简介:组蛋白甲基化是参予细胞的过程的一个多样的数组的重要epigenetic现象并且被发现了与癌症被联系。几的Recentidentification嘘一demethylases证明了那嘘一甲基化是一个可逆过程。通过一条候选人途径,我们化学上有简历作为H3K27demethylase识别了JMJD3。进HeLa房间的JMJD3的Transfection引起了整齐的乙醇H3K27的特定的减小,但是没在di-和单音的甲基H3K27上有效果,或嘘H3K4和H3K9上的一离氨酸methylations。Theenzymatic活动要求JmjC域和被建议了为余因子绑定重要的保存组氨酸。试管内生物化学的实验证明那JMJD3directly催化demethylation。另外,我们发现JMJD3起来在前列腺癌症,和它的表示调整了在变形前列腺癌症是更高的。因此,我们作为能够把整齐的乙醇组从移开的ademethylase识别了JMJD3嘘一H3离氨酸27并且起来在前列腺癌症调整了。
