Here, we explore the determinants of methyllysine recognition by the PHD fingers of Set3 and its orthologs. We use X-ray crystallographic and spectroscopic approaches to show that the Set3 PHD finger binds di- and trimethylated states of H3K4 with comparable affinities and employs similar molecular mechanisms to form complexes with either mark. Composition of the methyllysine-binding pocket plays an essential role in determining the selectivity of the PHD fingers. The finding that the histone-binding activity is not conserved in the PHD finger of Set4 suggests different functions for the Set3 and Set4 paralogs.
