Description

General description

EHMT1 (euchromatic histone methyltransferase 1), also known as G9a-like protein (GLP1), is a histone methyltransferase. This protein specifically methylates Lysine 9 of histone H3 in vitro. H3Lys9 methylation represents a specific tag for epigenetic transcriptional repression by recruiting HP1 proteins to methylated histones. EHMT1 is thought to be targeted to histone H3 by different DNA-binding proteins including E2F6, MGA, MAX and/or DP1. During G0 phase, it contributes to silencing of MYC- and E2F-responsive genes, suggesting a role in the G0/G1 transition of the cell cycle. EMHT1/GLP1 is phosphorylated upon DNA damage, probably by ATM or ATR. Defects in EHMT1 result in severe mental retardation, hypotonia, and epileptic seizures.
