Histone H3 is one of the core components of the nucleosome, the basic building block of chromatin. Histones are subject to a variety of chemical modifications, including post-translational modifications of the histone proteins and the methylation of cytosine residues in the DNA. Reported histone modifications include acetylation, methylation, phosphorylation, ubiquitylation, glycosylation, ADP-ribosylation, carbonylation and SUMOylation; these modifications play a major role in regulating gene expression. Methylation of lysines occur as four states: unmethylated (me0), monomethyl (me1), dimethyl (me2) and trimethyl (me3). The me0 state of lysine is recognized as biologically relevant and a number of proteins containing PhD fingers, ADD and WD40 domains are known to associate with unmodified lysines.
