H3K27 Demethylases, at Long Last [PDF]
Cell, 2007 Methylation of lysine 27 on histone H3 (H3K27me) by the Polycomb complex (PRC2) proteins is associated with gene silencing in many developmental processes. A cluster of recent papers (Agger et al., 2007; De Santa et al., 2007; Lan et al., 2007; Lee et al., 2007) identify the JmjC-domain proteins UTX and JMJD3 as H3K27-specific demethylases that remove ...

SMARCA4 deficient tumours are vulnerable to KDM6A/UTX and KDM6B/JMJD3 blockade
Nature Communications, 2021 SMARCA4 is commonly inactivated in lung and ovarian cancers. Here the authors show that SMARCA4-deficient tumours have significantly reduced levels of the histone demethylases KDM6s and a strong dependency on these demethylases for tumour growth, so that

Histone Demethylase LSD1 Regulates Adipogenesis [PDF]
Journal of Biological Chemistry, 2010 Epigenetic mechanisms, in particular the enzymatic modification of histones, are a crucial element of cell differentiation, a regulated process that allows a precursor cell basically to turn into a different cell type while maintaining the same genetic equipment.

Molecular Genetics & Genomic Medicine, 2019 Background The observed mutations in cancer are the result of ~30 mutational processes, which stamp particular mutational signatures (MS). Nevertheless, it is still not clear which genomic alterations correlate to several MS.

JMJD3 promotes survival of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma subtypes via distinct mechanisms. [PDF]
, 2016 JMJD3 (Jumonji domain containing-3), a histone H3 Lys27 (H3K27) demethylase, has been reported to be involved in the antigen-driven differentiation of germinal center B-cells.

Epigenetics, 2017 Accumulating evidence has recently shown that protein methyltransferases and demethylases are crucial regulators in either maintaining pluripotent states or inducing differentiation of embryonic stem cells. These enzymes control pluripotent signatures by

Current Perspectives on Histone Demethylases [PDF]
Acta Biochimica et Biophysica Sinica, 2007 The posttranslational modification of histones plays an important role in chromatin regulation. Histone methylation influences constitutive heterochromatin, genomic imprinting, X-chromosome inactivation and gene transcription. Histone demethylase catalyzes the removal of methyl groups on lysine or arginine residues of histones.

The histone H3K4 demethylase JARID1A directly interacts with haematopoietic transcription factor GATA1 in erythroid cells through its second PHD domain [PDF]
, 2020 Chromatin remodelling and transcription factors play important roles in lineage commitment and development through control of gene expression. Activation of selected lineage-specific genes and repression of alternative lineage-affiliated genes results in
