ENZYME entry: EC 1.14.11.66

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