homologue of trithorax
NCBI Summary
Encodes a homolog of trithorax, a histone-lysine N-methyltransferase. Involved in trimethylating histone H3-lysine 4. Involved in the formation, placement, and identity of flower organs. Role in regulation of homeotic genes. Functions as a receptor of phosphatidylinositol 5-phosphate. Localizes to cytoplasm, plasma membrane and nuclei, shifting to nuclei in the presence of PI5P.

UniProt Comments
Histone methyltransferase. Methylates 'Lys-4' of histone H3. H3 'Lys-4' methylation represents a specific tag for epigenetic transcriptional activation. Required to maintain the active state of class A (AP1 and AP2), class B (PI and AP3) and class C (AG) floral homeotic genes at early stages of flower development. Regulates floral organ identity and flowering transition. Functions as a receptor for the lipid messenger phosphatidylinositol 5-phosphate (PI5P), which regulates negatively its transcriptional activation activity.
