Histone H3K36 methylation is well-known for its role in active transcription. In Saccharomyces cerevisiae, H3K36 methylation is mediated solely by SET2 during transcription elongation. In metazoans, multiple H3K36-specific methyltransferases exist and contribute to distinct biochemical activities and subsequent functions. In this review, we focus on the H3K36-specific histone methyltransferases in metazoans, and discuss their enzymatic activity regulation and their roles in antagonizing Polycomb silencing and safeguarding transcription fidelity.
