Kdm4A | Lysine (K)-specific demethylase 4A (Kdm4A) encodes a histone lysine demethylase that catalyzes removal of methyl groups using alpha-ketoglutarate as a cofactor. It demethylates H3K36me3 and is implicated in the demethylation of H3K9me3 and H3K56me3. Its roles include transcription, DNA repair, and heterochromatin silencing. (495 aa) | ||||
gpp | Histone-lysine N-methyltransferase, H3 lysine-79 specific; Histone methyltransferase. Methylates 'Lys-79' of histone H3. Required for Polycomb Group (PcG) and trithorax Group (trxG) maintenance of expression. Also involved in telomeric silencing but do not in centric heterochromatin. Probably participates in pairing sensitivity. (2137 aa) |
