Crystal structure of Arabidopsis thaliana SUVH6 in complex with methylated DNACrystal structure of Arabidopsis thaliana SUVH6 in complex with methylated DNA

Structural highlights

6a5n is a 3 chain structure. Full crystallographic information is available from OCA. For a guided tour on the structure components use FirstGlance.
Ligands:
NonStd Res:
Activity:Histone-lysine N-methyltransferase, with EC number 2.1.1.43
Resources:FirstGlance, OCA, PDBe, RCSB, PDBsum, ProSAT

Function

[SUVH6_ARATH] Histone methyltransferase. Methylates 'Lys-9' of histone H3. H3 'Lys-9' methylation represents a specific tag for epigenetic transcriptional repression. Seems to act preferentially on dsMRNA.[1] [2]
