Also known as MDS1-EVI1PRDM3KMT8E
Summary
MECOM (MDS1 and EVI1 complex locus, HGNC:3498) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 3q26.2, encoding Histone-lysine N-methyltransferase MECOM (Q03112). Functions as a transcriptional regulator binding to DNA sequences in the promoter region of target genes and regulating positively or negatively their expression.
The protein encoded by this gene is a transcriptional regulator and oncoprotein that may be involved in hematopoiesis, apoptosis, development, and cell differentiation and proliferation. The encoded protein can interact with CTBP1, SMAD3, CREBBP, KAT2B, MAPK8, and MAPK9. This gene can undergo translocation with the AML1 gene, resulting in overexpression of this gene and the onset of leukemia. Several transcript variants encoding a few different isoforms have been found for this gene.

Function. Functions as a transcriptional regulator binding to DNA sequences in the promoter region of target genes and regulating positively or negatively their expression. Oncogene which plays a role in development, cell proliferation and differentiation. May also play a role in apoptosis through regulation of the JNK and TGF-beta signaling. Involved in hematopoiesis. Displays histone methyltransferase activity and monomethylates ‘Lys-9’ of histone H3 (H3K9me1). Probably catalyzes the monomethylation of free histone H3 in the cytoplasm which is then transported to the nucleus and incorporated into nucleosomes where SUV39H methyltransferases use it as a substrate to catalyze histone H3 ‘Lys-9’ trimethylation. Likely to be one of the primary histone methyltransferases along with PRDM16 that direct cytoplasmic H3K9me1 methylation.
Subunit / interactions. Homooligomer. Interacts with SUV39H1 (via SET domain); enhances MECOM transcriptional repression activity. Interacts with CTBP1. Interacts with SMAD3 (via MH2 domain); the interaction is direct. Interacts with SMAD4; through interaction with SMAD3. Interacts with CREBBP, KAT2B and histone deacetylases. Interacts with MAPK8 and MAPK9; inhibits JNK signaling. Interacts (via N-terminus) with RBBP4.
Subcellular location. Nucleus. Nucleus speckle. Cytoplasm.
Post-translational modifications. Phosphorylated. May be acetylated by CREBBP and KAT2B.
Disease relevance. A chromosomal aberration involving EVI1 is a cause of chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML). Translocation t(3;21)(q26;q22) with RUNX1/AML1. Radioulnar synostosis with amegakaryocytic thrombocytopenia 2 (RUSAT2) [MIM:616738] An autosomal dominant disease characterized by proximal fusion of the radius and ulna resulting in extremely limited pronation and supination of the forearm, and congenital thrombocytopenia that progresses to pancytopenia. The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry. A chromosomal aberration involving MDS1 is found in a form of acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Translocation t(3;21) with AML1.
Domain organisation. Both zinc finger regions are required for the transcriptional activation of PBX1.
Miscellaneous. Produced by alternative promoter usage. Unable to form homooligomers, to interact with CTBP1 and SMAD3 and to repress TGF-beta signaling. Produced by alternative promoter usage.
