epitope corresponding to amino acids 166-220 of SUV39H1 of human origin
Modification Notes
Distinct modifications of histone tails, such as acetylation, phosphorylation and methylation, regulate nuclear processes by organizing the chromatin into higher order structures. Higher-order chromatin influences chromosome function and epigenetic gene regulation. Human and murine SUV39H1 are mammalian homologes of Drosophila Su(var)3-9 and of Schizosaccharomyces pombe clr4, which encode Histone H3-specific methyltransferases. SUV39H1, suppressor of variegation 3-9, selectively methylates Lysine 9 of the amino terminus of Histone H3 to generate a binding site for HP1 proteins. These HP1 proteins belong to a family of heterochromatic adaptor molecules that are implicated in both gene silencing and supra-nucleosomal chromatin structure. SUV39H1 contains both SET and chromo domains and is ubiquitously expressed. The enrichment of SUV39H1 at heterochromatic foci during interphase and centromere-specific localization during metaphase depends on the C-terminal SET domain. SUV39H1 is phosphorylated specifically at the G1/S cell cycle transition and, when forcibly expressed, suppresses cell growth. SUV39H1 acts as a long-range repressor that is capable of acting over several kilobases to silence basal promoters.
