Summary
SUV39H2 (SUV39H2 histone lysine methyltransferase, HGNC:17287) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 10p13, encoding Histone-lysine N-methyltransferase SUV39H2 (Q9H5I1). Histone methyltransferase that specifically mediates trimethylation of ‘Lys-9’ of histone H3 (H3K9me3) using monomethylated H3 ‘Lys-9’ (H3K9me1) as substrate.
Enables cation binding activity; histone H3K9 methyltransferase activity; and ubiquitin-like ligase-substrate adaptor activity. Involved in epigenetic programming in the zygotic pronuclei. Acts upstream of or within cellular response to hypoxia and negative regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Located in chromatin. Is active in nucleus.

Function. Histone methyltransferase that specifically mediates trimethylation of ‘Lys-9’ of histone H3 (H3K9me3) using monomethylated H3 ‘Lys-9’ (H3K9me1) as substrate. H3 ‘Lys-9’ trimethylation represents a specific tag for epigenetic transcriptional repression by recruiting HP1 (CBX1, CBX3 and/or CBX5) proteins to methylated histones. Mainly functions in heterochromatin regions, thereby playing a central role in the establishment of constitutive heterochromatin at pericentric and telomere regions. H3 ‘Lys-9’ trimethylation is also required to direct DNA methylation at pericentric repeats. SUV39H2 is targeted to histone H3 via its interaction with RB1 and is involved in many processes, such as cell cycle regulation, transcriptional repression and regulation of telomere length. May participate in regulation of higher-order chromatin organization during spermatogenesis. Recruited by the large PER complex to the E-box elements of the circadian target genes such as PER2 itself or PER1, contributes to the conversion of local chromatin to a heterochromatin-like repressive state through H3 ‘Lys-9’ trimethylation.
Subunit / interactions. Interacts with SMAD5. The large PER complex involved in the histone methylation is composed of at least PER2, CBX3, TRIM28, SUV39H1 and/or SUV39H2; CBX3 mediates the formation of the complex. Interacts with ZNF152B; this interaction initiates heterochromatin formation.
Subcellular location. Nucleus. Chromosome. Centromere.
Post-translational modifications. Ubiquitinated by the DCX(DCAF13) E3 ubiquitin ligase complex, leading to its degradation.
Domain organisation. Although the SET domain contains the active site of enzymatic activity, both pre-SET and post-SET domains are required for methyltransferase activity. The SET domain also participates in stable binding to heterochromatin. In the pre-SET domain, Cys residues bind 3 zinc ions that are arranged in a triangular cluster; some of these Cys residues contribute to the binding of two zinc ions within the cluster.
Similarity. Belongs to the class V-like SAM-binding methyltransferase superfamily. Histone-lysine methyltransferase family. Suvar3-9 subfamily.

Enriched among interaction partners
Reactome pathways and GO biological processes over-represented among this gene’s 54 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.
