'''Histone methyltransferase''' (HMT) are '''histone-lysine N-methyltransferase''' (KHMT) and '''histone-arginine N-methyltransferase''' (RHMT) which catalyzes the transfer of methyl groups to lysine and arginine residues of histones<ref>PMID:15248813</ref>. HMT use S-adenosyl methionine (SAM) or S-adenosyl homocysteine (SAH) as the methyl donor. KHMT can be SET domain-containing or non-SET domain-containing. The SET domain contains the catalytic core of KHMT and targets the lysine tail region of KHMT. CxxC domain is a zinc finger domain. | '''Histone methyltransferase''' (HMT) are '''histone-lysine N-methyltransferase''' (KHMT) and '''histone-arginine N-methyltransferase''' (RHMT) which catalyzes the transfer of methyl groups to lysine and arginine residues of histones<ref>PMID:15248813</ref>.
