| Accepted Name |
|---|
| [Histone H3]-trimethyl-L-lysine(9) demethylase.
|
| Reaction catalysed |
|---|
| A [histone H3]-N(6),N(6),N(6)-trimethyl-L-lysine(9) + 2 2-oxoglutarate + 2 O(2) <=> a [histone H3]-N(6)-methyl-L-lysine(9) + 2 succinate + 2 formaldehyde + 2 CO(2) |
| 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.
