JmjC histone demethylases act as chromatin oxygen sensors
Oxygen sensing is important in physiology but also in disease. We find that hypoxia (oxygen deficiency) triggers rapid and hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF)-independent histone methylation changes which are reversible upon reoxygenation. Hypoxia-induced histone methylation genomic distribution precedes...

Sumario: | Oxygen sensing is important in physiology but also in disease. We find that hypoxia (oxygen deficiency) triggers rapid and hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF)-independent histone methylation changes which are reversible upon reoxygenation. Hypoxia-induced histone methylation genomic distribution precedes transcriptional changes and is mimicked by specific Jumonji-C (JmjC) histone demethylase depletion. Oxygen sensing by JmjC histone demethylases is required for the cellular response to hypoxia. |
