ID 1.14.11.65 DE [histone H3]-dimethyl-L-lysine(9) demethylase. CA 2 2-oxoglutarate + N(6),N(6)-dimethyl-L-lysyl(9)-[histone H3] + 2 O2 = CA 2 CO2 + 2 formaldehyde + L-lysyl(9)-[histone H3] + 2 succinate. CC -!- Requires iron(II). CC -!- This entry describes a group of enzymes that demethylate N-methylated CC Lys-9 residues in the tail of the histone protein H3 (H3K9). CC -!- This lysine residue can exist in three methylation states (mono-, CC di- and trimethylated), but this group of enzymes only act on the the CC di- and mono-methylated forms. CC -!- The enzymes are dioxygenases and act by hydroxylating the methyl CC group, forming an unstable hemiaminal that leaves as formaldehyde, CC cf. EC 1.14.11.66.
