Moreover, histone demethylase KDM4C controls ALKBH5 expression in leukemia by reducing H3K9me3 levels and enhancing chromatin accessibility of the ALKBH5 locus, which promotes the binding of the transcriptional factor MYB and the C-terminal domain (CTD) of the RNA polymerase II to the ALKBH5 promoter [99]. This evidence concerns the gene MYB and leukemia.
