Abstract

© 2017 The Royal Society of Chemistry. Histone lysine methylation is regulated by N ϵ -methyltransferases, demethylases, and N ϵ -methyl lysine binding proteins. Thermodynamic, catalytic and computational studies were carried out to investigate the interaction of three epigenetic protein classes with synthetic histone substrates containing l- and d-lysine residues. The results reveal that out of the three classes, N ϵ -methyl lysine binding proteins are superior in accepting lysines with the d-configuration.
