collection_id | Molecular function |
Exact synonym | histone H3K4 dimethylase activity, histone lysine N-dimethyltransferase activity (H3-K4 specific) |
Description | Catalysis of the reaction: L-lysyl4-[histone H3] + 2 S-adenosyl-L-methionine = 2 H+ + N6,N6-dimethyl-L-lysyl4-[histone H3] + 2 S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine. This reaction is the successive addition of two methyl groups to the unmethylated lysine residue at position 4 of histone H3, producing histone H3K4me2. |
