Abstract

Methylation of histone H3 Lys 9 and Lys 27 (H3K9 and H3K27) is associated with transcriptional silencing. Here we show that KDM7, a JmjC domain-containing protein, catalyzes demethylation of both mono- or dimethylated H3K9 and H3K27. Inhibition of KDM7 orthologs in zebrafish resulted in developmental brain defects. KDM7 interacts with the follistatin gene locus, and KDM7 depletion in mammalian neuronal cells suppressed follistatin gene transcription in association with increased levels of dimethylated H3K9 and H3K27. Our findings identify KDM7 as a dual demethylase for H3K9 and H3K27 that functions as an eraser of silencing marks on chromatin during brain development.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
