EC 1.14.11.66     
Accepted name: [histone H3]-trimethyl-L-lysine9 demethylase
Reaction: a [histone H3]-N6,N6,N6-trimethyl-L-lysine9 + 2 2-oxoglutarate + 2 O2 = a [histone H3]-N6-methyl-L-lysine9 + 2 succinate + 2 formaldehyde + 2 CO2 (overall reaction)
(1a) a [histone H3]-N6,N6,N6-trimethyl-L-lysine9 + 2-oxoglutarate + O2 = a [histone H3]-N6,N6-dimethyl-L-lysine9 + succinate + formaldehyde + CO2
(1b) a [histone H3]-N6,N6-dimethyl-L-lysine9 + 2-oxoglutarate + O2 = a [histone H3]-N6-methyl-L-lysine9 + succinate + formaldehyde + CO2
Other name(s): KDM4A (gene name); KDM4B (gene name); KDM4C (gene name); KDM4D (gene name); JHDM3A (gene name); JMJD2 (gene name); JMJD2A (gene name); GASC1 (gene name)
Systematic name: [histone H3]-N6,N6,N6-trimethyl-L-lysine9,2-oxoglutarate:oxygen oxidoreductase
Comments: Requires iron(II). This entry describes a group of enzymes that demethylate N-methylated Lys-9 residues in the tail of the histone protein H3 (H3K9). This lysine residue can exist in three methylation states (mono-, di- and trimethylated), but this group of enzymes only act on the the tri- and di-methylated forms. The enzymes are dioxygenases and act by hydroxylating the methyl group, forming an unstable hemiaminal that leaves as formaldehyde. cf. EC 1.14.11.65, [histone H3]-dimethyl-L-lysine9 demethylase.
