Abstract excerpt
The histone H3 demethylase Ndy1/KDM2B protects cells from replicative senescence. Changes in the metabolism of reactive oxygen species (ROS) are important for establishing senescence, suggesting that Ndy1 may play a role in redox regulation. Here we show that Ndy1 protects from H(2)O(2)-induced apoptosis and G(2)/M arrest and inhibits ROS-mediated signaling and DNA damage, while knockdown of Ndy1 has the opposite...
