Significance T cells control many immune functions, with Th17 cells critical in regulating inflammation. Following activation, T cells undergo metabolic reprogramming and utilize glycolysis to increase the ATP availability.

JMJD family proteins in cancer and inflammation
The occurrence of cancer entails a series of genetic mutations that favor uncontrollable tumor growth. It is believed that various factors collectively contribute to cancer, and there is no one single explanation for tumorigenesis.

Epigenetic regulation of Epichloë festucae secondary metabolite biosynthesis and symbiotic interaction with Lolium perenne : a thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Genetics at Massey University, Palmerston North, New Zealand [PDF]
Histone methylation is one of several epigenetic layers for transcriptional regulation. Most studies on the importance of this histone modification in regulating fungal secondary metabolite gene expression and pathogenicity have focussed on the role of

A role for SUMO modification in transcriptional repression and activation [PDF]
Since the discovery of the SUMO (small ubiquitin-like modifier) family of proteins just over a decade ago, a plethora of substrates have been uncovered including many regulators of transcription.

Histone Demethylases as Counterbalance to H3K27me3 Silencing in Plants
Summary The universal importance of epigenetic regulation has become explicit over the last decade. There is now a detailed understanding of the molecular signatures and chromatin-modifying enzymes determining epigenetic regulation.

Structural insight into inhibitors of flavin adenine dinucleotide-dependent lysine demethylases
Until 2004, many researchers believed that protein methylation in eukaryotic cells was an irreversible reaction. However, the discovery of lysine-specific demethylase 1 in 2004 drastically changed this view and the concept of chromatin regulation.

Histone demethylases regulate adipocyte thermogenesis [PDF]
Adipocytes play a pivotal role in the regulation of energy metabolism. While white adipocyte stores energy, brown adipocyte dissipates energy by producing heat. In addition, another type of heat-producing adipocyte, beige adipocyte, emerges in white adipose tissue in response to chronic coldness.

KDM2 is a H3K4me3 demethylase regulating nucleolar organization [PDF]
Background CG11033 (dKDM2) is the Drosophila homolog of the gene KDM2B. dKDM2 has been known to possess histone lysine demethylase activity towards H3K36me2 in cell lines and it regulates H2A ubiquitination.

Genome-Wide Identification of DNA Methylases and Demethylases in Kiwifruit (Actinidia chinensis)
DNA methylation plays an important role in a wide range of developmental and physiological processes in plants. It is primarily catalyzed and regulated by cytosine-5 DNA methyltransferases (C5-MTases) and a group of DNA glycosylases that act as ...
