Investigation and design of the dual specificity of the PRDM9 protein lysine methyltransferase
Abstract The PRDM9 protein lysine methyltransferase is essential in meiotic recombination where it trimethylates H3K4 and H3K36 in chromatin. However, it is not known how this enzyme can specifically methylate these two substrates despite their dissimilar amino acid sequences. Using biochemical and...
