“…Mutations of the Y641 residue within the catalytic SET domain of EZH2 occur in 22% of diffuse large B-cell lymphomas (DLBCLs) and follicular lymphomas (FL) [38,39] , and 8%-24% of non-Hodgkin lym phomas (NHL) [40] . Homology modeling [41,42] and the solved apo-structure of the EZH2 SET domain [43,44] have disclosed Y641 as a key amino acid for substrate specificity. Mutations of Y641 into other smaller amino acids, such as phenylalanine (F), serine (S), histidine (H) and cysteine (C) resulted in changes in pocket dimensions, as well as hydrogen bonding, which allowed the free rotation of H3K27me2 and subsequent tri-methylation to H3K27me3 (a transcriptionally repressive mark) and led to repression of key tumor suppressor genes [45,46] .…”
