histone H3K9me2/3 reader activity
ID: GO_0062072
Class
A histone reader that recognizes a histone H3 trimethylated at lysine 9. In some organisms, there is only H3K9me2, not H3K9me3, but this modification is recognized by homologous readers.
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.
