ABSTRACT
Although central to regulating the access to genetic information, most lysine methyltransferases remain poorly characterised relative to other family of enzymes. Herein, we report new substrates for the lysine methyltransferase SETD6. Based on the SETD6- catalysed site on the histone variant H2AZ, we identified similar sequences in the canonical histones H2A, H3, and H4 that are modified by SETD6 in vitro, and putative non-histone substrates. We herein expend the repertoire of substrates for methylation by SETD6.
