IUBMB Comments

This entry describes several enzymes that successively methylate the L-lysine9 residue of histone H3 (H3K9), ultimately generating a trimethylated form. These modifications influence the binding of chromatin-associated proteins. In general, the methylation of H3K9 leads to transcriptional repression of the affected target genes. cf. EC 2.1.1.367, [histone H3]-lysine9 N-methyltransferase, EC 2.1.1.368, [histone H3]-lysine9 N-dimethyltransferase, and EC 2.1.1.366, [histone H3]-N6,N6-dimethyl-lysine9 N-methyltransferase.

The enzyme appears in viruses and cellular organisms
