| UniProt functional annotation for Q6B0I6 | |||
| UniProt code: Q6B0I6. |
| Organism: | Homo sapiens (Human). | |
| Taxonomy: | Eukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi; Mammalia; Eutheria; Euarchontoglires; Primates; Haplorrhini; Catarrhini; Hominidae; Homo. | |
| Function: | Histone demethylase that specifically demethylates 'Lys-9' of histone H3, thereby playing a central role in histone code. Does not demethylate histone H3 'Lys-4', H3 'Lys-27', H3 'Lys-36' nor H4 'Lys- 20'. Demethylates both di- and trimethylated H3 'Lys-9' residue, while it has no activity on monomethylated residues. Demethylation of Lys residue generates formaldehyde and succinate. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:16603238}. | |
| Catalytic activity: | Reaction=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; Xref=Rhea:RHEA:60200, Rhea:RHEA- COMP:15538, Rhea:RHEA-COMP:15542, ChEBI:CHEBI:15379, ChEBI:CHEBI:16526, ChEBI:CHEBI:16810, ChEBI:CHEBI:16842, ChEBI:CHEBI:30031, ChEBI:CHEBI:61929, ChEBI:CHEBI:61961; EC=1.14.11.66; Evidence={ECO:0000269|PubMed:16603238}; | |
| Cofactor: | Name=Fe(2+); Xref=ChEBI:CHEBI:29033; Evidence={ECO:0000250}; Note=Binds 1 Fe(2+) ion per subunit. {ECO:0000250}; | |
| Subcellular location: | Nucleus {ECO:0000255|PROSITE-ProRule:PRU00537}. | |
| Similarity: | Belongs to the JHDM3 histone demethylase family. {ECO:0000305}. | |
| Sequence caution: | Sequence=BAA91508.1; Type=Erroneous initiation; Note=Truncated N-terminus.; Evidence={ECO:0000305}; | |
