Product
S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine [CPD:
C00021 ];
[histone H3]-N6,N6,N6-trimethyl-L-lysine36;
[histone H3]-N6-methyl-L-lysine36;

Comment
The enzyme, characterized from yeast and mammals, catalyses the successive methylation of lysine36 of histone H3 (H3K36), forming the trimethylated form. These modifications influence the binding of chromatin-associated proteins. The enzyme couples the methylation reactions with transcriptional elongation through an interaction with the large subunit of RNA polymerase II. cf. EC
2.1.1.357 , [histone H3]-lysine36 N-dimethyltransferase.
History
EC 2.1.1.359 created 1976 as EC 2.1.1.43, modified 1982, modified 1983, part transferred 2019 to EC 2.1.1.359
