===Crystal Structure of the two MBT repeats from Sex-Comb on Midleg (SCM) in complex with peptide R-(me)K-S===

~~==Overview==~~

<!--

~~Sex comb on midleg (Scm) is a member of~~ the ~~Polycomb group of proteins involved in~~ the ~~maintenance of repression of Hox and other developmental control genes in Drosophila. The two malignant brain tumour~~ (~~MBT) repeats of Scm form a domain that preferentially binds to monomethylated lysine residues either~~ as ~~a free amino acid or in the context of peptides, while unmodified or di- or trimethylated lysine residues are bound with significantly lower affinity~~. The crystal structure of a monomethyl-lysine-containing histone tail peptide bound to the MBT repeat domain shows that the methyl-lysine side chain occupies a binding pocket in the second MBT repeat formed by three conserved aromatic residues and one aspartate. ~~Insertion of the monomethylated side chain into this pocket seems to be the main contributor to~~ the ~~binding affinity~~. ~~Functional analyses in Drosophila show that the MBT domain of Scm and its methyl~~-~~lysine~~-~~binding activity are required for repression of Hox genes.~~
