ssK36

Description

ssK36 is a supersubstrate peptide of the histone methyltransferase SET domain protein 2 SETD2 , and ssK36 is designed for the SETD2 protein, a specific PKMT. ssK36 is responsible in human cells for adding methyl groups to the 36th lysine residue of histone H3 H3K36 to form H3K36me3. ssK36 can be methylated by SETD2 at a rate more than 100 times faster than the natural substrate H3K36. ssK36 can be used to study the catalytic mechanism of PKMTs, especially substrate specificity and catalytic efficiency.
