| - | The human lysine methyltransferase (HKMT) SET7/9 is 366 amino acids long. The overall structure looks like a dimer although it acts as a monomer. The structure is composed of the ΔSET7/9 domain. The ΔSET7/9 consists of the SET domain along with the pre- and post-SET regions. The pre- and post-SET regions are adjacent to SET domain and are cysteine rich. The pre-SET cysteine region is located near the N-terminal where the post-SET region is located near the C-terminal of the domain. These regions are said to play an important role in substrate recognition and enzymatic activity. | + | The human lysine methyltransferase (HKMT) SET7/9 is 366 amino acids long.

The SET domain is mostly defined by turns and loops with the few antiparallel β-sheets.3 Residues 337-349 form a β-hairpin that sticks out at a right angle to the surface of the enzyme. The following three residues (350-352) accommodate a sharp bend in the peptide chain and the end of the protein adopts an α-helical conformation.1 The two most defining features of the SET domain are the C-terminal tyrosine and the knot-like fold. These two components have been recognized to be essential for S-adenosyl-L-methionine (SAM) binding and catalysis.3,4,5 The knot-like fold contains the binding sites for the cofactor SAM and the peptide substrate.2 | The SET domain is mostly defined by turns and loops with the few antiparallel β-sheets.3 Residues 337-349 form a β-hairpin that sticks out at a right angle to the surface of the enzyme.

The most notable feature of the HKMT is the presence of the lysine access channel.1 The cofactor and peptide substrate are actually located on opposite sides of the SET domain. This narrow channel allows these two components to interact and complete the methyltransfer. Two tyrosine residues, Tyr335 and Tyr337, are important for the formation of this channel. The β-hairpin stabilizes the conformation of these two residues and contributes to the peptide binding groove. The peptide binding groove is composed of residues 255-268. | The most notable feature of the HKMT is the presence of the lysine access channel.1 The cofactor and peptide substrate are actually located on opposite sides of the SET domain.
