DESCRIPTION

Also known as PHF2_HUMAN, PHF2, CENP-35, KIAA0662. Lysine demethylase that demethylates both histones and non-histone proteins (PubMed:20129925, PubMed:21167174, PubMed:21532585). Enzymatically inactive by itself, and becomes active following phosphorylation by PKA: forms a complex with ARID5B and mediates demethylation of methylated ARID5B (PubMed:21532585). Demethylation of ARID5B leads to target the PHF2-ARID5B complex to target promoters, where PHF2 mediates demethylation of dimethylated 'Lys-9' of histone H3 (H3K9me2), followed by transcription activation of target genes (PubMed:21532585). The PHF2-ARID5B complex acts as a coactivator of HNF4A in liver. PHF2 is recruited to trimethylated 'Lys-4' of histone H3 (H3K4me3) at rDNA promoters and promotes expression of rDNA (PubMed:21532585). Involved in the activation of toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4)-target inflammatory genes in macrophages by catalyzing the demethylation of trimethylated histone H4 lysine 20 (H4K20me3) at the gene promoters (By similarity). Component of the PHF2-ARID5B complex, at least composed of PHF2 and ARID5B (PubMed:21532585). Interacts with HNF4A and NR1H4 (PubMed:21532585). Interacts with RELA (By similarity).
