Lysine methyltransferase 2 family (KMT2) proteins methylate lysine 4 on the histone H3 tail at important regulatory regions in the genome and thus impart critical functions through modulating chromatin structures and DNA accessibility. While the human KMT2 family was initially named the mixed lineage leukemia (MLL) family, due to the role of the founding member KMT2A (also called MLL, MLL1, ALL-1, HRX) in this disease, recent exome-sequencing studies revealed KMT2 genes to be among the most frequently mutated genes in many types of human cancers. Efforts to integrate the molecular mechanisms of KMT2 with its roles in tumorigenesis have led to the development of first-generation inhibitors of KMT2 function, which could become novel cancer therapies.
