This part belongs to the uniCAS toolkit of iGEM Team Freiburg 2013 and contains the SET domain of the murine G9a protein. This catalytically active domain is able to transfer methyl groups to lysine 9 of histone 3 (H3K9), which is part of every nucleosome. In regions of open chromatin structures H3K9 methylation can lead to chromatin condensation and thereby inactivation of the concerned locus. This G9a part alone contains the histone methyltransferase domain needed for transcriptional repression and can be combined with dCas9 Part:BBa_K1150000 to target different loci for transcriptional repression of gene expression.
