The human homolog, which physically interacts with protein arginine methyltransferase 5 (PRMT5), is essential for cell survival.[7] It also recruits a SET2 histone methyltransferase (Huntingtin-interacting protein HYPB, also known as SETD2) to RNAPII during transcription elongation and is required for H3K36 trimethylation.[8]
