Involvement of a Jumonji‐C domain‐containing histone demethylase in DRM2‐mediated maintenance of DNA methylation [PDF]
Histone demethylases—both lysine‐specific demethylase 1 (LSD1) and Jumonji‐C (JmjC) domain‐containing proteins—are broadly implicated in the regulation of chromatin‐dependent processes. In Arabidopsis thaliana, histone marks directly affect DNA methylation, and mutations in LSD1 homologues show reduced DNA methylation at some loci. We screened transfer

A Selective Inhibitor and Probe of the Cellular Functions of Jumonji C Domain-Containing Histone Demethylases [PDF]
Histone methylations are important chromatin marks that regulate gene expression, genomic stability, DNA repair, and genomic imprinting. Histone demethylases are the most recent family of histone-modifying enzymes discovered. Here, we report the characterization of a small-molecule inhibitor of Jumonji C domain-containing histone demethylases.

Histone demethylase Jumonji domain‐containing 1A inhibits proliferation and progression of gastric cancer by upregulating runt‐related transcription factor 3 [PDF]
AbstractThe histone demethylase Jumonji domain‐containing 1A (JMJD1A) is overexpressed in multiple cancers and promotes cancer progression. However, the role and mechanism of JMJD1A in gastric cancer (GC) remains poorly understood. Here, we found that JMJD1A could suppress GC cell proliferation and xenograft tumor growth.

PHF2 regulates homology-directed DNA repair by controlling the resection of DNA double strand breaks [PDF]
Post-translational histone modifications and chromatin remodelling play a critical role controlling the integrity of the genome. Here, we identify histone lysine demethylase PHF2 as a novel regulator of the DNA damage response by regulating DNA damage ...

Vitamin C and epigenetics: A short physiological overview
In recent years, ascorbic acid (vitamin C) has acquired great interest due to its multiple functions, which results in homeostasis of normal tissues and organs. On the other hand, it has been shown that epigenetic modifications may have an important role

Chromatin and oxygen sensing in the context of JmjC histone demethylases [PDF]
Responding appropriately to changes in oxygen availability is essential for multicellular organism survival. Molecularly, cells have evolved intricate gene expression programmes to handle this stressful condition.

Cooperation between ETS variant 2 and Jumonji domain‑containing 2 histone demethylases
The E26 transformation-specific (ETS) variant 2 (ETV2) protein, also designated as ETS-related 71, is a member of the ETS transcription factor family and is essential for blood and vascular development in the embryo. The role of ETV2 in cancer has not yet been investigated.
