Description |
H3K4 trimethylation is frequently associated with the promoters of actively transcribed genes. This modification can function to recruit chromatin remodeling and modifying complexes as well as the basal transcription machinery. SET domain lysine methyltransferases (KMTs) catalyze the site- and state-specific methylation of lysine residues in histone and non-histone substrates. The substrate and product specificities of SET domain KMTs are pivotal to eliciting these effects due to the distinct functions associated with site and state-specific protein lysine methylation.
