IUBMB Comments

The enzyme methylates only dimethylated lysine9 of histone H3 (H3K9), forming the trimethylated form. This modification influences the binding of chromatin-associated proteins. In general, the methylation of H3K9 leads to transcriptional repression of the affected target genes. The enzyme is highly upregulated in Huntington disease patients. cf. EC 2.1.1.367, [histone H3]-lysine9 N-methyltransferase, and EC 2.1.1.368, [histone H3]-lysine9 N-dimethyltransferase, and EC 2.1.1.355, [histone H3]-lysine9 N-trimethyltransferase.

The enzyme appears in viruses and cellular organisms

Synonyms
kmt1e, erg-associated protein with set domain, more
