Kdm4b Histone Demethylase Is a DNA Damage Response Protein and Confers a Survival Advantage following γ-Irradiation
7 Jun 2013
Abstract excerpt
DNA damage evokes a complex and highly coordinated DNA damage response (DDR) that is integral to the suppression of genomic instability. Double-strand breaks (DSBs) are considered the most deleterious form damage. Evidence suggests that trimethylation of histone H3 lysine 9 (H3K9me3) presents a barrier to DSB repair. Also, global levels of histone methylation are clinically predictive for several tumor types....
