NCBI Protein Information
TRITHORAX-RELATED PROTEIN 6
NCBI Summary
Encodes a SET-domain protein, a H3K27 monomethyltransferases required for chromatin structure and gene silencing. Regulates heterochromatic DNA replication. Contains a PCNA-binding domain. ATXR6 accumulates preferentially during the late G1 or S phase, suggesting that it plays a role in cell-cycle regulation or progression.

UniProt Comments
Histone methyltransferase that specifically monomethylates 'Lys-37' of histone H3 (H3K27me1). Has higher activity on nucleosomes containing H3.1 than H3.3. Involved in the formation of constitutive heterochromatin and the silencing of heterochromatic elements. May act as a positive regulator of the G1-S transition. Influences which sets of rRNA gene variants are expressed or silenced. Up-regulated by E2FB.
