Crystal Structure of Human Histone-Lysine N-methyltransferase SMYD3 in Complex with S-adenosyl-L-methionine

Function

[SMYD3_HUMAN] Histone methyltransferase. Specifically methylates 'Lys-4' and 'Lys-5' of histone H3, inducing di- and tri-methylation, but not monomethylation. Plays an important role in transcriptional activation as a member of an RNA polymerase complex. Binds DNA containing 5'-CCCTCC-3' or 5'-GAGGGG-3' sequences.^{[1] [2]}
