DESCRIPTION

Also known as JMJD7_MOUSE, Jmjd7. Bifunctional enzyme that acts both as an endopeptidase and 2-oxoglutarate-dependent monoxygenase (PubMed:28847961) (By similarity). Endopeptidase that cleaves histones N-terminal tails at the carboxyl side of methylated arginine or lysine residues, to generate 'tailless nucleosomes', which may trigger transcription elongation (PubMed:28847961). Preferentially recognizes and cleaves monomethylated and dimethylated arginine residues of histones H2, H3 and H4. After initial cleavage, continues to digest histones tails via its aminopeptidase activity (PubMed:28847961). Additionally, may play a role in protein biosynthesis by modifying the translation machinery. Acts as Fe(2+) and 2-oxoglutarate-dependent monoxygenase, catalyzing (S)-stereospecific hydroxylation at C-3 of 'Lys-22' of DRG1 and 'Lys-21' of DRG2 translation factors (TRAFAC), promoting their interaction with ribonucleic acids (RNA) (By similarity). Homodimer; disulfide-linked. Interacts with DRG1 and DRG2.
