Structural basis of the regulation of the normal and oncogenic methylation of nucleosomal histone H3 Lys36 by NSD2
An upregulation of NSD2, a histone H3 lysine 36 (H3K36) methyltransferase is linked to multiple myeloma and other types of cancer. Here, the authors provide insights into the regulatory mechanism of NSD2 by determining the 2.8 Å cryo-EM structure of the NSD2 bound nucleosome complex, and based on MD...

| Summary: | An upregulation of NSD2, a histone H3 lysine 36 (H3K36) methyltransferase is linked to multiple myeloma and other types of cancer. Here, the authors provide insights into the regulatory mechanism of NSD2 by determining the 2.8 Å cryo-EM structure of the NSD2 bound nucleosome complex, and based on MD simulations they discuss how two oncogenic mutations enhance NSD2 activity. |
