Summary

MORC4 (MORC family CW-type zinc finger 4, HGNC:23485) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome Xq22.3, encoding MORC family CW-type zinc finger protein 4 (Q8TE76). Histone methylation reader which binds to non-methylated (H3K4me0), monomethylated (H3K4me1), dimethylated (H3K4me2) and trimethylated (H3K4me3) ‘Lys-4’ on histone H3.

In human, the four current members of the microrchidia (morc) gene family share an N-terminal ATPase-like ATP-binding region and a CW four-cysteine zinc-finger motif. The protein encoded by this gene also has a nuclear matrix binding domain and a two-stranded coiled-coil motif near its C-terminus. This gene is widely expressed at low levels in normal tissues and has elevated expression in placenta and testis. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding distinct proteins.

Function. Histone methylation reader which binds to non-methylated (H3K4me0), monomethylated (H3K4me1), dimethylated (H3K4me2) and trimethylated (H3K4me3) ‘Lys-4’ on histone H3. The order of binding preference is H3K4me3 > H3K4me2 > H3K4me1 > H3K4me0.

Subcellular location. Nucleus.

Tissue specificity. Expressed at low levels in normal tissues, with highest expression levels in placenta and testis. Expression is significantly increased in subset of diffuse large B-cell lymphomas.

Domain organisation. The CW-TYPE zinc finger mediates its binding to trimethylated histone H3K4me3.
