Histone methyltransferase that catalyzes methyl group transfer from S-adenosyl-L-methionine to the epsilon-amino group of 'Lys-4' of histone H3 (H3K4) via a non-processive mechanism. Part of chromatin remodeling machinery predominantly forms H3K4me1 and H3K4me2 methylation marks at active chromatin sites where transcription and DNA repair take place. Likely plays a redundant role with KMT2C in enriching H3K4me1 marks on primed and active enhancer elements. Plays a central role in beta-globin locus transcription regulation by being recruited by NFE2. Plays an important role in controlling bulk H3K4me during oocyte growth and preimplantation development. Required during the transcriptionally active period of oocyte growth for the establishment and/or maintenance of bulk H3K4 trimethylation (H3K4me3), global transcriptional silencing that preceeds resumption of meiosis, oocyte survival and normal zygotic genome activation.

we describe a method to seamlessly modify a putative CDK2 phosphorylation site on MLL2 to restrict its phosphorylation and activation. Specifically, by utilizing dimeric CRISPR RNA-guided nucleases, RFNs (commercially known as the NextGENtrade mark CRISPR), in combination with an excision-only piggyBactrade mark transposase, we demonstrate how to generate a point mutation of threonine-542, a predicted site to prevent M...

Results show that KMT2B interacts with ERalpha to bind the ERalpha-binding sites of IL-20 and other ERalpha target genes with H3K4 modifications suggesting an important role for KMT2B in the epigenetic transcriptional regulation of cytokine IL-20, and other ERalpha-responsive genes, in breast cancer cells.
