PRDM11 Proteins and Enzymes

The newly discovered family of PR domain genes is involved in tumorigenesis. Similar to acetylation and phosphorylation, histone methylation at the N-terminal tail has emerged as an important role in regulating chromatin dynamics and gene activity. Histone methylation occurs on arginine and lysine residues and is catalyzed by two families of proteins, the protein arginine methyltransferase family and the SET-domain containing methyltransferase family. Five members have been identified in the ...
