KDM4A catalyzes demethylation of histone fragment peptides methylated at H3K27. MALDI-TOF spectra of KDM4A (1–359) catalyzed demethylation of (A) H3K27me3 peptide (Biotin-Ahx(aminohexanoic acid)-KAPRKQLATKAARKme3SAPATGG), (B) H3K9me3 peptide (Biotin-Ahx-ARTKQTARKme3STGGKAPRKQLA). MALDI-TOF spectra of full-length KDM4A (1–1064) catalyzed demethylation of (C) H3K27me3 peptide (KAPRKQLATKAARKme3SAPATGG) and (D) H3K9me3 peptide (Biotin-Ahx-ARTKQTARKme3STGGKAPRKQLA). FLAG-tagged full-length KDM4A (1–1064) was produced in HEK293T cells and purified from cell lysates using anti-FLAG beads prior to reaction with the histone peptide. MALDI-TOF spectra of reactions with (standard conditions, black) and without added enzyme (red) for (A)–(D) are shown. (E) Kinetic parameters determined for KDM4A (1–359) catalyzed demethylation of Nε-trimethylated H3K9, H3K27 and H3K36 fragment peptides using FDH assay (Figure S16).
