We previously identified SMYD3 as a histone methyltransferase and showed that its expression was elevated in colorectal, hepatocellular, and breast carcinomas. In the investigation of methyltransferase activity of SMYD3, we have found that vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 1 (VEGFR1) was also methylated by SMYD3. We further identified the methylated residue at VEGFR1 lysine 831, which is located in the kinase domain and is conserved among VEGFR1 orthologues. We also found that the lysine is followed by serine, which is conserved among some of the methylation targets of histone methyltransferases. Furthermore, methylation of VEGFR1 enhanced its kinase activity in cells. These data should be helpful for the profound understanding of the biological role of SMYD3 and regulatory mechanisms of VEGFR1. Additionally our finding may facilitate the development of strategies that may inhibit the progression of cancer cells.
