Evolutionary history of histone demethylase families: distinct evolutionary patterns suggest functional divergence [PDF]
Background Histone methylation can dramatically affect chromatin structure and gene expression and was considered irreversible until recent discoveries of two families of histone demethylases, the KDM1 (previously LSD1) and JmjC domain-containing ...

H3K56me3 is a novel, conserved heterochromatic mark that largely but not completely overlaps with H3K9me3 in both regulation and localization. [PDF]
Histone lysine (K) methylation has been shown to play a fundamental role in modulating chromatin architecture and regulation of gene expression. Here we report on the identification of histone H3K56, located at the pivotal, nucleosome DNA entry/exit ...

Targeting epigenetic regulators to overcome drug resistance in cancers
Drug resistance is mainly responsible for cancer recurrence and poor prognosis. Epigenetic regulation is a heritable change in gene expressions independent of nucleotide sequence changes.

Histone demethylase AMX-1 is necessary for proper sensitivity to interstrand crosslink DNA damage.
Histone methylation is dynamically regulated to shape the epigenome and adjust central nuclear processes including transcription, cell cycle control and DNA repair.

Histone H4K20 Demethylation by Two hHR23 Proteins
Summary: Histone methyl groups can be removed by demethylases. Although LSD1 and JmjC domain-containing proteins have been identified as histone demethylases, enzymes for many histone methylation states or sites are still unknown.

Involvement of JMJ15 in the dynamic change of genome-wide H3K4me3 in response to salt stress
Post-translational histone modifications play important roles in regulating chromatin structure and transcriptional regulation. Histone 3 lysine 4 trimethylation (H3K4me3) is a prominent histone modification mainly associated with gene activation.

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