Chemical basis for the recognition of trimethyllysine by epigenetic reader proteins
2015
A structurally diverse set of epigenetic reader proteins can recognize methylated lysine residues on histones. Here the authors show that recognition of trimethyllysine occurs through a combination of favourable cation–π interactions and the release of water molecules occupying the aromatic cages of reader proteins.
