The Discovery of Histone Demethylases [PDF]

open access: yesCold Spring Harbor Perspectives in Biology, 2013
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 ...

Expressions of m6A methyltransferases and their associations with microR-21 and transforming growth factor-β1 in kidney of rats exposed to cadmium

open access: yes环境与职业医学, 2022
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.

Genome-wide identification of the AlkB homologs gene family, PagALKBH9B and PagALKBH10B regulated salt stress response in Populus

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2022
The AlkB homologs (ALKBH) gene family regulates N6-methyladenosine (m6A) RNA methylation and is involved in plant growth and the abiotic stress response. Poplar is an important model plant for studying perennial woody plants.

Identification and gene expression analysis of cytosine-5 DNA methyltransferase and demethylase genes in Amaranthus cruentus L. under heavy metal stress

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2023
Amaranth has become increasingly popular due to its highly nutritious grains and ability to tolerate environmental stress. The mechanism underlying defense and adaptation to environmental stress is a complicated process involving DNA methylation and ...

DNA Methylation on N6-Adenine Regulates the Hyphal Development during Dimorphism in the Early-Diverging Fungus Mucor lusitanicus

open access: yesJournal of Fungi, 2021
The epigenetic modifications control the pathogenicity of human pathogenic fungi, which have been poorly studied in Mucorales, causative agents of mucormycosis.

Demethylases Go Mental [PDF]

open access: yesMolecular Cell, 2010
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

open access: yesBiomedicines, 2022
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

open access: yesOncotarget, 2016
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

open access: yesFrontiers in Oncology, 2023
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.
