== Function ==
[https://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/HEMK2_HUMAN HEMK2_HUMAN] Methyltransferase that can methylate both proteins and DNA, and to a lower extent, arsenic (PubMed:18539146, PubMed:21193388, PubMed:30017583). Catalytic subunit of a heterodimer with TRMT112, which catalyzes N5-methylation of Glu residue of proteins with a Gly-Gln-Xaa-Xaa-Xaa-Arg motif (PubMed:18539146) (By similarity). Methylates ETF1 on 'Gln-185'; ETF1 needs to be complexed to ERF3 in its GTP-bound form to be efficiently methylated (PubMed:18539146, PubMed:20606008). Also acts as a N(6)-adenine-specific DNA methyltransferase by mediating methylation of DNA on the 6th position of adenine (N(6)-methyladenosine) (PubMed:30017583). N(6)-methyladenosine (m6A) DNA is significantly enriched in exonic regions and is associated with gene transcriptional activation (PubMed:30017583). May also play a role in the modulation of arsenic-induced toxicity by mediating the conversion of monomethylarsonous acid (3+) into the less toxic dimethylarsonic acid (PubMed:21193388, PubMed:25997655). It however only plays a limited role in arsenic metabolism compared with AS3MT (PubMed:25997655).[UniProtKB:Q6SKR2]<ref>PMID:18539146</ref> <ref>PMID:20606008</ref> <ref>PMID:21193388</ref> <ref>PMID:25997655</ref> <ref>PMID:30017583</ref>

== Publication Abstract from PubMed ==
Histone lysine methylation is generally performed by SET domain methyltransferases and regulates chromatin structure and gene expression. Here, we identify human C21orf127 (HEMK2, N6AMT1, PrmC), a member of the seven-beta-strand family of putative methyltransferases, as a novel histone lysine methyltransferase. C21orf127 functions as an obligate heterodimer with TRMT112, writing the methylation mark on lysine 12 of histone H4 (H4K12) in vitro and in vivo. We characterized H4K12 recognition by solving the crystal structure of human C21orf127-TRMT112, hereafter termed 'lysine methyltransferase 9' (KMT9), in complex with S-adenosyl-homocysteine and H4K12me1 peptide. Additional analyses revealed enrichment for KMT9 and H4K12me1 at the promoters of numerous genes encoding cell cycle regulators and control of cell cycle progression by KMT9. Importantly, KMT9 depletion severely affects the proliferation of androgen receptor-dependent, as well as that of castration- and enzalutamide-resistant prostate cancer cells and xenograft tumors. Our data link H4K12 methylation with KMT9-dependent regulation of androgen-independent prostate tumor cell proliferation, thereby providing a promising paradigm for the treatment of castration-resistant prostate cancer.
