Summary

ASH2L (ASH2 like, histone lysine methyltransferase complex subunit, HGNC:744) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 8p11.23, encoding Set1/Ash2 histone methyltransferase complex subunit ASH2 (Q9UBL3). Transcriptional regulator. It is a selective cancer dependency (DepMap: 21.4% of cell lines).

Enables beta-catenin binding activity and transcription cis-regulatory region binding activity. Involved in positive regulation of cell population proliferation; response to estrogen; and transcription initiation-coupled chromatin remodeling. Acts upstream of or within DNA damage response. Located in nucleus. Part of MLL1 complex; MLL3/4 complex; and Set1C/COMPASS complex.

UniProt curated annotations — full annotation on UniProt →

Function. Transcriptional regulator. Component or associated component of some histone methyltransferase complexes which regulates transcription through recruitment of those complexes to gene promoters. Component of the Set1/Ash2 histone methyltransferase (HMT) complex, a complex that specifically methylates ‘Lys-4’ of histone H3, but not if the neighboring ‘Lys-9’ residue is already methylated. As part of the MLL1/MLL complex it is involved in methylation and dimethylation at ‘Lys-4’ of histone H3. May play a role in hematopoiesis. In association with RBBP5 and WDR5, stimulates the histone methyltransferase activities of KMT2A, KMT2B, KMT2C, KMT2D, SETD1A and SETD1B.

Subunit / interactions. Interacts with HCFC1. Core component of several methyltransferase-containing complexes including MLL1/MLL, MLL2/3 (also named ASCOM complex) and MLL4/WBP7. Each complex is at least composed of ASH2L, RBBP5, WDR5, DPY30, one or more specific histone methyltransferases (KMT2A/MLL1, KMT2D/MLL2, KMT2C/MLL3 and KMT2B/MLL4), and the facultative components PAGR1, BACC1, CHD8, E2F6, HCFC1, HCFC2, HSP70, INO80C, KDM6A, KANSL1, LAS1L, MAX, MCRS1, MEN1, MGA, KAT8/MOF, NCOA6, PAXIP1/PTIP, PELP1, PHF20, PRP31, RING2, RUVB1/TIP49A, RUVB2/TIP49B, SENP3, TAF1, TAF4, TAF6, TAF7, TAF9, TEX10 and alpha- and beta-tubulin. Component of the SET1 complex, at least composed of the catalytic subunit (SETD1A or SETD1B), WDR5, WDR82, RBBP5, ASH2L/ASH2, CXXC1/CFP1, HCFC1 and DPY30. Found in a complex with RBBP5, ASH2L, DPY30, KMT2A, KMT2D and WDR5. Component of a histone methylation complex composed of at least ZNF335, RBBP5, ASH2L and WDR5; the complex may have histone H3-specific methyltransferase activity, however does not have specificity for ‘Lys-4’ of histone H3. Within the complex, interacts with ZNF335. Interacts with RBBP5. Components of this complex may associate with components of a nuclear receptor-mediated transcription complex to form a complex at least composed of ZNF335, HCFC1, CCAR2, EMSY, MKI67, RBBP5, ASH2L and WDR5. Within this complex also interacts with CCAR2 and EMSY. Interacts with DPY30. Interacts with SETD1A and SETD1B.

Subcellular location. Nucleus.

Tissue specificity. Ubiquitously expressed. Predominantly expressed in adult heart and testis and fetal lung and liver, with barely detectable expression in adult lung, liver, kidney, prostate, and peripheral leukocytes.

Post-translational modifications. Both monomethylated and dimethylated on arginine residues in the C-terminus. Arg-296 is the major site. Methylation is not required for nuclear localization, nor for MLL complex integrity or maintenance of global histone H3K4me3 levels.

Enriched among interaction partners

Reactome pathways and GO biological processes over-represented among this gene’s 130 IntAct physical interaction partners (hypergeometric vs the genome-wide background, BH-FDR, gene-set size 15–500, ranked by fold). A functional readout of the neighbourhood — distinct from this gene’s own memberships above, and biased toward well-studied / hub proteins, so read it as themes rather than proof.
