Histone lysine (K) demethylases (KDMs) catalyse the demethylation of lysine residue from histone tails. This entry incudes KDM6 subfamily that contains a conserved catalytic Jumonji C (JmjC) domain and includes KDM6A (also known as UTX), KDM6B (also ...
Histone lysine (K) demethylases (KDMs) catalyse the demethylation of lysine residue from histone tails. This entry incudes KDM6 subfamily that contains a conserved catalytic Jumonji C (JmjC) domain and includes KDM6A (also known as UTX), KDM6B (also known as JMJD3) and the related histone demethylase UTY [[1-4]. This is the C-terminal helical domain localised adjacent the JmjC domain.
The JmjC domain belongs to the Cupin superfamily [3]. JmjC-domain proteins may be protein hydroxylases that catalyse a novel histone modification [4]. This is confirmed to be a hydroxylase: the human JmjC protein named Tyw5p unexpectedly acts in the ...
The JmjC domain belongs to the Cupin superfamily [3]. JmjC-domain proteins may be protein hydroxylases that catalyse a novel histone modification [4]. This is confirmed to be a hydroxylase: the human JmjC protein named Tyw5p unexpectedly acts in the biosynthesis of a hypermodified nucleoside, hydroxy-wybutosine, in tRNA-Phe by catalysing hydroxylation [5].

Histone lysine (K) demethylases (KDMs) catalyse the demethylation of lysine residue from histone tails. This entry includes KDM6 subfamily that contains a conserved catalytic Jumonji C (JmjC) domain and includes KDM6A (also known as UTX), KDM6B (also known as JMJD3) and the related histone demethylase UTY (also known as KMD6C) [1,2]. This entry represents the Zn2+-coordinated GATA-like (GATAL) domain [1,2], which seems to be sensitive to redox environment. It is involved in substrate binding [3].
