Methyl-CpG binding domains (MBD) present in putative histone methyltransferases (HMT) such as CLLD8 and SETDB1 proteins; CLLD8 contains a MBD, a PreSET and a bifurcated SET domain, suggesting that CLLD8 might be associated with methylation-mediated transcriptional repression. SETDB1 and other proteins in this group have a similar domain architecture. SETDB1 is a novel KAP-1-associated histone H3, lysine 9-specific methyltransferase that contributes to HP1-mediated silencing of euchromatic genes by KRAB zinc-finger proteins.
