Crystal Structure of SETD2 bound to Compound 2
Structural highlights
FunctionSETD2_HUMAN Histone methyltransferase that methylates 'Lys-36' of histone H3. H3 'Lys-36' methylation represents a specific tag for epigenetic transcriptional activation. Probably plays a role in chromatin structure modulation during elongation via its interaction with hyperphosphorylated POLR2A. Binds DNA at promoters. May also act as a transcription activator that binds to promoters. Binds to the promoters of adenovirus 12 E1A gene in case of infection, possibly leading to regulate its expression.[1] Publication Abstract from PubMedSET domain-containing protein 2 (SETD2), a histone methyltransferase, has been identified as a target of interest in certain hematological malignancies, including multiple myeloma. This account details the discovery of EPZ-719, a novel and potent SETD2 inhibitor with a high selectivity over other histone methyltransferases. A screening campaign of the Epizyme proprietary histone methyltransferase-biased library identified potential leads based on a 2-amidoindole core. Structure-based drug design (SBDD) and drug metabolism/pharmacokinetics (DMPK) optimization resulted in EPZ-719, an attractive tool compound for the interrogation of SETD2 biology that enables in vivo target validation studies.
