327296, PubMed:25305204, PubMed:25082813, PubMed:29997176). Phosphorylation increases its affinity for PSIP1 (PubMed:29997176). Forms a complex with CREBBP and CREB1 (PubMed:23651431).
