Histone-lysine N-methyltransferase SUV39H1 is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the SUV39H1 gene.^[3]

Function

This gene is a member of the suppressor of variegation 3-9 homolog family and encodes a protein with a chromodomain and a C-terminal SET domain. This nuclear protein moves to the centromeres during mitosis and functions as a histone methyltransferase, methylating Lys-9 of histone H3. Overall, it plays a vital role in heterochromatin organization, chromosome segregation, and mitotic progression.^[4]

Interactions

SUV39H1 has been shown to interact with:

• CBX1,^[3]
• CBX5,^[5][6][7]
• DNMT3A,^[8]
• HDAC1,^[9]
• HDAC3,^[9]
• HDAC9,^[5]
• Histone deacetylase 2,^[9]
• MBD1,^[6]
• RUNX1,^[10]
• Retinoblastoma protein,^[11][12] and
• SBF1.^[13]
