Catalysis of the removal of a methyl group from a di- or a monomethyl-lysine residue at position 4 of the histone H3 protein. This is a flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD)-dependent amine oxidation reaction. [PMID:22473470]
FAD-dependent H3K4me/H3K4me3 demethylase activity refers to the enzymatic process of removing methyl groups from lysine residues at positions 4 and 4 of histone H3, specifically the mono- and tri-methylated forms (H3K4me and H3K4me3). This activity is facilitated by enzymes known as lysine-specific demethylases (LSDs), which use flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD) as a cofactor.
The removal of methyl groups from H3K4 is crucial for regulating gene expression. H3K4 methylation is generally associated with active transcription, while its demethylation is linked to gene silencing.
Here's a detailed description of the molecular function of FAD-dependent H3K4me/H3K4me3 demethylase activity:
1. **Substrate Recognition and Binding:** LSDs bind to their substrate, the methylated histone H3 tail, via specific recognition domains. These domains typically recognize the histone tail and the specific methylation state of lysine 4.
2. **FAD Cofactor Binding and Oxidation:** FAD, a crucial cofactor, binds to the LSD enzyme. The enzyme then undergoes a conformational change that positions the FAD molecule for oxidation.
3. **Oxygen Activation:** The oxidized FAD molecule facilitates the activation of oxygen, which is required for the demethylation reaction.
4. **Methyl Group Removal:** The activated oxygen molecule then reacts with the methyl group on lysine 4 of H3, leading to its removal as formaldehyde. The FAD cofactor is reduced during this process.
5. **Product Release and Enzyme Regeneration:** After the demethylation reaction, the demethylase releases the demethylated histone H3 and regenerates its FAD cofactor through a series of enzymatic steps.
6. **Gene Expression Regulation:** Demethylation of H3K4 can lead to a decrease in gene expression by reducing the binding affinity of transcription factors and other regulatory proteins to the promoter region.
7. **Cellular Processes:** FAD-dependent H3K4me/H3K4me3 demethylase activity plays a vital role in various cellular processes, including development, cell cycle regulation, and differentiation. Dysregulation of this activity can contribute to various diseases, including cancer.
