Somatic mutations altering EZH2 (Tyr641) in follicular and diffuse large B-cell lymphomas of germinal-center origin
2010
Marco Marra and colleagues identify somatic mutations in EZH2 in diffuse large B-cell lymphomas and follicular lymphomas. EZH2 is a histone methyltransferase that participates in trimethylation of H3 Lys27 (H3K27) as part of the PRC2 complex. The mutations alter a single tyrosine residue in the SET domain of EZH2 and reduce the ability of PRC2 to trimethylate H3K27 in vitro.
