| description | In animals, histone-lysine N-methyltransferase SETD1A () is a histone methyltransferase that produces mono-, di-, and trimethylated histone H3 at 'Lys-4. However, if 'Lys-9' residue is already methylated, 'Lys-4' will not be. The 'Lys-4' methylation is a tag for epigenetic transcriptional activation [, ]. The SET1 complex contains either SETD1A or SETD1B.The SET1 complex is a methyltransferase that that produces trimethylated histone H3 at Lys(4). It is composed of at least the catalytic subunit (SETD1A or SETD1B), WDR5, WDR82, RBBP5, ASH2L/ASH2, CXXC1/CFP1, HCFC1 and DPY30 []. In yeast there is only one SET1 complex, but in mammals there are additional H3K4 methylases []. |
