DESCRIPTION

Also known as KDM5B_HUMAN, KDM5B, JARID1B, PLU1, RBBP2H1. Histone demethylase that demethylates 'Lys-4' of histone H3, thereby playing a central role in histone code (PubMed:24952722, PubMed:27214403, PubMed:28262558). 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. Favors the proliferation of breast cancer cells by repressing tumor suppressor genes such as BRCA1 and HOXA5 (PubMed:24952722). In contrast, may act as a tumor suppressor for melanoma. Represses the CLOCK-ARNTL/BMAL1 heterodimer-mediated transcriptional activation of the core clock component PER2 (By similarity). Interacts with FOXG1B, PAX9, MYC, MYCN and RB1. Interacts with HDAC1, HDAC4, HDAC5 and HDAC7. Interacts (via PHD-type 1 zinc finger) with histone H3 unmodified at 'Lys-4'; the interaction is inhibited when histone H3 is methylated at 'Arg-2' or 'Lys-4' (PubMed:24952722).
