Summary
Enables chromatin binding activity; enzyme regulator activity; and methylated histone binding activity. Involved in several processes, including chromatin remodeling; chromosome separation; and positive regulation of gene expression. Located in nucleus. Part of NuA4 histone acetyltransferase complex and histone methyltransferase complex. Is expressed in several structures, including adult head; central brain primordium; ganglia; larval nervous system; and ventral nerve cord primordium. Orthologous to several human genes including MORF4L1 (mortality factor 4 like 1). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Dec 2024]

GeneRIFs: Gene References Into Functions

What's a GeneRIF?
  1. Mrg15 is a subunit of the Ash1 complex, a stimulator of Ash1 enzymatic activity and a critical regulator of the TrxG protein function of Ash1 in Drosophila.
    Title: Mrg15 stimulates Ash1 H3K36 methyltransferase activity and facilitates Ash1 Trithorax group protein function in Drosophila.
  2. Ash1 HMTase activity is activated by MRG15, a subunit of the identified Ash1 complex, and that this complex, rather than the Ash1 protein alone, is the active form of this H3K36 methyltransferase, both in vitro and in vivo.

  3. Mrg15 interacts with Cap-H2 condensin subunit.
    Title: Maintenance of interphase chromosome compaction and homolog pairing in Drosophila is regulated by the condensin cap-h2 and its partner Mrg15.
  4. Drosophila DmMRG15 gene function is required for female fertility, larval survival and adult life span, and provides reagents that should be useful for further dissecting the role of DmMRG15 in cell proliferation and aging.
