Histone-lysine N-methyltransferase SETD7, also known as SET domain containing (lysine methyltransferase) 7, SET7/9, Histone H3-K4 methyltransferase SETD7, H3-K4-HMTase SETD7, and SETD7, is a member of thehistone-lysine methyltransferase family and SET7 subfamily. SETD7 is widely expressed and expressed in pancreatic islets. SETD7 contains three MORN repeats and one SET domain. SETD7 plays a central role in the transcriptional activation of genes such as collagenase or insulin. As a protein lysine methyltransferase (PKMT), SETD7 also has methyltransferase activity toward non-histone proteins such as p53/TP53, TAF10, and possibly TAF7 by recognizing and binding in substrate proteins. The mono-methyltransferase activity of SETD7 is achieved by disrupting the formation at near-attack conformations for the dimethylation reaction. SETD7 is also a novel coactivator of NF-kappaB and plays a role in inflammation and diabetes.
