Background:
Histone H3K9Me2 (3-17) is a peptide fragment of histone H3 that corresponds to amino acid residues 4-18 of the human histone H3 sequence. Dimethylation of histone H3 at lysine 9 is associated with transcriptional repression.1 Heterochromatin protein 1-α (HP1-α), HP1-β, and HP1-γ selectively bind histone H3 N-terminal peptides containing dimethylated lysine 9 over unmodified lysine 9.2 In mouse embryos, maternal chromatin containing H3K9Me2 is bound by PGC7, which preserves DNA methylation and protects 5-methylcytosine from conversion to 5-hydroxymethylcytosine.3
