lysine (K)-specific demethylase 6A; Histone demethylase that specifically demethylates ’Lys- 27’ of histone H3, thereby playing a central role in histone code. Demethylates trimethylated and dimethylated but not monomethylated H3 ’Lys-27’. Plays a central role in regulation of posterior development, by regulating HOX gene expression. Demethylation of ’Lys-27’ of histone H3 is concomitant with methylation of ’Lys-4’ of histone H3, and regulates the recruitment of the PRC1 complex and monoubiquitination of histone H2A (1401 aa)

H2A histone family, member Z; Variant histone H2A which replaces conventional H2A in a subset of nucleosomes. Nucleosomes wrap and compact DNA into chromatin, limiting DNA accessibility to the cellular machineries which require DNA as a template. Histones thereby play a central role in transcription regulation, DNA repair, DNA replication and chromosomal stability. DNA accessibility is regulated via a complex set of post-translational modifications of histones, also called histone code, and nucleosome remodeling. May be involved in the formation of constitutive heterochromatin. May be [...] (128 aa)

H2A histone family, member V; Variant histone H2A which replaces conventional H2A in a subset of nucleosomes.

solute carrier family 37 (glycerol-3-phosphate transporter), member 3 (494 aa)

lysine (K)-specific demethylase 5A; Histone demethylase that specifically demethylates ’Lys- 4’ of histone H3, thereby playing a central role in histone code. Does not demethylate histone H3 ’Lys-9’, H3 ’Lys-27’, H3 ’Lys-36’, H3 ’Lys-79’ or H4 ’Lys-20’. Demethylates trimethylated and dimethylated but not monomethylated H3 ’Lys-4’. May stimulate transcription mediated by nuclear receptors. May be involved in transcriptional regulation of Hox proteins during cell differentiation. May participate in transcriptional repression of cytokines such as CXCL12 (1690 aa)

lysine (K)-specific demethylase 5B; Histone demethylase that demethylates ’Lys-4’ of histone H3, thereby playing a central role in histone code. Does not demethylate histone H3 ’Lys-9’ or H3 ’Lys-27’. Demethylates trimethylated, dimethylated and monomethylated H3 ’Lys-4’. Acts as a transcriptional corepressor for FOXG1B and PAX9. Favors the proliferation of breast cancer cells by repressing tumor suppressor genes such as BRCA1 and HOXA5. In contrast, may act as a tumor suppressor for melanoma (1544 aa)

lysine (K)-specific demethylase 4D; Histone demethylase that specifically demethylates ’Lys- 9’ of histone H3, thereby playing a central role in histone code. Does not demethylate histone H3 ’Lys-4’, H3 ’Lys-27’, H3 ’Lys-36’ nor H4 ’Lys-20’. Demethylates both di- and trimethylated H3 ’Lys- 9’ residue, while it has no activity on monomethylated residues. Demethylation of Lys residue generates formaldehyde and succinate (523 aa)

lysine (K)-specific demethylase 8; Histone demethylase required for G2/M phase cell cycle progression. Specifically demethylates dimethylated ’Lys-36’ (H3K36me2) of histone H3, an epigenetic repressive mark, thereby acting as a transcription activator. Regulates expression of CCNA1 (cyclin-A1), leading to regulate cancer cell proliferation (454 aa)
