Summary

KMT2D (lysine methyltransferase 2D, HGNC:7133) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 12q13.12, encoding Histone-lysine N-methyltransferase 2D (O14686). Histone methyltransferase that catalyzes methyl group transfer from S-adenosyl-L-methionine to the epsilon-amino group of ‘Lys-4’ of histone H3 (H3K4). In precision oncology, KMT2D Loss-of-function confers sensitivity to Immune Checkpoint Inhibitor in Colorectal Adenocarcinoma (CIViC Level B); 2 further curated variant–drug associations are listed below. It is a selective cancer dependency (DepMap: 31.5% of cell lines) and haploinsufficient (ClinGen: sufficient evidence).

The protein encoded by this gene is a histone methyltransferase that methylates the Lys-4 position of histone H3. The encoded protein is part of a large protein complex called ASCOM, which has been shown to be a transcriptional regulator of the beta-globin and estrogen receptor genes. Mutations in this gene have been shown to be a cause of Kabuki syndrome.

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). Part of chromatin remodeling machinery predominantly forms H3K4me1 methylation marks at active chromatin sites where transcription and DNA repair take place. Acts as a coactivator for estrogen receptor by being recruited by ESR1, thereby activating transcription.

Subunit / interactions. Component of the MLL2 complex (also named ASCOM complex), at least composed of catalytic subunit KMT2D/MLL2, ASH2L, RBBP5, WDR5, NCOA6, DPY30, KDM6A, PAXIP1/PTIP, PAGR1 and alpha- and beta-tubulin. 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. Interacts with ESR1; interaction is direct. Interacts (via WIN motif) with WDR5.

Subcellular location. Nucleus.

Tissue specificity. Expressed in most adult tissues, including a variety of hematoipoietic cells, with the exception of the liver.

Disease relevance. Kabuki syndrome 1 (KABUK1) [MIM:147920] An autosomal dominant, congenital syndrome characterized by intellectual disability and additional features, including postnatal dwarfism, a peculiar facies characterized by long palpebral fissures with eversion of the lateral third of the lower eyelids, a broad and depressed nasal tip, large prominent earlobes, a cleft or high-arched palate, scoliosis, short fifth finger, persistence of fingerpads, radiographic abnormalities of the vertebrae, hands, and hip joints, and recurrent otitis media in infancy. The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry. Branchial arch abnormalities, choanal atresia, athelia, hearing loss, and hypothyroidism syndrome (BCAHH) [MIM:620186] An autosomal dominant disorder characterized by choanal atresia, athelia or hypoplastic nipples, branchial sinus abnormalities, neck pits, lacrimal duct anomalies, hearing loss, external ear malformations, delayed or absent pubertal development, and thyroid abnormalities. Additional features may include developmental delay, growth failure and short stature. The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry.

Domain organisation. LXXLL motifs 5 and 6 are essential for the association with ESR1 nuclear receptor.

Miscellaneous. This gene mapped to a chromosomal region involved in duplications and translocations associated with cancer.

Similarity. Belongs to the class V-like SAM-binding methyltransferase superfamily. Histone-lysine methyltransferase family. TRX/MLL subfamily.
