Biological description:Potent, selective cell-permeable dual inhibitor of EZH2 and EZH1 methyltransferase inhibitor (IC50 = 45 nM and 2 nM respectively) (Konze et al. ). Inhibits H3K27 methylation (IC50 = 124 nM, MCF10A cells). Competitive with the cofactor SAM, and non-competitive with the peptide substrate. Inhibition of EZH2 with UNC1999 enhanced the efficacy of gefitinib in suppressing the proliferation of colon cancer cells (Katona et al.). It suppresses global H3K27 trimethylation/demethylation and inhibits the growth of mixed lineage leukemia (MLL)-rearranged leukemia cells ( Xu et al.). Orally bioavailable.,

KMT6 also known as EZH2 (Enhancer of Zeste Homolog 2) is a protein that functions as a histone methyltransferase. It catalyzes the methylation of histone H3 on lysine 27 (H3K27) a modification associated with gene silencing. EZH2 is a component of the Polycomb Repressive Complex 2 (PRC2) which plays an important role in chromatin remodeling and transcriptional repression. The EZH2 protein has a molecular weight of approximately 87 kDa and its gene is located on chromosome 7. In terms of expression EZH2 is found in various tissues but is notably abundant in growing and dividing cells.
Biological function summary
EZH2 plays a central role in regulating gene expression during development and differentiation. It is a core component of the PRC2 complex which includes other proteins such as EED and SUZ12. Through its catalytic activity EZH2 contributes to the maintenance of the transcriptionally repressed state of genes influencing processes such as cell identity and proliferation. In many cell types EZH2-mediated gene silencing is necessary for normal development and dysregulation can lead to aberrant cellular processes.
Pathways
EZH2 participates in key regulatory networks notably the Wnt signaling pathway and the p53 pathway. Within the Wnt pathway EZH2's activity contributes to controlling gene expression that influences cellular differentiation and proliferation. Meanwhile interaction with the p53 pathway can impact the cellular response to stress and DNA damage highlighting EZH2’s regulatory dimension. Other proteins like β-catenin in the Wnt pathway interact with EZH2 reflecting its integration in these complex signaling networks.
EZH2 has been linked to cancer and other proliferative diseases. Overexpression or mutation of EZH2 is frequently observed in cancers such as prostate and breast cancer where it contributes to unchecked cell growth and tumor progression. In these contexts proteins like p53 can interact abnormally with EZH2 leading to failure in tumor suppression mechanisms. Additionally deregulated EZH2 activity is implicated in certain developmental disorders highlighting its broader impact on cellular and organismal homeostasis.
