Term Name: histone H3K4 monomethyltransferase activity
Synonyms: histone H3K4 monomethylase activity, histone H4-K4 methylation, histone H4K4 methylation, histone lysine N-monomethyltransferase activity (H3-K4 specific)
Definition: Catalysis of the reaction: L-lysyl4-[histone H3] + S-adenosyl-L-methionine = H+ + N6-methyl-L-lysyl4-[histone H3] + S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine. This reaction is the addition of a single methyl group to the unmethylated lysine residue at position 4 of histone H3, producing histone H3K4me.
