Reader domain specificity and lysine demethylase-4 family function

KDM4 histone demethylases target specific chromatin regions by a mechanism that is not fully characterised. Here, the authors identify trimethyl-lysine histone-binding preferences for closely related KDM4 double tudor domains and use structural and biochemical information to examine the molecular de...

Description
Summary:KDM4 histone demethylases target specific chromatin regions by a mechanism that is not fully characterised. Here, the authors identify trimethyl-lysine histone-binding preferences for closely related KDM4 double tudor domains and use structural and biochemical information to examine the molecular details of this interaction.
