ID 2.1.1.366 DE [histone H3]-N(6),N(6)-dimethyl-lysine(9) N-methyltransferase. CA N(6),N(6)-dimethyl-L-lysyl(9)-[histone H3] + S-adenosyl-L-methionine = CA H(+) + N(6),N(6),N(6)-trimethyl-L-lysyl(9)-[histone H3] + S-adenosyl-L- CA homocysteine. CC -!- The enzyme methylates only dimethylated lysine(9) of histone H3 CC (H3K9), forming the trimethylated form. CC -!- This modification influences the binding of chromatin-associated CC proteins. CC -!- In general, the methylation of H3K9 leads to transcriptional CC repression of the affected target genes. CC -!- The enzyme is highly up-regulated in Huntington disease patients. cf. CC EC 2.1.1.355, EC 2.1.1.367, and EC 2.1.1.368.
