histone H4R3 demethylase activity [GO_0033749]

Catalysis of the removal of the methyl group from a modified arginine residue at position 3 of the histone H4 protein. This is a dioxygenase reaction that is dependent on Fe(II) and 2-oxoglutarate.

histone H4R3 demethylase activity

ID: GO_0033749

Class

Catalysis of the removal of the methyl group from a modified arginine residue at position 3 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.
