Summary

DNMT3A (DNA methyltransferase 3 alpha, HGNC:2978) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 2p23.3, encoding DNA (cytosine-5)-methyltransferase 3A (Q9Y6K1). Required for genome-wide de novo methylation and is essential for the establishment of DNA methylation patterns during development. In precision oncology, DNMT3A Mutation confers sensitivity to Decitabine in Acute Myeloid Leukemia (CIViC Level B); 3 further curated variant–drug associations are listed below. It is haploinsufficient (ClinGen: sufficient evidence).

CpG methylation is an epigenetic modification that is important for embryonic development, imprinting, and X-chromosome inactivation. Studies in mice have demonstrated that DNA methylation is required for mammalian development. This gene encodes a DNA methyltransferase that is thought to function in de novo methylation, rather than maintenance methylation. The protein localizes to the cytoplasm and nucleus and its expression is developmentally regulated.

Function. Required for genome-wide de novo methylation and is essential for the establishment of DNA methylation patterns during development. DNA methylation is coordinated with methylation of histones. It modifies DNA in a non-processive manner and also methylates non-CpG sites. May preferentially methylate DNA linker between 2 nucleosomal cores and is inhibited by histone H1. Plays a role in paternal and maternal imprinting. Required for methylation of most imprinted loci in germ cells. Acts as a transcriptional corepressor for ZBTB18. Recruited to trimethylated ‘Lys-36’ of histone H3 (H3K36me3) sites. Can actively repress transcription through the recruitment of HDAC activity. Also has weak auto-methylation activity on Cys-710 in absence of DNA.

Subunit / interactions. Heterotetramer composed of 1 DNMT3A homodimer and 2 DNMT3L subunits (DNMT3L-DNMT3A-DNMT3A-DNMT3L). Interacts with UBC9, PIAS1 and PIAS2. Binds the ZBTB18 transcriptional repressor. Interacts with SETDB1. Associates with HDAC1 through its ADD domain. Interacts with UHRF1. Interacts with DNMT1 and DNMT3B. Interacts with the PRC2/EED-EZH2 complex. Interacts with MPHOSPH8. Interacts with histone H3 that is not methylated at ‘Lys-4’ (H3K4). Interacts with SPOCD1. Interacts with ZNF263; recruited to the SIX3 promoter along with other proteins involved in chromatin modification and transcriptional corepression where it contributes to transcriptional repression.

Subcellular location. Nucleus. Chromosome. Cytoplasm.

Tissue specificity. Highly expressed in fetal tissues, skeletal muscle, heart, peripheral blood mononuclear cells, kidney, and at lower levels in placenta, brain, liver, colon, spleen, small intestine and lung.

Post-translational modifications. Sumoylated; sumoylation disrupts the ability to interact with histone deacetylases (HDAC1 and HDAC2) and repress transcription. Auto-methylated at Cys-710: auto-methylation takes place in absence of DNA substrate and inactivates the DNA methyltransferase activity. Inactivation by auto-methylation may be used to inactivate unused DNA methyltransferases in the cell.

Disease relevance. Tatton-Brown-Rahman syndrome (TBRS) [MIM:615879] An overgrowth syndrome characterized by a distinctive facial appearance, tall stature and intellectual disability. Facial gestalt is characterized by a round face, heavy horizontal eyebrows and narrow palpebral fissures. Less common features include atrial septal defects, seizures, umbilical hernia, and scoliosis. The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry. Leukemia, acute myelogenous (AML) [MIM:601626] A subtype of acute leukemia, a cancer of the white blood cells. AML is a malignant disease of bone marrow characterized by maturational arrest of hematopoietic precursors at an early stage of development. Clonal expansion of myeloid blasts occurs in bone marrow, blood, and other tissue. Myelogenous leukemias develop from changes in cells that normally produce neutrophils, basophils, eosinophils and monocytes. The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry. Heyn-Sproul-Jackson syndrome (HESJAS) [MIM:618724] An autosomal dominant form of microcephalic dwarfism. Affected individuals have intrauterine growth retardation, postnatal growth restrictions, proportionate short stature, microcephaly, severe developmental delay and impaired intellectual development. More variable features include sparse hair, short broad metacarpals and phalanges, and mild recurrent infections. The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry.

Activity regulation. Activated by binding to the regulatory factor DNMT3L. Auto-methylation at Cys-710 in absence of DNA inactivates the DNA methyltransferase activity.

Domain organisation. The PWWP domain is essential for targeting to pericentric heterochromatin. It specifically recognizes and binds trimethylated ‘Lys-36’ of histone H3 (H3K36me3).

Miscellaneous. It is uncertain whether Met-1 or Met-35 is the initiator. Produced by alternative splicing.

Similarity. Belongs to the class I-like SAM-binding methyltransferase superfamily. C5-methyltransferase family.

Disease & clinical

Cancer significance

From CIViC — curated cancer-variant interpretation:

DNMT3A is one of several epigenetic modifiers identified as recurrently mutated in acute myeloid leukemia (AML). DNMT3A mutations are associated with cytogenetically normal AML. In vitro experiments indicate that the R882H mutation acts in a dominant negative manner to disrupt the de novo methyltransferase activity of wildtype homotetramers. AML patient bone marrow harboring R882 mutations were similarly demonstrated to be hypomethylated compared to patients with wildtype DNMT3A. These studies also indicated that non-R882 DNMT3A mutations may act in a functionally distinct manner from R882 mutations. Alternative mechanisms indicate independent prognostic outcomes and treatment protocols may need to be considered for these two classes of DNMT3A mutations.

From intOGen — cancer-driver classification: loss-of-function (tumor-suppressor-like) across 9 cancer types — AML, BRCA, CCRCC, HCC, LGGNOS, MDS, PCM, PRCC, WDTC.
