Interaction of plant SFMBT1-like proteins with KDM1 histone demethylases was tested.
Four Arabidopsis homologs of the mammalian SFMBT1 were selected for study.
Two Arabidopsis KDM1 histone demethylases, KDM1C and FLD, were tested.
None of the Arabidopsis SFMBT1 homologs showed interaction with KDM1C or FLD.
Plants and animals may use different mechanisms to direct KDM1 to methyl-histones.
