histone H3K79 dimethyltransferase activity [GO_0120506]
Catalysis of the reaction: L-lysyl79-[histone H3] + 2 S-adenosyl-L-methionine = 2H+ + N6,N6-methyl-L-lysyl79-[histone H3] + 2 S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine.
histone H3K79 dimethyltransferase activity
ID: GO_0120506
Class
Catalysis of the reaction: L-lysyl79-[histone H3] + 2 S-adenosyl-L-methionine = 2H+ + N6,N6-methyl-L-lysyl79-[histone H3] + 2 S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine.
Comment: Note that the residue position corresponds to the canonical human H3 histone (UniProtKB:P84243); this residue is conserved across all eukaryotes. Residue 1 is the first residue following removal of the initiating Methionine (Met). Note that each histone is encoded by multiple genes, and sequences may vary across different genes within an organism.
