SMYD2‐mediated TRAF2 methylation promotes the NF‐κB signaling pathways in inflammatory diseases

Abstract Background The methylation of lysine residues has been involved in the multiple biological and diseases processes. Recently, some particular non‐histone proteins have been elucidated to be methylated by SMYD2, a SET and MYND domain protein with lysine methyltransferase activity. Methods SMY...
