What is Insights on the regulation of the MLL/SET1 family histone methyltransferases about?

In eukaryotes, histone H3K4 methylation by the MLL/SET1 family histone methyltransferases is enriched at transcription regulatory elements including gene promoters and enhancers. The level of H3K4 methylation is highly correlated with transcription activation and is one of the most frequently used histone post-translational modifications to predict transcriptional outcome. Recently, it has been shown that rearrangement of the cellular landscape of H3K4 mono-methylation at distal enhancers precedes cell fate transition and is used for identification of novel regulatory elements for development and disease progression. Similarly, broad H3K4 tri-methylation regions have also been used to predict intrinsic tumor suppression properties of regulator regions in a variety of cellular models. Understanding the regulation for how H3K4 methylation is deposited and regulated is of paramount importance. In this review, we will discuss new findings on how the MLL/SET1 family enzymes are regulated on chromatin and their potential functional and regulatory implications.
