KMT5A methylates TP53 on lysine. 3 / 3
| 2 1

reach
"Indeed, histone lysine methyltransferases KMT5 (Set9), KMT3C (Smyd2), and KMT5A (Set8) methylate p53 at specific C-terminal lysines."

reach
"We previously found that monomethylation of p53 at lysine 382 (p53K382me1) by the protein lysine methyltransferase (PKMT) SET8 and PR-Set 7 represses p53 transactivation of target genes."

"C-terminal lysine residues of p53 are methylated in vivo at K370, K372, K373, and K382 by histone lysine methyl transferases, Smyd2, SET9, G9a/Glp, and Set8, respectively. xref – xref While K372 methylation by SET9 in human cells enhanced p53 transcriptional activities, the role of p53 methylation in the mouse by Set7/9 was controversial. xref – xref However, it should be pointed out that the results from mouse embryonic fibroblasts in the mouse study might be inappropriate to apply to human epithelial cells."
