Abstract

Background: The MLL1 core complex mono-and dimethylates histone H3 lysine 4 (H3K4). Results: MLL1 automethylates a conserved cysteine residue in its active site cleft. Conclusion: MLL1 automethylation is inhibited by unmodified histone H3 but not by histones previously mono-, di-, or trimethylated at H3K4.
