Histone methylation and demethylation regulate genes, either by relaxing histone tails to permit transcription factors and other proteins to contact the DNA, or by wrapping histone tails around the DNA, thereby blocking access. (encyclopedia.pub)

Chromatin9
JmjC domain-containing histone demethylase 1B (JHDM1B, also called FBXL10 or KDM2B) is a conserved and ubiquitously expressed member of the JmjC domain-containing histone demethylase (JHDM) family involved in the demethylation of trimethylated lysine 4 on histone H3 (H3K4me3) and dimethylated lysine 36 on histone H3 (H3K36me2), thereby removing active chromatin marks and inhibiting gene transcription [ 2 - 4 ]. (oncotarget.com)

LSD16
The identification of Lysine-Specific Demethylase 1(LSD1), an H3-lysine 4 (H3- K4) specific histone demethylase confirmed the long held speculation regarding the reversible nature of histone methylation, and represents a major advance in our understanding of epigenetic regulation. (grantome.com)
Lysine-specific demethylase 1 (LSD1) is an epigenetic enzyme that oxidatively cleaves methyl groups from monomethyl and dimethyl Lys4 of histone H3 (H3K4Me1, H3K4Me2) and can contribute to gene silencing. (johnshopkins.edu)
Bizine was found to be effective at modulating bulk histone methylation in cancer cells, and ChIP-seq experiments revealed a statistically significant overlap in the H3K4 methylation pattern of genes affected by bizine and those altered in LSD1-/- cells. (johnshopkins.edu)
We have previously demonstrated that crosstalk between lysine-specific demethylase 1 (LSD1) and histone deacetylases (HDACs) facilitates breast cancer proliferation. (johnshopkins.edu)
For one, the previous demethylase identified, called LSD1, could not remove a chain of three methyl groups from a histone, or a trimethyl group. (sciencedaily.com)

The JumonjiC (JmjC)-containing histone demethylases (HDMs) catalyze the demethylation of methylated lysine residues on histone tails. (ox.ac.uk)
The result was the identification of a novel protein, JHDM1A, named for JmjC histone demethylase 1A. (sciencedaily.com)
JmjC is only a section of the entire JHDM1A protein, but is required for its demethylase activity. (sciencedaily.com)
The authors showed that disruption of JmjC prevents JHDM1A from removing histone methyl groups. (sciencedaily.com)
For example, hair loss occurs in individuals with mutations in the JmjC domain of a protein called "hairless," possibly due to defects in the appropriate removal of histone methyl groups. (sciencedaily.com)
Demethylation4
