Function
[LMBL1_HUMAN] Polycomb group (PcG) protein that specifically recognizes and binds mono- and dimethyllysine residues on target proteins, therey acting as a 'reader' of a network of post-translational modifications. PcG proteins maintain the transcriptionally repressive state of genes: acts as a chromatin compaction factor by recognizing and binding mono- and dimethylated histone H1b/HIST1H1E at 'Lys-26' (H1bK26me1 and H1bK26me2) and histone H4 at 'Lys-20' (H4K20me1 and H4K20me2), leading to condense chromatin and repress transcription. Recognizes and binds p53/TP53 monomethylated at 'Lys-382', leading to repress p53/TP53-target genes. Also recognizes and binds RB1/RB monomethylated at 'Lys-860'. Participates in the ETV6-mediated repression. Probably plays a role in cell proliferation. Overexpression induces multinucleated cells, suggesting that it is required to accomplish normal mitosis.[1] [2] [3] [4]

Publication Abstract from PubMed
Crystal structures of the L3MBTL1 MBT repeats in complex with histone H4 peptides dimethylated on Lys20 (H4K20me2) show that only the second of the three MBT repeats can bind mono- and dimethylated histone peptides. Its binding pocket has similarities to that of 53BP1 and is able to recognize the degree of histone lysine methylation. An unexpected mode of peptide-mediated dimerization suggests a possible mechanism for chromatin compaction by L3MBTL1.
