SETD5 directly deposits H3K36me3 on active gene bodies genome-wide; Setd5 inactivation in neural stem cells, zebrafish, and mice reduces H3K36me3, impairs RNA elongation dynamics, and causes abnormal transcription with defective RNA maturation and splicing. |

SETD5 co-immunoprecipitates with multiple components of the PAF1 co-transcriptional complex and the HDAC-containing NCoR co-repressor complex; in its absence, histone acetylation is increased at transcription start sites and downstream regions, indicating SETD5 regulates co-transcriptional histone acetylation rather than solely histone methylation. |

SETD5 lacks histone methyltransferase activity but functions as a scaffold for a co-repressor complex containing HDAC3 and G9a; this SETD5 complex silences gene expression to drive adaptive resistance to MEK1/2 inhibition in pancreatic cancer. |

SETD5 recruits the HDAC3 complex to the rDNA promoter, resulting in removal of H4K16ac and its reader protein TIP5 (a repressor of rDNA expression), thereby positively regulating rDNA transcription, translational activity, and neural cell proliferation; cyclin D1 mRNA translation is specifically down-regulated in SETD5-insufficient cells, and TIP5 ablation rescues these effects. |

SETD5 forms a complex with NCoR-HDAC3 that maintains enhancers for Cebpa and Pparg in a hypoacetylated primed state during early adipogenesis; APC/C-mediated ubiquitin-proteasome degradation of SETD5, triggered by CDC20 induction, releases this repression and enables enhancer hyperacetylation and adipogenic gene activation. |

SETD5 regulates HSC quiescence by mediating release of promoter-proximal paused RNA polymerase II (Pol II) on E2F target genes, and this function requires cooperation with HCF-1 and the PAF1 complex; Setd5-deficient HSCs show disrupted quiescence and exhaustion under transplantation pressure. |

SETD5 controls Sema3A expression independently of its SET domain and co-immunoprecipitates with the bromodomain protein BRD2; both SETD5 and BRD2 bind to the transcription start site and upstream promoter regions of the Sema3a locus, and BRD2 is required for SETD5-mediated regulation of Sema3A. |

The SET domain of SETD5 is essential for both retinal cell survival and proliferation; a truncation mutant (SETD5S1257*) that cannot interact with HDAC3 and PAF1 complexes rescues proliferation but not apoptosis caused by Setd5 knockdown, indicating the SETD5–HDAC3/PAF1 interaction is specifically required for the pro-survival function. |

SETD5 methylates nuclear LC3B at lysines 5 and 65, causing its nuclear retention; methylated LC3B then binds transcription factor PRDM10 at promoters of ATG genes (ATG2a, ATG7, ATG12, ATG16L1), suppressing their transcription and reducing autophagosome formation in ovarian cancer cells. |

SETD5 as H3K36me3 writer facilitates METTL14-dependent m6A modification and YTHDF1 recruitment to PKM2 mRNA, mediating PKM2 nuclear translocation and phosphorylation (Tyr105), which regulates GPX4-mediated ferroptosis resistance and SOX9-mediated stemness in NSCLC. |

miR-126-5p represses SETD5 expression in endothelial cells; loss of SETD5 repression (via target protectors blocking miR-126-5p/SetD5 mRNA pairing) reduces leucocyte adhesion, identifying SetD5 as a functional target of miR-126-5p that promotes leucocyte adhesion when expressed. |

TBLR1 physically connects SETD5 and ANKRD11 to the NCoR complex, forming an assembly that resembles the yeast SET3 complex (SET3C); pathogenic missense mutations in SETD5 disrupt this assembly; an engineered mutation specifically abolishing SETD5 incorporation into SET3C causes severe developmental impairments in mice; SET3C disruption produces highly correlated gene expression changes including upregulation of highly transcribed genes. |

ANKRD11 interacts with the Setd5 promoter and recruits WDR5 (a component of the H3K4 methyltransferase complex) to promote H3K4 methylation and SETD5 transcription; ANKRD11-deficient neural cells have reduced H3K4 methylation at the Setd5 promoter, reduced SETD5 expression, and consequently reduced rRNA and translation, which is rescued by SETD5 overexpression. |
