SETD2 loss-of-function uniquely sensitizes cells to epigenetic targeting of NSD1-directed H3K36 methylation by Ryan T. Wagner, Ryan A. Hlady, Xiaoyu Pan, Liguo Wang, Sungho Kim, Xia Zhao, Louis Y. El Khoury, Shafiq Shaikh, Jian Zhong, Jeong-Heon Lee, Jolanta Grembecka, Tomasz Cierpicki, Thai H. Ho, Keith D. Robertson

“…Abstract Background SETD2 is the sole epigenetic factor responsible for catalyzing histone 3, lysine 36, tri-methylation (H3K36me3) in mammals. Its role in regulating cellular processes such as RNA splicing, DNA repair, and spurious transcription initiation underlies its broader tumor suppressor function. …”
