---|---|
Synonyms: | histone dimethyl-lysine(H3K9) N-methyltransferase activity (H3-K9 specific), histone H3-K9 trimethylation, histone H3K9 trimethylation, histone H3K9me2 methylase activity |
Definition: | Catalysis of the reaction: N6,N6-dimethyl-L-lysyl9-[histone H3] + S-adenosyl-L-methionine = H+ + N6,N6,N6-trimethyl-L-lysyl9-[histone H3] + S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine. This reaction is the addition of a single methyl group to the dimethylated lysine residue at position 9 of histone H3, producing histone H3K9me3. |
