IUBMB CommentsThis entry describes several enzymes that successively methylate the L-lysine4 residue of histone H3 (H3K4), ultimately generating a trimethylated form. These modifications influence the binding of chromatin-associated proteins. In most cases the trimethylation of this position is associated with gene activation. EC 2.1.1.364, [histone H3]-lysine4 N-methyltransferase, describes enzymes that can catalyse only monomethylation of this substrate (the first sub-reaction of this entry); EC 2.1.1.370, [histone H3]-lysine4 N-dimethyltransferase, describes enzymes that catalyse only dimethylation of this substrate (the first two sub-reactions of this entry)

malfunction
enzyme knockout spontaneously induces medulloblastoma. Enzyme loss upregulates oncogenic Ras and Notch pathways while downregulating neuronal gene expression programs. Enzyme loss downregulates tumor suppressor genes (e.g., Dnmt3a and Bcl6). Enzyme loss increases cell proliferation in the cerebellum but negatively impacts cerebellar neurons
metabolism
the enzyme indirectly downregulates Ras activators by enhancing DNMT3A-mediated DNA methylation. The enzyme indirectly antagonizes Notch pathway components (e.g., Hes1 and Jag1) by upregulating SIRT1/BCL6-mediated H4K16 deacetylation
physiological function
isoform KMT2D functions as a bona fide tumor suppressor and its genetic ablation in B cells promotes lymphoma development in mice. KMT2D deficiency also delays germinal center involution and impedes B cell differentiation and class switch recombination. KMT2D affects methylation of lysine 4 on histone H3 (H3K4) and expression of a set of genes, including those in the CD40, JAK-STAT, Toll-like receptor and B cell receptor signaling pathways. Other KMT2D target genes include frequently mutated tumor suppressor genes such as TNFAIP3, SOCS3 and TNFRSF14

-
targeted inactivation of MLL3 H3K4 methyltransferase activity in the mouse causes ureter epithelial tumors, about 50% of MLL-deficient mice display unusual hyperproliferation and tumors in the innermost layer of ureter cells located close to the renal pelvis
malfunction
-
Mll1 knockout is embryonic lethal and affects development of the hematopoietic system. Germ-line deletions of Mll2 result in delayed development early in embryogenesis, neural tube defects and widespread apoptosis. Knockdown of Mll3 or knockout of Mll4 in hematopoietic stem/multipotent progenitor cells (HSPCs) results in impaired differentiation of HSPCs and increased HSPC numbers. Erythroid-specific Setd1a deletion partially blocked erythropoiesis, resulting in mild anemia
