Recombinant Human ASH1L protein, GST-tagged

• Cat.No.: ASH1L-47H
• Product Overview: Recombinant Human ASH1L protein, fused with N-terminal GST tag was expressed in E.coli.

Specification

• Description: ASH1L is a large , multi-domain protein associated with actively transcribed regions of chromatin, ASH1L is the human homolog of Drosophila Ash1, a Trithorax group protein. Like its counterpart in Drosophila, ASH1L contains a SET histone methyltransferase domain and has been found to play a role in the regulation of Hox gene expression. Although the ASH1L SET domain has been shown in vitro to methylate histone peptides on lysine-4 of histone H3 (H3K4), ASH1L is an H3K36 methyltransferase both in vivo and in vitro with nucleosomes as substrate. Recruitment of ASH1L by the ncRNA DBE-T to the chromosome 4q35 locus associated with FSHD (facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy) leads to increased H3K36me2 and inappropriate gene derepression at the FSHD locus. In a possible positive feedback loop, ASH1L increases expression of DBE-T itself, suggesting ASH1L’s methyltransferase activity or its interaction with DBE-T as potential therapeutic targets for FSHD.
