EC 2.1.1.354     
Accepted name: [histone H3]-lysine4 N-trimethyltransferase
Reaction: 3 S-adenosyl-L-methionine + a [histone H3]-L-lysine4 = 3 S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine + a [histone H3]-N6,N6,N6-trimethyl-L-lysine4 (overall reaction)
(1a) S-adenosyl-L-methionine + a [histone H3]-L-lysine4 = S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine + a [histone H3]-N6-methyl-L-lysine4
(1b) S-adenosyl-L-methionine + a [histone H3]-N6-methyl-L-lysine4 = S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine + a [histone H3]-N6,N6-dimethyl-L-lysine4
(1c) S-adenosyl-L-methionine + a [histone H3]-N6,N6-dimethyl-L-lysine4 = S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine + a [histone H3]-N6,N6,N6-trimethyl-L-lysine4
Other name(s): KMT2H (gene name); KMT3C (gene name); KMT3D (gene name); KMT3E (gene name); PRDM9 (gene name); MLL5 (gene name); ASH1L (gene name); SMYD1 (gene name); SMYD2 (gene name); SMYD3 (gene name)
Systematic name: S-adenosyl-L-methionine:[histone H3]-L-lysine4 N6-trimethyltransferase
Comments: This entry describes several enzymes that successively methylate the L-lysine4 residue of histone H3 (H3K4), ultimately generating a trimethylated form. These modifications influence the binding of chromatin-associated proteins. In most cases the trimethylation of this position is associated with gene activation. EC 2.1.1.364, [histone H3]-lysine4 N-methyltransferase, describes enzymes that can catalyse only monomethylation of this substrate (the first sub-reaction of this entry); EC 2.1.1.370, [histone H3]-lysine4 N-dimethyltransferase, describes enzymes that catalyse only dimethylation of this substrate (the first two sub-reactions of this entry)
