Also known as KMT8D
Summary
PRDM8 (PR/SET domain 8, HGNC:13993) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 4q21.21, encoding PR domain zinc finger protein 8 (Q9NQV8). Probable histone methyltransferase, preferentially acting on ‘Lys-9’ of histone H3.
This gene encodes a protein that belongs to a conserved family of histone methyltransferases that predominantly act as negative regulators of transcription. The encoded protein contains an N-terminal Su(var)3-9, Enhancer-of-zeste, and Trithorax (SET) domain and a double zinc-finger domain. Knockout of this gene in mouse results in mistargeting by neurons of the dorsal telencephalon, abnormal itch-like behavior, and impaired differentiation of rod bipolar cells. In humans, the protein has been shown to interact with the phosphatase laforin and the ubiquitin ligase malin, which regulate glycogen construction in the cytoplasm. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.

Function. Probable histone methyltransferase, preferentially acting on ‘Lys-9’ of histone H3. Involved in the control of steroidogenesis through transcriptional repression of steroidogenesis marker genes such as CYP17A1 and LHCGR. Forms with BHLHE22 a transcriptional repressor complex controlling genes involved in neural development and neuronal differentiation. In the retina, it is required for rod bipolar and type 2 OFF-cone bipolar cell survival.
Subunit / interactions. Interacts with EPM2A and NHLRC1. This interaction sequesters EPM2A and NHLRC1 to the nucleus. Interacts with BHLHE22.
Subcellular location. Nucleus.
Tissue specificity. Expressed in brain, heart, skeletal muscle, testes, prostate.
Disease relevance. Epilepsy, progressive myoclonic 10 (EPM10) [MIM:616640] A form of progressive myoclonic epilepsy, a clinically and genetically heterogeneous group of disorders defined by the combination of action and reflex myoclonus, other types of epileptic seizures, and progressive neurodegeneration and neurocognitive impairment. EPM10 is an autosomal recessive form characterized by progressive dysarthria, myoclonus, ataxia, cognitive decline, psychosis, dementia and spasticity, with onset in childhood. There is variability between patients. The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry.
Similarity. Belongs to the class V-like SAM-binding methyltransferase superfamily.
