NSD Nuclear receptor binding SET domain protein [Drosophila melanogaster (fruit fly)] - Gene

Summary

Official Symbol: NSDprovided by FlyBase
Official Full Name: Nuclear receptor binding SET domain proteinprovided by FlyBase
Primary source: FLYBASE:FBgn0039559
Locus tag: Dmel_CG4976
See related: AllianceGenome:FB:FBgn0039559
Gene type: protein coding
RefSeq status: REVIEWED
Organism: Drosophila melanogaster
Lineage: Eukaryota; Metazoa; Ecdysozoa; Arthropoda; Hexapoda; Insecta; Pterygota; Neoptera; Endopterygota; Diptera; Brachycera; Muscomorpha; Ephydroidea; Drosophilidae; Drosophila; Sophophora
Also known as: CG4976; Dmel\CG4976; dMes-4; dMES-4; Mes-4; MES-4
Summary: Enables chromatin DNA binding activity; histone H3K36 dimethyltransferase activity; and transcription coactivator activity. Involved in positive regulation of canonical NF-kappaB signal transduction; positive regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II; and retrotransposon silencing by heterochromatin formation. Located in pericentric heterochromatin and polytene chromosome. Is expressed in head mesoderm; organism; trunk mesoderm; and ventral ectoderm. Used to study Sotos syndrome 1. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Sotos syndrome (multiple); lung non-small cell carcinoma; microcephaly; myeloid leukemia (multiple); and neuroblastoma. Orthologous to human NSD1 (nuclear receptor binding SET domain protein 1); NSD2 (nuclear receptor binding SET domain protein 2); and NSD3 (nuclear receptor binding SET domain protein 3).

Drosophila NSD deletion induces developmental anomalies similar to those seen in Sotos syndrome 1 patients.
Title: Drosophila NSD deletion induces developmental anomalies similar to those seen in Sotos syndrome 1 patients.
Taken together, our findings suggest that NSD induces apoptosis via the activation of JNK, and thus contributes to the understanding of the molecular mechanisms involved in NSD1-related diseases in humans.
Title: Overexpression of histone methyltransferase NSD in Drosophila induces apoptotic cell death via the Jun-N-terminal kinase pathway.
dMes-4 is a novel insulator-binding protein cofactor, which specifically co-regulates the chromatin accessibility of hundreds of genes flanked by dCTCF/Beaf32.
Title: Insulators recruit histone methyltransferase dMes4 to regulate chromatin of flanking genes.
