UniProtKB description:  Protein-lysine N-methyltransferase that monomethylates both histones and non-histone proteins (PubMed:12086618, PubMed:12121615, PubMed:15964846, PubMed:17707234, PubMed:27338793). Specifically monomethylates 'Lys-20' of histone H4 (H4K20me1) (PubMed:12086618, PubMed:12121615, PubMed:15200950, PubMed:15933069, PubMed:15933070, PubMed:15964846, PubMed:16517599, PubMed:27338793). H4K20me1 is enriched during mitosis and represents a specific tag for epigenetic transcriptional repression (PubMed:12086618, PubMed:12121615, PubMed:15200950, PubMed:15933069, PubMed:15933070, PubMed:15964846, PubMed:16517599). Mainly functions in euchromatin regions, thereby playing a central role in the silencing of euchromatic genes (PubMed:12086618, PubMed:12121615, PubMed:15200950, PubMed:15933069, PubMed:15933070, PubMed:15964846, PubMed:16517599). Required for cell proliferation, probably by contributing to the maintenance of proper higher-order structure of DNA during mitosis (PubMed:12086618, PubMed:12121615, PubMed:15200950, PubMed:15933069, PubMed:15933070, PubMed:15964846, PubMed:16517599). Involved in chromosome condensation and proper cytokinesis (PubMed:12086618, PubMed:12121615, PubMed:15200950, PubMed:15933069, PubMed:15933070, PubMed:15964846, PubMed:16517599). Nucleosomes are preferred as substrate compared to free histones (PubMed:12086618, PubMed:12121615, PubMed:15200950, PubMed:15933069, PubMed:15933070, PubMed:15964846, PubMed:16517599). Mediates monomethylation of p53/TP53 at 'Lys-382', leading to repress p53/TP53-target genes (PubMed:17707234). Plays a negative role in TGF-beta response regulation and a positive role in cell migration (PubMed:23478445).
