Background
KDM4A (lysine (K)-specific demethylase 4A), also known as JMJD2A (Jumonji Domain Containing 2A) is a nuclear protein that functions as a histone demethylase that preferentially demethylates di- and trimethylated lysine 9 (K9me3) and lysine 36 (K36me3) residues of histone H3, converting these trimethylated histone residues to mono- or dimethylated form. JMJD2A / KDM4A has no activity for monomethylated H3K9 and H3K36. KDM4A functions as a transcriptional repressor, participating in transcriptional repression of ASCL2 and E2F-responsive promoters via the recruitment of histone deacetylases and NCOR1, respectively. An additional KDM4A isoform, KDM4A Isoform 2, that lacks the N-terminal demethylase domain is crucial for muscle differentiation in promoting transcriptional activation of the MyoG gene by directing the removal of repressive chromatin marks at its promoter.
Application Notes
Recombinant JMJD2A / KDM4A is suitable for use in the study of enzyme kinetics, inhibitor screening, and selectivity profiling.
