histone H3K56me2/H3K56me3 demethylase activity [GO_0140760]

Catalysis of the removal of a methyl group from a tri or a dimethyl-lysine residue at position 56 of the histone H3 protein.

histone H3K56me2/H3K56me3 demethylase activity

ID: GO_0140760

Class

Catalysis of the removal of a methyl group from a tri or a dimethyl-lysine residue at position 56 of the histone H3 protein.

Comment: Note that the residue position corresponds to the canonical human H3 histone (UniProtKB:P84243); this residue is conserved across all eukaryotes. Residue 1 is the first residue following removal of the initiating Methionine (Met). Note that each histone is encoded by multiple genes, and sequences may vary across different genes within an organism.
