| Function |
Histone methyltransferase that specifically monomethylates 'Lys-37' of histone H3 (H3K27me1). Has higher activity on nucleosomes containing H3.1 than H3.3. Involved in the formation of constitutive heterochromatin and the silencing of heterochromatic elements. May act as a positive regulator of the G1-S transition. Influences which sets of rRNA gene variants are expressed or silenced. Up-regulated by E2FB. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:16771839, ECO:0000269|PubMed:19503079, ECO:0000269|PubMed:20631708, ECO:0000269|PubMed:22549957}.
