KDM4A | Lysine-specific demethylase 4A; Histone demethylase that specifically demethylates 'Lys-9' and 'Lys-36' residues of histone H3, thereby playing a central role in histone code. Does not demethylate histone H3 'Lys- 4', H3 'Lys-27' nor H4 'Lys-20'. Demethylates trimethylated H3 'Lys-9' and H3 'Lys-36' residue, while it has no activity on mono- and dimethylated residues. Demethylation of Lys residue generates formaldehyde and succinate. Participates in transcriptional repression of ASCL2 and E2F-responsive promoters via the recruitment of histone deacetylases and NCOR1, respectively. (1064 aa) | ||||
METTL4 | N(6)-adenine-specific DNA methyltransferase METTL4; N(6)-adenine-specific DNA methyltransferase that mediates methylation of DNA on the 6th position of adenine (N(6)- methyladenosine) and is required to regulate Polycomb silencing. N(6)- methyladenosine deposition by METTL4 triggers ubiquitination and degradation of sensor proteins ASXL1 and MPND, leading to inactivation of the PR-DUB complex and subsequent preservation of Polycomb silencing; Belongs to the MT-A70-like family.
