Facts about Histone-lysine N-methyltransferase EHMT1.
Also weakly methylates 'Lys-27' of histone H3 (H3K27me). Also required for DNA methylation, the histone methyltransferase activity isn't required for DNA methylation, suggesting that these 2 activities function independently.

PMID: 15774718 by Tachibana M., et al. Histone methyltransferases G9a and GLP form heteromeric complexes and are both crucial for methylation of euchromatin at H3-K9.
