EC 1.14.11.68
Names
Accepted name:
[histone H3]-trimethyl-L-lysine27 demethylase
Systematic name:
[histone H3]-N6,N6,N6-trimethyl-L-lysine27,2-oxoglutarate:oxygen oxidoreductase
Reactions
- (1) a histone H3-N6,N6,N6-trimethyl-L-lysine27 + 2 2-oxoglutarate + 2 O2 = a histone H3-N6-methyl-L-lysine27 + 2 succinate + 2 formaldehyde + 2 CO2
- (1a) a histone H3-N6,N6,N6-trimethyl-L-lysine27 + 2-oxoglutarate + O2 = a histone H3-N6,N6-dimethyl-L-lysine27 + succinate + formaldehyde + CO2
- (1b) a histone H3-N6,N6-dimethyl-L-lysine27 + 2-oxoglutarate + O2 = a histone H3-N6-methyl-L-lysine27 + succinate + formaldehyde + CO2
Comments:
Requires iron(II). This entry describes a group of enzymes that demethylate N-methylated L-lysine residues at position 27 of histone H3 (H3K27). The enzymes are dioxygenases and act by hydroxylating the methyl group, forming an unstable hemiaminal that leaves as formaldehyde. They can act on tri- and di-methylated forms, but have no activity with the mono-methylated form.
