SET domain enzymes represent a distinct family of protein lysine methyltransferases in eukaryotes. Recent studies have yielded significant insights into the structural basis of substrate recognition and the product specificities of these enzymes. However, the mechanism by which SET domain
Processive versus distributive methyl group transfer was assessed for pea Rubisco large subunit methyltransferase, a SET domain protein lysine methyltransferase catalyzing the formation of trimethyllysine-14 in the large subunit of Rubisco. Catalytically competent complexes between an immobilized form of des(methyl)
Although the mouse frequently is used to study metabolism and deficiencies therein, little is known about carnitine biosynthesis in this animal. To this point, only laborious procedures have been described to measure the activity of carnitine biosynthesis enzymes using subcellular

Histone modifications are implicated in epigenetic inheritance and are of central importance in regulating chromatin structure and gene expression. A prototype example is the trimethylation (Me3) of lysine 9 on histone 3 (H3), which is a readout by an aromatic

Core histones are susceptible to a range of post-translational modifications (PTMs), including acetylation, phosphorylation, methylation, and ubiquitination, which play important roles in the epigenetic control of gene expression. Here, we observed an unusual discrepancy between MALDI-MS/MS and ESI-MS/MS on the
