| Description | This entry represents the PR/SET domain found in PR domain zinc finger protein 1 (PRDM1, also known as BLIMP-1). PRDM1 is a transcriptional repressor that is essential for cellular development. It is essential for the differentiation of B and T cells [ ]. In Caenorhabditis elegans, it regulates the spatiotemporal cell migration pattern []. The degradation of PRDM1 by DRE-1/FBXO11-dependent mechanism regulates the C. elegans developmental timing and maturation [].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 []. | Name | PRDM1, PR/SET domain |
| Short Name | PRDM1_PR-SET | Type | Domain |
