Summary
KMT2B (lysine methyltransferase 2B, HGNC:15840) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 19q13.12, encoding Histone-lysine N-methyltransferase 2B (Q9UMN6). Histone methyltransferase that catalyzes methyl group transfer from S-adenosyl-L-methionine to the epsilon-amino group of ‘Lys-4’ of histone H3 (H3K4) via a non-processive mechanism. It is a selective cancer dependency (DepMap: 11.8% of cell lines) and haploinsufficient (ClinGen: sufficient evidence).
This gene encodes a protein which contains multiple domains including a CXXC zinc finger, three PHD zinc fingers, two FY-rich domains, and a SET (suppressor of variegation, enhancer of zeste, and trithorax) domain. The SET domain is a conserved C-terminal domain that characterizes proteins of the MLL (mixed-lineage leukemia) family. This gene is ubiquitously expressed in adult tissues. It is also amplified in solid tumor cell lines, and may be involved in human cancer. Two alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms have been reported for this gene, however, the full length nature of the shorter transcript is not known.

Function. Histone methyltransferase that catalyzes methyl group transfer from S-adenosyl-L-methionine to the epsilon-amino group of ‘Lys-4’ of histone H3 (H3K4) via a non-processive mechanism. Part of chromatin remodeling machinery predominantly forms H3K4me1 and H3K4me2 methylation marks at active chromatin sites where transcription and DNA repair take place. Likely plays a redundant role with KMT2C in enriching H3K4me1 marks on primed and active enhancer elements. Plays a central role in beta-globin locus transcription regulation by being recruited by NFE2. Plays an important role in controlling bulk H3K4me during oocyte growth and preimplantation development. Required during the transcriptionally active period of oocyte growth for the establishment and/or maintenance of bulk H3K4 trimethylation (H3K4me3), global transcriptional silencing that preceeds resumption of meiosis, oocyte survival and normal zygotic genome activation.
Subunit / interactions. Component of the menin-associated histone methyltransferase complex, at least composed of KMT2B/MLL4, ASH2L, RBBP5, WDR5, DPY30, MEN1; the complex interacts with POLR2A and POLR2B via MEN1. Interacts with NFE2. Interacts with KDM6B. Interacts (via WIN motif) with WDR5. Interacts (via MBM motif) with MEN1. Forms a core complex with the evolutionary conserved subcomplex WRAD composed of WDR5, RBBP5, ASH2L/ASH2 and DPY30 subunits; WRAD differentially stimulates the methyltransferase activity.
Subcellular location. Nucleus.
Tissue specificity. Widely expressed. Highest levels in testis. Also found in brain with higher expression in the cerebellum than in any other region, bone marrow, heart, muscle, kidney, placenta, spleen, thymus, prostate, ovary, intestine, colon, peripheral blood lymphocytes and pancreas. Often amplified in pancreatic carcinomas.
Disease relevance. Dystonia 28, childhood-onset (DYT28) [MIM:617284] A form of dystonia, a disorder defined by the presence of sustained involuntary muscle contraction, often leading to abnormal postures. DYT28 is an autosomal dominant, progressive form characterized by onset in the first decade of life and variable severity. Dystonia begins focally in the lower limbs, resulting in gait difficulties, with later progression to other body regions, including the upper limbs, neck, and orofacial region. The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry. Intellectual developmental disorder, autosomal dominant 68 (MRD68) [MIM:619934] An autosomal dominant disorder characterized by developmental delay, intellectual disability, microcephaly, poor growth, feeding difficulties, and dysmorphic features. Some patients may have autism spectrum disorder or attention deficit-hyperactivity disorder. The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry.
Domain organisation. The CXXC zinc finger mediates binding to DNA containing unmethylated cytidine-phosphate-guanosine (CpG) dinucleotides.
Similarity. Belongs to the class V-like SAM-binding methyltransferase superfamily. Histone-lysine methyltransferase family. TRX/MLL subfamily.
