Overview

Methylation adds methyl groups to arginine and lysine residues, regulating transcription and signal transduction.

Types

  • Arginine methylation: Mono-, symmetric di-, or asymmetric di-methylation
  • Lysine methylation: Mono-, di-, or tri-methylation

Biological Significance

Histone methylation marks (H3K4me3, H3K27me3, H3K9me3) define active and silent chromatin states. EZH2 inhibitors target aberrant methylation in cancer.
