Structured_descriptionConcise_descriptionmet-2 encodes a histone methyltransferase similar to human SETDB1; during development, met-2 acts as a class B synMuv gene: loss of met-2 activity in the background of a class A or class C synMuv mutant, such as lin-15A or trr-1, respectively, results in a multivulval phenotype, indicating that met-2 acts to negatively regulate vulval cell fate specification; as met-2 is required for normal levels of histone H3K36 and H3K9 trimethylation and met-2;lin-15A animals show an increase in lin-3 EGF expression, met-2 likely acts as part of a transcriptional repressor complex that negatively regulates lin-3 EGF transcription to restrict vulval development to three of the six cells in the vulval equivalence group; in addition, genetic studies indicate that met-2 likely acts redundantly with met-1 to inhibit vulval cell fates.Paper_evidenceWBPaper00026636

Automated_descriptionEnables histone H3K36 methyltransferase activity and histone H3K9 methyltransferase activity. Involved in several processes, including negative regulation of vulval development; regulation of gene expression; and vulval cell fate commitment. Located in cytoplasm. Expressed in hypodermis; intestine; muscle cell; neurons; and in male. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including Huntington's disease; autistic disorder; and prostate cancer. Is an ortholog of human SETDB1 (SET domain bifurcated histone lysine methyltransferase 1).Paper_evidenceWBPaper00065943

RemarkMap position created from combination of previous interpolated map position (based on known location of sequence) and allele information. Therefore this is not a genetic map position based on recombination frequencies or genetic experiments. This was done on advice of the CGC.CGC_data_submission
