Summary
MPHOSPH8 (M-phase phosphoprotein 8, HGNC:29810) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 13q12.11, encoding M-phase phosphoprotein 8 (Q99549). Heterochromatin component that specifically recognizes and binds methylated ‘Lys-9’ of histone H3 (H3K9me) and promotes recruitment of proteins that mediate epigenetic repression.
Enables chromatin binding activity; histone reader activity; and methylated histone binding activity. Involved in negative regulation of gene expression via chromosomal CpG island methylation and transposable element silencing by heterochromatin formation. Located in several cellular components, including cytosol; heterochromatin; and nuclear lumen. Part of nucleosome.

Literature-anchored findings (GeneRIF, showing 12)
- MPP8 mediates E-cadherin gene silencing and promotes breast tumour cell motility and invasion. (PMID:20871592)
- We determined the crystal structure of MPP8 chromodomain in complex with H3K9me3 peptide. MPP8 interacts with at least six histone H3 residues from glutamine 5 to serine 10. (PMID:21419134)
- These findings reveal the molecular mechanism of selective binding of human MPP8 chromodomain to methylated histone H3K9. (PMID:22022377)
- these results indicate that the chromatin association of MPP8 is regulated by Cdk-dependent phosphorylation. (PMID:23416073)
- interaction of HN with MPP8 may play a role in oncogenesis because MPP8 increases tumor cell motility and invasion (PMID:23532874)
- Knockdown analysis of MPP8 in HeLa cells resulted in derepression of a set of genes that are normally expressed in spermatogonia, spermatids and mature sperm, thereby indicating a role for this molecule in silencing testis-related genes in somatic cells. (PMID:25660450)
- findings demonstrate MPP8 and SIRT1 reciprocally regulate each other’s function at multiple molecular layers through physical interaction; disruption of MPP8-SIRT1 interaction de-represses E cadherin expression and reduces cell motility and invasiveness suggesting this interplay plays critical role in MPP8- and SIRT1-mediated epithelial-mesenchymal transition (PMID:25870236)
- this study identified the HUSH (human silencing hub) complex, comprising three poorly characterized proteins, TASOR, MPP8, and periphilin; this complex is absent from Drosophila but is conserved from fish to humans. (PMID:26022416)
- The haploid screen identified HUSH, an epigenetic heterochromatin repressor complex composed of three subunits, TASOR, MPP8 and Periphilin. (Review) (PMID:26853531)
- The study demonstrated that MPP8 was associated with non-small cell lung cancer cell proliferation through regulation of HOXA5. (PMID:29412790)
- M-phase phosphoprotein 8 promotes gastric cancer growth and metastasis via p53/Bcl-2 and EMT-related signaling pathways. (PMID:31692032)

Function. Heterochromatin component that specifically recognizes and binds methylated ‘Lys-9’ of histone H3 (H3K9me) and promotes recruitment of proteins that mediate epigenetic repression. As part of the HUSH complex, promotes epigenetic repression of mobile genetic elements, such as retroviruses and transposable elements: the HUSH complex mainly represses LINE-1 (L1) retrotransposons that are still capable of transposition. Silencing events often occur within introns of transcriptionally active genes, and lead to the down-regulation of host gene expression. MPHOSPH8 mediates recruitment of the HUSH complex to H3K9me3 sites: the HUSH complex is recruited to genomic loci rich in H3K9me3 and is required to maintain transcriptional silencing by promoting recruitment of SETDB1, a histone methyltransferase that mediates further deposition of H3K9me3, as well as MORC2, a chromatin remodeler that compacts chromatin. The HUSH complex is also involved in the silencing of unintegrated retroviral DNA by being recruited by ZNF638: some part of the retroviral DNA formed immediately after infection remains unintegrated in the host genome and is transcriptionally repressed. As part of the HUSH2 complex, promotes epigenetic repression of interferon-stimulated genes. Binds H3K9me and promotes DNA methylation by recruiting DNMT3A to target CpG sites; these can be situated within the coding region of the gene. Mediates silencing of E-cadherin (CDH1) and protocadherin genes in the nervous system.
Subunit / interactions. Homodimer. Interacts (via chromo domain) with histone H3K9me3. Has the highest affinity for H3K9me3, and lesser affinity for H3K9me2 and H3K9me1. Component of the HUSH complex; composed of TASOR, PPHLN1 and MPHOSPH8. Component of the HUSH2 complex; composed of TASOR2, PPHLN1 and MPHOSPH8. Interacts with DNMT3, EHMT1 and SETDB1. Interacts with MORC2; the interaction associates MORC2 with the HUSH complex which recruits MORC2 to heterochromatic loci. Interacts with ZNF638; leading to recruitment of the HUSH complex to unintegrated retroviral DNA. Interacts with humanin. Interacts with HDGFL2.
Subcellular location. Nucleus. Chromosome.
Post-translational modifications. Phosphorylated in M (mitotic) phase. Phosphorylation by CDK1 promotes dissociation from chromatin.
Domain organisation. The chromo domain mediates interaction with methylated ‘Lys-9’ of histone H3 (H3K9me), with the highest affinity for the trimethylated form (H3K9me3).

Enriched among interaction partners
Reactome pathways and GO biological processes over-represented among this gene’s 51 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.
