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

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)

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

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
Andrew J Bannister et al.
The Journal of biological chemistry, 280(18), 17732-17736 (2005-03-12)
Methylation of lysine 4 of histone H3 (K4/H3) is linked to transcriptional activity, whereas methylation of K9/H3 is tightly associated with gene inactivity. These are well characterized sites of methylation within histones, but there are numerous other, less characterized, sites
