KDM5B / PLU1 / Jarid1B

Developmental stage

Expressed in developing brain, mammary bud, thymus, teeth, whisker follicle, intervertebral disks, olfactory epithelium, eye, stomach and limbs.

Domain

Both the JmjC domain and the JmjN domain are required for enzymatic activity. However ARID and PHD-type 1 domain are not required for activity per se but contributed to recognition of the H3(1-21)K4me2 substrate peptide.

The 2 first PHD-type zinc finger domains are required for transcription repression activity.

Function

Histone demethylase that demethylates 'Lys-4' of histone H3, thereby playing a central role in histone code. Does not demethylate histone H3 'Lys-9' or H3 'Lys-27'. Demethylates trimethylated, dimethylated and monomethylated H3 'Lys-4'. Acts as a transcriptional corepressor for FOXG1B and PAX9. Represses the CLOCK-BMAL1 heterodimer-mediated transcriptional activation of the core clock component PER2.

Sequence similarities

Belongs to the JARID1 histone demethylase family.

Tissue specificity

Present at highest levels in testis, where it is enriched in spermatogonia and pachytene cells (at protein level).
