AT5G43990 | Encodes SUVR2, one of the four closely related Arabidopsis SUVR proteins that belong to the SU(VAR)3-9 subgroup of SET-domain proteins. Proteins containing the evolutionarily conserved SET domain are involved in regulation of eukaryotic gene expression and chromatin structure through their histone lysine methyltransferase (HMTase) activity. SUVR1, SUVR2 and SUVR4 proteins contain a novel domain at their N-terminus, and a SUVR specific region preceding the SET domain. Localized to the nucleolus, maybe involved in regulation of rRNA expression. SUVR2; FUNCTIONS IN: zinc ion binding, histone-lysine N-methyltransferase activity; INVOLVED IN: chromatin modification; LOCATED IN: nucleolus, chloroplast; EXPRESSED IN: 18 plant structures; EXPRESSED DURING: 11 growth stages; CONTAINS InterPro DOMAIN/s: SET domain (InterPro:IPR001214), WIYLD domain (InterPro:IPR018848), Pre-SET domain (InterPro:IPR007728); BEST Arabidopsis thaliana protein match is: homolog of SU(var)3-9 1 (TAIR:AT1G04050.1); Has 35333 Blast hits to 34131 proteins in 2444 species: Archae - 798; Bacteria - 22429; Metazoa - 974; Fungi - 991; Plants - 531; Viruses - 0; Other Eukaryotes - 9610 (source: NCBI BLink).
