Histone Demethylase Activity of Utx Is Essential for Viability and Regulation of HOX Gene Expression in Drosophila

The trimethylation of histone H3 at lysine 27 (H3K27me3) by Polycomb Repressive Complex 2 (PRC2) is essential for the repression of Polycomb target genes. However, the role of enzymatic demethylation of H3K27me3 by the KDM6-family demethylases Utx, Uty, and JmjD3 is less clear. Studies in both mice...
