Journal: Mol Cell / Year: 2025 Title: Structural mechanism of H3K27 demethylation and crosstalk with heterochromatin markers. Authors: Chien-Chu Lin / Yani Zhao / Caroline A Foley / Aspen T Hawkins / Lindsey I James / Stephen V Frye / Robert K McGinty / Abstract: Histone H3 lysine 27 trimethylation (H3K27me3) is a repressive histone modification that is a hallmark of facultative heterochromatin.

H3K27me3 is installed by the polycomb repressive complex 2 (PRC2) and removed by KDM6 family Jumonji C (JmjC) domain demethylases. Structural studies have elucidated how PRC2 functions on nucleosomes and its regulation by local histone modification signatures. However, the molecular mechanisms governing H3K27 demethylation to reactivate silenced chromatin remain poorly understood. Here, we report the cryoelectron microscopy (cryo-EM) structure of mouse KDM6B bound to the nucleosome. Our structure shows how KDM6B engages wrapped nucleosomal DNA together with both extranucleosomal DNA linkers to position its catalytic JmjC domain for H3K27 demethylation. KDM6B induces an overlapped linker DNA conformation consistent with function in a compact chromatin environment. We further show that linker histones and H2AK119ub1, both enriched in heterochromatin, antagonize KDM6B function, suggesting that linker histone eviction and H2A deubiquitylation precede H3K27 demethylation during heterochromatin activation.
In the structure databanks used in Yorodumi, some data are registered as the other names, "COVID-19 virus" and "2019-nCoV". Here are the details of the virus and the list of structure data.

EMDB accession codes are about to change! (news from PDBe EMDB page)
The allocation of 4 digits for EMDB accession codes will soon come to an end. Whilst these codes will remain in use, new EMDB accession codes will include an additional digit and will expand incrementally as the available range of codes is exhausted. The current 4-digit format prefixed with “EMD-” (i.e. EMD-XXXX) will advance to a 5-digit format (i.e. EMD-XXXXX), and so on. It is currently estimated that the 4-digit codes will be depleted around Spring 2019, at which point the 5-digit format will come into force.
The EM Navigator/Yorodumi systems omit the EMD- prefix.

Yorodumi is a browser for structure data from EMDB, PDB, SASBDB, etc.
This page is also the successor to EM Navigator detail page, and also detail information page/front-end page for Omokage search.
The word "yorodu" (or yorozu) is an old Japanese word meaning "ten thousand". "mi" (miru) is to see.
