| Primary Identifier | IPR044428 | Type | Domain |
| Short Name | SETD3_SET |
| description | This entry represents the SET domain found in SETD3 and related proteins.SETD3 is a protein-histidine N-methyltransferase that specifically mediates methylation of actin at 'His-73' []. It was initially reported to have histone methyltransferase activity and methylate 'Lys-4' and 'Lys-36' of histone H3 (H3K4me and H3K36me). However, this conclusion was based on mass spectrometry data wherein mass shifts were inconsistent with a bona fide methylation event. In vitro, the protein-lysine methyltransferase activity is weak compared to the protein-histidine methyltransferase activity []. |
