The methylation status of specific lysines is kept in balance by the competitive roles of two enzyme families, that is, the histone methyltransferases (HMTs) [1,2] and the histone demethylases (KDMs) [3-7]. A variety of diseases, including inflammation, leukemia, and breast and prostate cancers, are linked to alterations from its normal status of this epigenetic modification [8,9].Nine groups of human Nε-methyl-lysine demethylases (KDM1-9) have been identified that catalyze the demethylation of N-methyl-lysine residues in histones through oxidative mechanisms acting on different Nε-methylation states and specific protein sequences [3]. KDMs are grouped into two families: the flavin-dependent lysine-specific demethylases (LSDs/KDM1s) and the 2-oxoglutarate (2OG)-, ferrous iron-, and oxygen-dependent demethylases [Jumonji-C (JmjC) KDMs], the latter being the largest family of KDMs. More than 100 members of the JmJC domaincontaining proteins have been reported, including KDMs [10].
