| Background: |
caution:It is uncertain whether Met-1 or Met-4 is the initiator.,cofactor:Binds 1 Fe(2+) ion per subunit.,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.,similarity:Belongs to the JHDM3 histone demethylase family.,similarity:Contains 1 JmjC domain.,similarity:Contains 1 JmjN domain., |
