Term Name histone-lysine N-methyltransferase activity
Term Accession GO:0018024
Aspect molecular_function
Synonyms (8) histone H1-specific S-adenosylmethionine:protein-lysine N-methyltransferase activity, histone-lysine N-methylase activity, protein (lysine) methyltransferase activity, protein methylase 3 activity, protein methylase III activity, protein methyltransferase II activity, S-adenosyl-L-methionine:histone-L-lysine 6-N-methyltransferase activity, S-adenosyl-L-methionine:histone-L-lysine N6-methyltransferase activity
Definition Catalysis of the reaction: S-adenosyl-L-methionine + histone L-lysine = S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine + histone N6-methyl-L-lysine. The methylation of peptidyl-lysine in histones forms N6-methyl-L-lysine, N6,N6-dimethyl-L-lysine and N6,N6,N6-trimethyl-L-lysine derivatives.
