General annotation (Comments)

Function

Histone methyltransferase that specifically trimethylates 'Lys-9' of histone H3 using monomethylated H3 'Lys-9' as substrate. H3 'Lys-9' trimethylation represents a specific tag for epigenetic transcriptional repression by recruiting HP1 (CBX1, CBX3 and/or CBX5) proteins to methylated histones. Mainly functions in heterochromatin regions, thereby playing a central role in the establishment of constitutive heterochromatin at pericentric and telomere regions. H3 'Lys-9' trimethylation is also required to direct DNA methylation at pericentric repeats. SUV39H1 is targeted to histone H3 via its interaction with RB1 and is involved in many processes By similarity.

Catalytic activity

S-adenosyl-L-methionine + L-lysine-[histone] = S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine + N(6)-methyl-L-lysine-[histone].

Subcellular location

Nucleus By similarity. Chromosome › centromere By similarity. Note: Associates with centromeric constitutive heterochromatin By similarity.

Sequence similarities

Belongs to the histone-lysine methyltransferase family. Suvar3-9 subfamily.

Contains 1 chromo domain.

Contains 1 post-SET domain.

Contains 1 pre-SET domain.

Contains 1 SET domain.

Sequence caution

The sequence CAJ81421.1 differs from that shown. Reason: Erroneous initiation.
