Methylation and demethylation of histone play a crucial role in regulating chromatin formation and gene expression. The jumonji C (JmjC) domain-containing proteins are demethylases that are involved in regulating epigenetic modification in plants. In our

Lysine demethylase 4A: from chromatin to centrosomes. [PDF]
The lysine demethylase 4A (KDM4A) remodels chromatin by histone demethylation, regulating gene expression. In this issue, Chowdhury et al. report a previously undescribed localisation for KDM4A outside the nucleus, at the pericentriolar material around the centrosome.

Profiling Inhibitor Scaffolds for the Cancer Target Jumonji-C Domain-Containing Protein 6. [PDF]
High‐throughput mass spectrometry assays identify scaffolds for the development of inhibitors of the anticancer target Jumonji‐C domain‐containing protein 6 (JMJD6). Molecular docking studies suggest strategies for structure‐guided inhibitor optimization.

Arabidopsis TRB Proteins Form Two Closely Related Complexes to Mediate H3K4me3 Demethylation and Transcriptional Repression. [PDF]
This study reveals that Arabidopsis telomere repeat binding proteins (TRBs) form two closely related complexes. These complexes mediate H3K4me3 demethylation and transcriptional repression through a positive feedback loop and cooperate with PEAT and PRC2 complexes to regulate multiple histone modifications and gene expression across the genome ...

The Jumonji Domain-Containing Histone Demethylase Homolog 1D/lysine Demethylase 7A (JHDM1D/KDM7A) Is an Epigenetic Activator of RHOJ Transcription in Breast Cancer Cells [PDF]
The small GTPase RHOJ is a key regulator of breast cancer metastasis by promoting cell migration and invasion. The prometastatic stimulus TGF-β activates RHOJ transcription via megakaryocytic leukemia 1 (MKL1). The underlying epigenetic mechanism is not clear.

Regulation of Jumonji-domain-containing histone demethylases by hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF)-1α [PDF]
The transcription factor HIF (hypoxia-inducible factor) mediates a highly pleiotrophic response to hypoxia. Many recent studies have focused on defining the extent of this transcriptional response. In the present study we have analysed regulation by hypoxia among transcripts encoding human Fe(II)- and 2-oxoglutarate-dependent oxygenases.

Nitric Oxide Modifies Global Histone Methylation by Inhibiting Jumonji C Domain-containing Demethylases [PDF]
Methylation of lysine residues on histone tails is an important epigenetic modification that is dynamically regulated through the combined effects of methyltransferases and demethylases. The Jumonji C domain Fe(II) α-ketoglutarate family of proteins performs the majority of histone demethylation.

Inhibitors of Jumonji C domain-containing histone lysine demethylases overcome cisplatin and paclitaxel resistance in non-small cell lung cancer through APC/Cdh1-dependent degradation of CtIP and PAF15 [PDF]
The Jumonji C domain-containing family of histone lysine demethylases (Jumonji KDMs) have emerged as promising cancer therapy targets. These enzymes remove methyl groups from various histone lysines and, in turn, regulate processes including chromatin compaction, gene transcription, and DNA repair.

The histone demethylase Jumonji domain-containing protein 3 (JMJD3) regulates fibroblast activation in systemic sclerosis [PDF]
Systemic sclerosis (SSc) fibroblasts remain activated even in the absence of exogenous stimuli. Epigenetic alterations are thought to play a role for this endogenous activation. Trimethylation of histone H3 on lysine 27 (H3K27me3) is regulated by Jumonji domain-containing protein 3 (JMJD3) and ubiquitously transcribed tetratricopeptide repeat on ...
