Abstract excerpt
Protein lysine methyltransferases (PKMTs) play essential roles in gene expression regulation and cancer development. Somatic mutations in PKMTs are frequently observed in cancer cells. In biochemical experiments, we show here that the NSD1 mutations Y1971C, R2017Q, and R2017L observed mostly in solid cancers are catalytically inactive suggesting that NSD1 acts as a tumor suppressor gene in these tumors. In...
