The Discovery of Histone Demethylases [PDF]
Histone methylation is a key element of the eukaryotic epigenome. Since the discovery of the first histone demethylase (HDM) in 2004, more than 20 demethylases have been identified and characterized. They belong to either the LSD family or the JmjC family, demonstrating the reversibility of all methylation states at almost all major histone lysine ...

BackgroundEnvironmental pollutants can affect N6-methyladenosine (m6A) level in the body, but the change of m6A level in kidney after being exposed to cadmium (Cd) and the molecular mechanism of renal injury need to be further studied.

Histone-modifying enzymes require recruitment to specific genomic loci in order to elicit their effects. In this issue, Kleine-Kohlbrecher et al. reveal how a histone demethylase is targeted to specific genes, thereby providing mechanistic insight into recruitment and regulation.

The Roles and Regulation of m6A Modification in Glioblastoma Stem Cells and Tumorigenesis
Glioblastoma is the most common and most lethal primary malignant brain tumor. N6-methyladenosine (m6A) is a widespread and abundant internal messenger RNA (mRNA) modification found in eukaryotes.

Histone demethylase lysine demethylase 5B in development and cancer
Histone methylation is one of the most important chromatin posttranslational modifications. It has a range of influences on nuclear functions including epigenetic inheritance, transcriptional regulation and the maintenance of genome integrity. Changes in histone methylation status take part in various physiological and pathological processes.

The role of demethylase AlkB homologs in cancer
The AlkB family (ALKBH1-8 and FTO), a member of the Fe (II)- and α-ketoglutarate-dependent dioxygenase superfamily, has shown the ability to catalyze the demethylation of a variety of substrates, including DNA, RNA, and histones.
