Structure of histone H3 K4-specific methyltransferase SET7/9
Overview
The SET domain contains the catalytic center of lysine methyltransferases, that target the N-terminal tails of histones and regulate chromatin, function. Here we report the structure of the SET7/9 protein in the, absence and presence of its cofactor product, S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine, (AdoHcy). A knot within the SET domain helps form the methyltransferase, active site, where AdoHcy binds and lysine methylation is likely to occur., A structure-guided comparison of sequences within the SET protein family, suggests that the knot substructure and active site environment are, conserved features of the SET domain.
