PHD finger found in histone-lysine N-methyltransferase ASH1L ASH1L, also termed ASH1-like protein, or absent small and homeotic disks protein 1 homolog, or lysine N-methyltransferase 2H, is a protein belonging to the Trithorax family. It methylates Lys36 of histone H3 independently of transcriptional elongation to promote the establishment of Hox gene expression by counteracting Polycomb silencing. It can suppress interleukin-6 (IL-6), and tumor necrosis factor (TNF) production in Toll-like receptor (TLR)-triggered macrophages, and inflammatory autoimmune diseases by inducing the ubiquitin-editing enzyme A20. ASH1L contains an associated with SET domain (AWS), a SET domain, a post-SET domain, a bromodomain, a bromo-adjacent homology domain (BAH), and a plant homeodomain (PHD) finger.
