histone H4K20 demethylase activity [GO_0035575]
Catalysis of the removal of the methyl group from a modified lysine residue at position 20 of the histone H4 protein. This is a dioxygenase reaction that is dependent on Fe(II) and 2-oxoglutarate.
histone H4K20 demethylase activity
ID: GO_0035575
Class
Catalysis of the removal of the methyl group from a modified lysine residue at position 20 of the histone H4 protein. This is a dioxygenase reaction that is dependent on Fe(II) and 2-oxoglutarate.
Note that the residue position corresponds to the canonical human H4 histone (UniProtKB:P02309); this residue is conserved across all eukaryotes. Note that the initiation methionine is cleaved, so the first residue is S1.
