Summary

SET (SET nuclear proto-oncogene, HGNC:10760) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 9q34.11, encoding Protein SET (Q01105). Multitasking protein, involved in apoptosis, transcription, nucleosome assembly and histone chaperoning. It is a selective cancer dependency (DepMap: 11.1% of cell lines) and haploinsufficient (ClinGen: sufficient evidence).

The protein encoded by this gene inhibits acetylation of nucleosomes, especially histone H4, by histone acetylases (HAT). This inhibition is most likely accomplished by masking histone lysines from being acetylated, and the consequence is to silence HAT-dependent transcription. The encoded protein is part of a complex localized to the endoplasmic reticulum but is found in the nucleus and inhibits apoptosis following attack by cytotoxic T lymphocytes. This protein can also enhance DNA replication of the adenovirus genome. Several transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.

Function. Multitasking protein, involved in apoptosis, transcription, nucleosome assembly and histone chaperoning. Isoform 2 anti-apoptotic activity is mediated by inhibition of the GZMA-activated DNase, NME1. In the course of cytotoxic T-lymphocyte (CTL)-induced apoptosis, GZMA cleaves SET, disrupting its binding to NME1 and releasing NME1 inhibition. Isoform 1 and isoform 2 are potent inhibitors of protein phosphatase 2A. Isoform 1 and isoform 2 inhibit EP300/CREBBP and PCAF-mediated acetylation of histones (HAT) and nucleosomes, most probably by masking the accessibility of lysines of histones to the acetylases. The predominant target for inhibition is histone H4. HAT inhibition leads to silencing of HAT-dependent transcription and prevents active demethylation of DNA. Both isoforms stimulate DNA replication of the adenovirus genome complexed with viral core proteins; however, isoform 2 specific activity is higher.

Subunit / interactions. Headphone-shaped homodimer. Isoforms 1 and 2 interact directly with each other and with ANP32A within the tripartite INHAT (inhibitor of acetyltransferases) complex. Isoform 1 and isoform 2 interact also with histones. Isoform 2 is a component of the SET complex, composed of at least ANP32A, APEX1, HMGB2, NME1, SET and TREX1, but not NME2 or TREX2. Within this complex, directly interacts with ANP32A, NME1, HMGB2 and TREX1; the interaction with ANP32A is enhanced after cleavage. Interacts with APBB1, CHTOP, SETBP1, SGO1. (Microbial infection) Interacts with herpes simplex virus 1 VP22.

Subcellular location. Cytoplasm. Cytosol. Endoplasmic reticulum. Nucleus. Nucleoplasm.

Tissue specificity. Widely expressed. Low levels in quiescent cells during serum starvation, contact inhibition or differentiation. Highly expressed in Wilms’ tumor.

Post-translational modifications. Isoform 2 is phosphorylated on Ser-15 and Ser-24. Isoform 2 is acetylated on Lys-11. Some glutamate residues are glycylated by TTLL8. This modification occurs exclusively on glutamate residues and results in a glycine chain on the gamma-carboxyl group. N-terminus of isoform 1 is methylated by METTL11A/NTM1. Mainly trimethylated. Cleaved after Lys-176 by GZMA. The cleavage inhibits its nucleosome assembly activity and disrupts the inhibition on NME1.

Disease relevance. A chromosomal aberration involving SET is found in some cases of acute undifferentiated leukemia (AUL). Translocation t(6;9)(q21;q34.1) with NUP214/CAN. Intellectual developmental disorder, autosomal dominant 58 (MRD58) [MIM:618106] A disorder characterized by significantly below average general intellectual functioning associated with impairments in adaptive behavior and manifested during the developmental period. MRD58 patients show delayed development, intellectual disability, language delay and speech impairment. Some patients have motor delay or incoordination, and minor dysmorphic features. The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry.

Domain organisation. A long alpha helix in the N-terminus mediates dimerization, while the earmuff domain is responsible for core histone and dsDNA binding. The C-terminal acidic domain mediates the inhibition of histone acetyltransferases and is required for the DNA replication stimulatory activity.

Similarity. Belongs to the nucleosome assembly protein (NAP) family.

Enriched among interaction partners

Reactome pathways and GO biological processes over-represented among this gene’s 188 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.
