Name
histone H4K20 methyltransferase activity [GO_0042799] Class
Alternative Names
  • has_broad_synonym: histone H4K20 methylase activity
  • has_exact_synonym: histone lysine N-methyltransferase activity (H4-K20 specific)
  • has_exact_synonym: histone H4 lysine 20-specific methyltransferase activity
  • has_exact_synonym: histone methyltransferase activity (H4-K20 specific)
  • has_exact_synonym: histone-H4K20 methyltransferase activity
  • has_exact_synonym: histone H4K20 methylation
  • has_exact_synonym: histone methylase activity (H4-K20 specific)
Description
Catalysis of the reaction: S-adenosyl-L-methionine + histone H4 L-lysine (position 20) = S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine + histone H4 N6-methyl-L-lysine (position 20). This reaction is the addition of a methyl group to the lysine residue at position 20 of the histone H4 protein.
Comment
Note that in some species, the methyl group may be added to a lysine in a slightly different position of the histone H4 protein, but that this term still applies.
