This is histone H3 (1-21) dimethylated at Lys9. Methylation of Lys 9 is associated with transcriptionally silent chromatin. Histone H3 mono- and dimethylated at Lys 9 localize specifically to silent domains within euchromatin while histone H3 trimethylated at this residue localizes to pericentric heterochromatin.
