| Primary Identifier | IPR044408 | Type | Domain |
| Short Name | PRDM14_PR-SET |
| description | This entry represents the PR/SET domain found in PR domain zinc finger protein 14 (PRDM14). PRDM14 acts on regulating epigenetic modifications in the cells, playing a key role in the regulation of cell pluripotency, epigenetic reprogramming, differentiation and development [, ]. Aberrant PRDM14 expression is associated with tumorigenesis, cell migration and cell chemotherapeutic drugs resistance [, ].The PRDM family members are characterised by the presence of a N-terminal PR (PRDI-BF1 and RIZ1 homology) domain followed by multiple zinc fingers which confer DNA binding activity. PR domains are only distantly related to the classical SET methyltransferase domains []. They are involved in epigenetic regulation of gene expression through their intrinsic histone methyltransferase activity or via interactions with other chromatin modifying enzymes []. |
