Fig. 1

a Setdb1 gene structure containing a Tudor domain, encoding protein MBD binding domain. The SET domain contains a ubiquitination (Ub) site on lysine-867. b SETDB1/KAP1/KRAB-Zfp complex. SETDB1 interacts with KAP1 and is recruited by KRAB-Zfp in a sequence-specific manner. The H3K9me3 signal is established and recognized by HP-1; together with other repressive signals from the SIN3A/HDAC1/2 corepressor complex and the Mi-2/NuRD (nucleosome remodeling deacetylase) local transcriptional repression is established. c SETDB1/MBD-1/ATF7IP complex mediates the interaction between H3K9me3 and DNA methylation. DNA methyltransferases (DNMTs) also interacts with SETDB1.
