The role of demethylase AlkB homologs in cancer

Frontiers 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.

Histone demethylase lysine demethylase 5B in development and cancer

Oncotarget, 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.

Chromatin and oxygen sensing in the context of JmjC histone demethylases [PDF]

, 2014
Responding appropriately to changes in oxygen availability is essential for multicellular organism survival. Molecularly, cells have evolved intricate gene expression programmes to handle this stressful condition.

PHF2 regulates homology-directed DNA repair by controlling the resection of DNA double strand breaks [PDF]

, 2020
Post-translational histone modifications and chromatin remodelling play a critical role controlling the integrity of the genome. Here, we identify histone lysine demethylase PHF2 as a novel regulator of the DNA damage response by regulating DNA damage ...

An H3K9 methylation-dependent protein interaction regulates the non-enzymatic functions of a putative histone demethylase

eLife, 2020
H3K9 methylation (H3K9me) specifies the establishment and maintenance of transcriptionally silent epigenetic states or heterochromatin. The enzymatic erasure of histone modifications is widely assumed to be the primary mechanism that reverses epigenetic ...
