Summary

DNMT3B (DNA methyltransferase 3 beta, HGNC:2979) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 20q11.21, encoding DNA (cytosine-5)-methyltransferase 3B (Q9UBC3). Required for genome-wide de novo methylation and is essential for the establishment of DNA methylation patterns during development.

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 which is thought to function in de novo methylation, rather than maintenance methylation. The protein localizes primarily to the nucleus and its expression is developmentally regulated. Mutations in this gene cause the immunodeficiency-centromeric instability-facial anomalies (ICF) syndrome. Eight alternatively spliced transcript variants have been described. The full length sequences of variants 4 and 5 have not been determined.

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. May preferentially methylates nucleosomal DNA within the nucleosome core region. May function as transcriptional co-repressor by associating with CBX4 and independently of DNA methylation. Seems to be involved in gene silencing. In association with DNMT1 and via the recruitment of CTCFL/BORIS, involved in activation of BAG1 gene expression by modulating dimethylation of promoter histone H3 at H3K4 and H3K9. Isoforms 4 and 5 are probably not functional due to the deletion of two conserved methyltransferase motifs. Functions as a transcriptional corepressor by associating with ZHX1. Required for DUX4 silencing in somatic cells.

Subunit / interactions. Interacts with BAZ2A/TIP5, SUV39H1 and CBX4. Interacts with UHRF1. Interacts with DNMT1 and DNMT3A, SETDB1, UBL1, UBE2I9 and ZHX1. Interacts with the PRC2/EED-EZH2 complex.

Subcellular location. Nucleus.

Tissue specificity. Ubiquitous; highly expressed in fetal liver, heart, kidney, placenta, and at lower levels in spleen, colon, brain, liver, small intestine, lung, peripheral blood mononuclear cells, and skeletal muscle. Isoform 1 is expressed in all tissues except brain, skeletal muscle and PBMC, 3 is ubiquitous, 4 is expressed in all tissues except brain, skeletal muscle, lung and prostate and 5 is detectable only in testis and at very low level in brain and prostate.

Post-translational modifications. Sumoylated. Citrullinated by PADI4.

Disease relevance. Immunodeficiency-centromeric instability-facial anomalies syndrome 1 (ICF1) [MIM:242860] A rare disorder characterized by a variable immunodeficiency resulting in recurrent infections, facial anomalies, and branching of chromosomes 1, 9, and 16. Other variable symptoms include growth retardation, failure to thrive, and psychomotor retardation. Laboratory studies show limited hypomethylation of DNA in a small fraction of the genome in some, but not all, patients. The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry. Facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy 4, digenic (FSHD4) [MIM:619478] A digenic form of facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy, a degenerative muscle disease characterized by slowly progressive weakness of the muscles of the face, upper-arm, and shoulder girdle. With disease progression, other muscles may also become affected. There is significant clinical variability and incomplete penetrance. The disease is caused by variants affecting distinct genetic loci, including the gene represented in this entry. DNMT3B mutations lead to DUX4 expression in somatic tissues, including muscle cells, when a haplotype on chromosome 4 is permissive for DUX4 expression. Ectopic expression of DUX4 in skeletal muscle activates the expression of stem cell and germline genes, and, when overexpressed in somatic cells, DUX4 can ultimately lead to cell death.

Activity regulation. Activated by binding to the regulatory factor DNMT3L.

Domain organisation. The PWWP domain is essential for targeting to pericentric heterochromatin.

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

Reactome pathways and GO biological processes over-represented among this gene’s 39 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.
