Catalysis by the non-heme iron(II) histone demethylase PHF8 involves iron center rearrangement and conformational modulation of substrate orientation

PHF8 (KDM7B) is a human non-heme 2-oxoglutarate (2OG) JmjC domain oxygenase that catalyzes the demethylation of the di/mono-Nε-methylated K9 residue of histone H3. Altered PHF8 activity is linked to genetic diseases and cancer; thus, it is an interesting target for epigenetic modulation. We describe...
