KDM6A loss enhances oxidative phosphorylation uncovering tissue-level convergent evolution

Abstract The tumor suppressor KDM6A / UTX , a histone demethylase and a 2-oxoglutarate-dependent dioxygenase, is frequently lost in many cancer types. We show that KDM6A loss pervasively activates oxidative phosphorylation in several solid tumors, generating a pseudo-hyperoxic en...
