Product Overview

Tag GST
Host Species Human
Accession BC113469
Synonym NSD3, DC28, FLJ20353, pp14328
Background Histone-lysine N-methyltransferase NSD3 or Wolf-Hirschhorn syndrome candidate 1-like protein 1 (WHSC1L1) is a nuclear receptor binding SET domain (NSD) protein that belongs to a family of three histone methyltransferases including NSD1, NSD2/MMSET/WHSC1, and NSD3/WHSC1L1. Preferentially methylates 'Lys-4' and 'Lys-27' of histone H3. H3 'Lys-4' methylation represents a specific tag for epigenetic transcriptional activation, while 'Lys-27' is a mark for transcriptional repression.

Target Details

Target Function Histone methyltransferase. Preferentially dimethylates 'Lys-4' and 'Lys-27' of histone H3 forming H3K2me2 and H3K27me2. H3 'Lys-4' methylation represents a specific tag for epigenetic transcriptional activation, while 'Lys-27' is a mark for transcriptional repression.
Subcellular Location Nucleus. Chromosome.
Protein Families Class V-like SAM-binding methyltransferase superfamily, Histone-lysine methyltransferase family, SET2 subfamily
Database References
Associated Diseases Defects in NSD3 may be involved in non small cell lung carcinomas (NSCLC). Amplified or overexpressed in NSCLC.
Tissue Specificity Highly expressed in brain, heart and skeletal muscle. Expressed at lower level in liver and lung.

Gene Functions References

  1. Studies showed that depletion of NSD3 in osteosarcoma cell lines inhibited cell proliferation and survival, and induced cell apoptosis. RNA sequence analysis of tumor cell lines with NSD3 deletion revealed that NSD3 functions as either a transcriptional activator or a repressor. These results suggest that NSD3 may function as an oncogenic driver in osteosarcoma. PMID: 28901481
  2. Results extend the in vitro results and show that targeted expression of NSD3 to the mammary gland of FVB mice is oncogenic, consistent with the hypothesis that NSD3 is an important driver oncogene in human breast cancer. PMID: 28484924
  3. WHSC1L1 and H3K36me2 are enriched in the gene bodies of the cell cycle-related genes CDC6 and CDK2, implying that WHSC1L1 directly regulates the transcription of these gene PMID: 27285764
  4. This study demonstrates that over-expression of WHSC1L1 is linked to over-expression of ER-alpha in SUM-44 breast cancer cells and in primary human breast cancers. PMID: 27005559
  5. Studies indicate that the NSD methyltransferases NSD1, NSD2/WHSC1/MMSET and NSD3/WHSC1L1 were overexpressed, amplified or somatically mutated in multiple types of cancer, suggesting their critical role in cancer. PMID: 25942451
  6. Results demonstrate that the AML maintenance function of BRD4 requires its interaction with the short isoform of NSD3 lacking the methyltransferase domain. This protein is an adaptor that sustains leukemia by linking BRD4 to the CHD8 chromatin remodeler. PMID: 26626481
  7. The results describe the binding of NSD1, 2 and 3 catalytic domains (CD) on histone tails through recognition of histone-lysine and methylation properties. PMID: 25494638
  8. The involvement of the NSD3 methyltransferase as a component of the NUT fusion protein oncogenic complex identifies a new potential therapeutic target. PMID: 24875858
  9. PPAPDC1B and WHSC1L1 played a major role in regulating the survival of breast cancer, pancreatic adenocarcinoma and small-cell lung cancer-derived cell lines. PMID: 24051013
  10. Data indicate that siRNA attenuated the expression levels of CCNG1 and NEK7, implying that WHSC1L1 appears to activate the expression of CCNG1 and NEK7 in cancer cells. PMID: 23011637
  11. methyltransferase NSD3 has chromatin-binding motifs, PHD5-C5HCH, that are distinct from other NSD (nuclear receptor SET domain) family members in their histone H3 recognition PMID: 23269674
  12. Functional studies with Brd4 indicate that the ET domain mediates pTEFb-independent transcriptional activation through a subset of these associated factors, including NSD3. PMID: 21555454
  13. Overexpression of WHSC1L1 gene is associated with breast cancer. PMID: 20940404
  14. NSD3L depletion increased the invasiveness of MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cells indicating that NSD3L normally restrain cellular metastatic potential. Together the presented data indicates that NSD3L is a candidate tumor suppressor. PMID: 20599755

Proteins are sensitive to heat, and freeze-drying can preserve the activity of the majority of proteins. It improves protein stability, extends storage time, and reduces shipping costs. However, freeze-drying can also lead to the loss of the active portion of the protein and cause aggregation and denaturation issues. Nonetheless, these adverse effects can be minimized by incorporating protective agents such as stabilizers, additives, and excipients, and by carefully controlling various lyophilization conditions.

Commonly used protectant include saccharides, polyols, polymers, surfactants, some proteins and amino acids etc. We usually add 8% (mass ratio by volume) of trehalose and mannitol as lyoprotectant. Trehalose can significantly prevent the alter of the protein secondary structure, the extension and aggregation of proteins during freeze-drying process; mannitol is also a universal applied protectant and fillers, which can reduce the aggregation of certain proteins after lyophilization.

Our protein products do not contain carrier protein or other additives (such as bovine serum albumin (BSA), human serum albumin (HSA) and sucrose, etc., and when lyophilized with the solution with the lowest salt content, they often cannot form A white grid structure, but a small amount of protein is deposited in the tube during the freeze-drying process, forming a thin or invisible transparent protein layer.

Reminder: Before opening the tube cap, we recommend that you quickly centrifuge for 20-30 seconds in a small centrifuge, so that the protein attached to the tube cap or the tube wall can be aggregated at the bottom of the tube. Our quality control procedures ensure that each tube contains the correct amount of protein, and although sometimes you can't see the protein powder, the amount of protein in the tube is still very precise.
