PWWP domain; The PWWP domain is named after a conserved Pro-Trp-Trp-Pro motif. The domain binds to Histone-4 methylated at lysine-20, H4K20me, suggesting that it is methyl-lysine recognition motif. Removal of two conserved aromatic residues in a hydrophobic cavity created by this domain within the full-length protein, Pdp1, abolishes the interaction o f the protein with H4K20me3. In fission yeast, Set9 is the sole enzyme that catalyzes all three states of H4K20me, and Set9-mediated H4K20me is required for efficient recruitment of checkpoint protein Crb2 to sites of DNA damage. The methylation of H4K20 is involved in a diverse array of cellular processes, such as organizing higher-order chromatin, maintaining genome stability, and regulating cell-cycle progression.

PWWP (Pro-Trp-Trp-Pro) domain; The PWWP domain, named for a conserved Pro-Trp-Trp-Pro motif, is a small domain consisting of 100-150 amino acids and is composed of a five-stranded antiparallel beta-barrel followed by a helical region. It is found in numerous proteins that are involved in cell division, growth, and differentiation. Most PWWP-domain proteins seem to be nuclear, often DNA-binding, proteins that function as transcription factors regulating a variety of developmental processes. PWWP domains specifically recognize DNA and histone methylated lysines at the level of the nucleosome. Based on the fact that other regions of PWWP-domain proteins are responsible for nuclear localization and DNA-binding, is likely that the PWWP domain acts as a site for protein-protein binding interactions, influencing chromatin remodeling and thereby regulating transcriptional processes. Some PWWP-domain proteins have been linked to cancer or other diseases; some are known to function as growth factors.

PWWP domain found in Arabidopsis thaliana histone-lysine N-methyltransferase trithorax-like proteins ATX1, ATX2, and similar proteins; This family includes A. thaliana ATX1 and ATX2, which are sister paralogs originating from a segmental chromosomal duplication. They are plant counterparts of the Drosophila melanogaster trithorax (TRX) and mammalian mixed-lineage leukemia (MLL1) proteins. ATX1, also called protein SET domain group 27, or trithorax-homolog protein 1 (TRX-homolog protein 1), is a methyltransferase that trimethylates histone H3 at lysine 4 (H3K4me3). It also acts as a histone modifier and as a positive effector of gene expression. ATX1 regulates transcription from diverse classes of genes implicated in biotic and abiotic stress responses. It is involved in dehydration stress signaling in both abscisic acid (ABA)-dependent and ABA-independent pathways. ATX2, also called protein SET domain group 30, or trithorax-homolog protein 2 (TRX-homolog protein 2), is involved in dimethylating histone H3 at lysine 4 (H3K4me2). Both ATX1 and ATX2 are multi-domain containing proteins that consist of an N-terminal PWWP domain, FYRN- and FYRC (DAST, domain associated with SET in trithorax) domains, a canonical plant homeodomain (PHD) domain, a non-canonical extended PHD (ePHD) domain, and a C-terminal SET domain. The PWWP domain specifically recognizes DNA and histone methylated lysines.

PWWP domain found in protein BS69 and similar proteins; Protein BS69, also called zinc finger MYND domain-containing protein 11 (ZMYND11 or ZMY11), is a ubiquitously expressed nuclear protein acting as a transcriptional co-repressor in association with various transcription factors. It was originally identified as an adenovirus 5 E1A-binding protein that inhibits E1A transactivation, as well as c-Myb transcription. It also mediates repression, at least in part, through interaction with the co-repressor N-CoR. Moreover, it interacts with Toll-interleukin 1 receptor domain (TIR)-containing adaptor molecule-1 (TICAM-1, also named TRIF) to facilitate NF-kappaB activation and type I IFN induction. It associates with PIAS1, a SUMO E3 enzyme, and Ubc9, a SUMO E2 enzyme, and plays an inhibitory role in muscle and neuronal differentiation. Moreover, BS69 regulates Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) latent membrane protein 1 (LMP1)/C-terminal activation region 2 (CTAR2)-mediated NF-kappaB activation by interfering with the complex formation between TNFR-associated death domain protein (TRADD) and LMP1/CTAR2. It also cooperates with tumor necrosis factor receptor (TNFR)-associated factor 3 (TRAF3) in the regulation of EBV-derived LMP1/CTAR1-induced NF-kappaB activation. Furthermore, BS69 is involved in the p53-p21Cip1-mediated senescence pathway. BS69 contains a plant homeodomain (PHD) finger, a bromodomain, a proline-tryptophan-tryptophan-proline (PWWP) domain, and a MYeloid translocation protein 8, Nervy and DEAF-1 (MYND) domain. The PWWP domain specifically recognizes DNA and histone methylated lysines.

PWWP domain found in the DNA (cytosine-5)-methyltransferase 3 (DNMT3) family; The DNMT3 family includes DNMT3A and DNMT3B, which are required for genome-wide de novo methylation and is essential for the establishment of DNA methylation patterns during development. DNMT3A, also called DNA methyltransferase HsaIIIA, DNA MTase HsaIIIA, or M.HsaIIIA, modifies DNA in a non-processive manner and also methylates non-CpG sites. It may preferentially methylate DNA linker between 2 nucleosomal cores and is inhibited by histone H1. DNMT3A is recruited to trimethylated 'Lys-36' of histone H3 (H3K36me3) sites. DNMT3B, also called DNA methyltransferase HsaIIIB, DNA MTase HsaIIIB, or M.HsaIIIB, may preferentially methylate nucleosomal DNA within the nucleosome core region. DNMT3B may function as a transcriptional co-repressor by associating with CBX4 and independently of DNA methylation. Members of this family contains a PWWP domain that is responsible for establishing DNA methylation patterns during embryogenesis and gametogenesis. In tumorigenesis, DNA methylation by DNMT3B is known to play a role in the inactivation of tumor suppressor genes. In addition, a point mutation in the PWWP domain of DNMT3B has been identified in patients with ICF (immunodeficiency, centromeric instability, and facial anomalie) syndrome , a rare autosomal recessive disorder characterized by hypomethylation of classical satellite DNA.

PWWP domain found in mutated melanoma-associated antigen 1 (MUM-1) and similar proteins; MUM-1, also called PWWP domain-containing DNA repair factor 3A (PWWP3A), or protein expandere (EXPAND1), is a melanoma-associated antigen (MAA) that belongs to the mutated or aberrantly expressed type of MAAs, along with antigens such as CDK4, beta-catenin, gp100-in4, p15, and N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase V. It is highly expressed in several types of human cancers and involved in the DNA damage response pathway by contributing to the maintenance of chromatin architecture. MUM-1 is recruited to the vicinity of DNA breaks by TP53BP1 and plays an accessory role to facilitate damage-induced chromatin changes and promoting chromatin relaxation. It is required for efficient DNA repair and cell survival following DNA damage. This subfamily also includes mutated melanoma-associated antigen 1-like protein 1 (MUM1L1), also called MUM1-like protein 1, or PWWP domain-containing DNA repair factor 3B (PWWP3B). Its biological function remains unclear. The PWWP domain specifically recognizes DNA and histone methylated lysines.

PWWP domain found in DNA mismatch repair protein MSH6 and similar proteins; MSH6, also called G/T mismatch-binding protein (GTBP or GTMBP), MutS protein homolog 6, or MutS-alpha 160 kDa subunit (p160), is a mismatch repair protein homologous to bacterial MutS. It is a component of the post-replicative DNA mismatch repair system (MMR). It heterodimerizes with MSH2 to form MutS alpha, which binds to DNA mismatches thereby initiating DNA repair. When bound, MutS alpha bends the DNA helix and shields approximately 20 base pairs, and recognizes single base mismatches and dinucleotide insertion-deletion loops (IDL) in the DNA. After mismatch binding, it forms a ternary complex with the MutL alpha heterodimer, which is thought to be responsible for directing the downstream MMR events, including strand discrimination, excision, and resynthesis. Mutations in MSH6 have been linked to increased cancer susceptibility, particularly in hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer in humans. MSH6 contains a PWWP domain, but its role in MSH6 remains unclear. MSH6 orthologs found in Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Caenorhabditis elegans, and Arabidopsis thaliana lack the PWWP domain. PWWP domains typically recognize DNA and histone methylated lysines.

second PWWP domain found in nuclear SET domain-containing protein 2 (NSD2) and similar proteins; NSD2, also called histone-lysine N-methyltransferase NSD2, multiple myeloma SET domain-containing protein (MMSET), or protein trithorax-5 Wolf-Hirschhorn syndrome candidate 1 protein (WHSC1), is overexpressed frequently in the t(4;14) translocation in 15% to 20% of multiple myeloma. It plays important roles in cancer cell proliferation, survival, and tumor growth, through mediating constitutive NF-kappaB signaling via the cytokine autocrine loop. It also enhances androgen receptor (AR)-mediated transcription. The principal chromatin-regulatory activity of NSD2 is dimethylation of histone H3 at lysine 36 (H3K36me2). NSD2 contains a catalytic suppressor of variegation, enhancer of zeste and trithorax (SET) domain, two proline-tryptophan-tryptophan-prolin motif (PWWP) domains, an high mobility group (HMG) box, five PHD (plant-homeodomain) zinc finger motifs, and an NSD-specific Cys-His rich domain (C5HCH). The SET domain is responsible for histone methyltransferase activity. The PWWP, HMG, and PHD domains mediate chromatin interaction and recognition of histone marks. This model corresponds to the second PWWP domain. The PWWP domain specifically recognizes DNA and histone methylated lysines.
