General Information | Comment | Organism |
---|---|---|
physiological function | Drosophila melanogaster SETDB1 is an H3K9 methyltransferase and a pleiotropic regulator of the fly's development. Drosophila mutants hypomorphic or null in SETDB1 expression lose most of the H3K9 methylation as well as HP1-binding on the fourth chromosome. Binding of painting of fourth (POF), a fourth chromosome-specific protein, and the SETDB1-controlled H3K9 methylation of this chromosome are interdependent. POF and dSETDB1 interact with each other in vivo. The deregulation of H3K9 methylation, HP1-binding, and POF-binding result in a global reduction of gene expression from the fourth chromosome but not the other chromosomes. Deficiency of dSETDB1 also upregulates the expression of HP1 | Drosophila melanogaster |
