ENZYME entry: EC 2.1.1.356

Accepted Name
[histone H3]-lysine(27) N-trimethyltransferase
Reaction catalysed
L-lysyl(27)-[histone H3] + 3 S-adenosyl-L-methionine <=> 3 H(+) + N(6),N(6),N(6)-trimethyl-L-lysyl(27)-[histone H3] + 3 S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine
Comment(s)
  • This entry describes enzymes that successively methylate the L-lysine(27) residue of histone H3 (H3K27), ultimately generating a trimethylated form.
  • These modifications influence the binding of chromatin-associated proteins.
  • The methylation of lysine(27) leads to transcriptional repression of the affected target genes.
  • The enzyme associates with other proteins to form a complex that is essential for activity.
  • The enzyme can also methylate some non-histone proteins. cf. EC 2.1.1.369 and EC 2.1.1.371.
