SETD3 is an actin histidine-N 3 methyltransferase, whereas other characterized SET-domain enzymes are protein lysine methyltransferases. We report that in a pre-reactive complex SETD3 binds the N 3 -protonated form (N 3 -H) of actin His73, and in a post-reactive product complex, SETD3 generates the methylated histidine in an N 1 -protonated (N 1 -H) and N 3 -methylated form ...
