Unraveling the Role of the Tyrosine Tetrad from the Binding Site of the Epigenetic Writer MLL3 in the Catalytic Mechanism and Methylation Multiplicity

MLL3, also known as KMT2C, is a lysine mono-methyltransferase in charge of the writing of an epigenetic mark on lysine 4 from histone 3. The catalytic site of MLL3 is composed of four tyrosines, namely, Y44, Y69, Y128, and Y130. Tyrosine residues are highly conserved among lysine methyltransferases’...
