Abstract excerpt
The evolutionary conserved SET domain is present in many eukaryotic chromatin-associated proteins, including some members of the trithorax (TrxG) group and the polycomb (PcG) group of epigenetic transcriptional regulators and modifiers of position effect variegation. All SET domains examined exhibited histone lysine methyltransferase activity, implicating these proteins in the generation of epigenetic marks....
