Histone Lysine N-Methyltransferase SUV39H1 Definition

The histone-lysine N-methyltransferase SUV39H1 (412 aa, 48 kD) is encoded by the human SUV39H1 gene. This soluble, nuclear protein plays a role in establishment of constitutive heterochromatin at pericentric and telomeric regions. Trimethylation of H3K9 is also required to direct DNA methylation at pericentric repeats.
