Regulation and function of H3K9 methylation
Subcell Biochem.
2007.
Abstract
First histone lysine methyltransferase (HLMTase) was discovered in 2000. Since then, there are reports of dozens of novel HLMTases in different eukaryotes including plant, fungus, insect, nematode and vertebrate. The enzymes and their specific histone-lysine modifications have enormous impacts on the regulation of chromatin structure and function. Furthermore, various histone methyl-lysine demethylases (HLDMases) have been identified recently. In this chapter, histone H3 lysine 9 specific methyltransferases will be discussed as model enzymes involved in the regulation of chromatin function
