Human PRDM9 allele-A ZnF Domain with Associated Recombination Hotspot DNA Sequence IIIHuman PRDM9 allele-A ZnF Domain with Associated Recombination Hotspot DNA Sequence III
Structural highlights
FunctionPRDM9_HUMAN Histone methyltransferase that specifically trimethylates 'Lys-4' of histone H3 during meiotic prophase and is essential for proper meiotic progression. Does not have the ability to mono- and dimethylate 'Lys-4' of histone H3. H3 'Lys-4' methylation represents a specific tag for epigenetic transcriptional activation. Plays a central role in the transcriptional activation of genes during early meiotic prophase (By similarity). See Also |
