Reversal of Histone Methylation: Biochemical and Molecular Mechanisms of Histone Demethylases

Mosammaparast, Nima, Shi, Yang·2010·Annual Review of Biochemistry

Abstract

The importance of histone methylation in gene regulation was suggested over 40 years ago. Yet, the dynamic nature of this histone modification was recognized only recently, with the discovery of the first histone demethylase nearly five years ago. Since then, our insight into the mechanisms, structures, and macromolecular complexes of these enzymes has grown exponentially. Overall, the evidence strongly supports a key role for histone demethylases in eukaryotic transcription and other chromatin-dependent processes. Here, we examine these and related facets of histone demethylases discovered to date, focusing on their biochemistry, structure, and enzymology.

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.
