Lysine 79 of histone H3 can be mono-, di- or trimethylated by Dot1 methylase; methylation at this residue acts as a marker of inactive chromatin regions that are critical for transcriptional silencing, and it is thought that silencing proteins such as Sir3 function by blocking Dot1 methylation. DOT1L-mediated H3K79me2 modification drives cardiomyogenesis through the definition of a specific transcriptional landscape.
