Structural basis of nucleosomal H4K20 recognition and methylation by SUV420H1 methyltransferase

Abstract Histone lysine methyltransferase SUV420H1, which is responsible for site-specific di-/tri-methylation of histone H4 lysine 20 (H4K20), has crucial roles in DNA-templated processes, including DNA replication, DNA damage repair, and chromatin compaction. Its mutations frequently occur in huma...
