Abstract excerpt
EZH2 and EZH1 are protein methyltransferases (PMTs) responsible for histone H3, lysine 27 (H3K27) methylation. Trimethylation of H3K27 (H3K27me3) is a hallmark of many cancers, including non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL). Heterozygous EZH2 point mutations at Tyr641, Ala677, and Ala687 have been observed in NHL. The Tyr641 mutations enhance activity on H3K27me2 but have weak or no activity on unmethylated H3K27, whereas...
