Histone demethylases KDM4A (JMJD2A) and KDM4B (JMJD2B) bind H4K20Me2 (Me2-K21-HIST1H4A) with a higher affinity than TP53BP1 (53BP1), thereby blocking TP53BP1 recruitment to DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs). Demethylation of HIST1H4A (histone H4) by KDM4A or KDM4B is not involved in the inhibition of TP53BP1 binding (Mallette et al. 2012).
