. "FUNCTION: Histone methyltransferase that plays an essential role in early development and hematopoiesis. Catalytic subunit of the MLL1/MLL complex, a multiprotein complex that mediates both methylation of 'Lys-4' of histone H3 (H3K4me) complex and acetylation of 'Lys-16' of histone H4 (H4K16ac). In the MLL1/MLL complex, it specifically mediates H3K4me, a specific tag for epigenetic transcriptional activation. Has weak methyltransferase activity by itself, and requires other component of the MLL1/MLL complex to obtain full methyltransferase activity. Has no activity toward histone H3 phosphorylated on 'Thr-3', less activity toward H3 dimethylated on 'Arg-8' or 'Lys-9', while it has higher activity toward H3 acetylated on 'Lys-9'. Required for transcriptional activation of HOXA9. Promotes PPP1R15A-induced apoptosis. CATALYTIC ACTIVITY: S-adenosyl-L-methionine + L-lysine-[histone] = S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine + N(6)-methyl-L-lysine-[histone]. SUBUNIT: MLL cleavage product N320 heterodimerizes with MLL cleavage product C180 (via SET and FYRC domains). Component of some MLL1/MLL complex, at least composed of the core components MLL, ASH2L, HCFC1/HCF1, HCFC2, WDR5, DPY30 and RBBP5, as well as the facultative components C17orf49, CHD8, E2F6, HSP70, INO80C, KANSL1, LAS1L, MAX, MCRS1, MEN1, MGA, KAT8/MOF, PELP1, PHF20, PRP31, RING2, RUVB1/TIP49A, RUVB2/TIP49B, SENP3, TAF1, TAF4, TAF6, TAF7, TAF9 and TEX10. Interacts with WDR5; the interaction is direct. Interacts with KAT8/MOF; the interaction is direct. Interacts with SBF1 and PPP1R15A. SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Nucleus. SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: MLL cleavage product N320: Nucleus. SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: MLL cleavage product C180: Nucleus. Note=Localizes to a diffuse nuclear pattern when not associated with MLL cleavage product N320. ALTERNATIVE PRODUCTS: Event=Alternative splicing; Named isoforms=2; Name=1; IsoId=Q03164-1; Sequence=Displayed; Name=14P-18B; IsoId=Q03164-2; Sequence=VSP_006666; TISSUE SPECIFICITY: Heart, lung, brain and T- and B-lymphocytes. DOMAIN: the 9aaTAD motif is a transactivation domain present in a large number of yeast and animal transcription factors. DOMAIN: The SET domain structure is atypical and is not in an optimal position to have methyltransferase activity. It requires other components of the MLL1/MLL complex, such as ASH2L or RBBP5, to order the active site and obtain optimal histone methyltransferase activity. DOMAIN: The CXXC-type zinc finger binds bind to nonmethyl-CpG dinucleotides. PTM: Proteolytic cleavage by TASP1 generates MLL cleavage product N320 and MLL cleavage product C180, which reassemble through a non-covalent association. 2 cleavage sites exist, cleavage site 1 (CS1) and cleavage site 2 (CS2), to generate MLL cleavage products N320 and C180. CS2 is the major site. DISEASE: Note=Chromosomal aberrations involving MLL are a cause of acute leukemias.

Fusion proteins MLL-MLLT1, MLL-MLLT3 and MLL-ELL interact with PPP1R15A and, on the contrary to unfused MLL, inhibit PPP1R15A-induced apoptosis. DISEASE: Note=A chromosomal aberration involving MLL may be a cause of chronic neutrophilic leukemia. Translocation t(4;11)(q21;q23) with SEPT11.
