Inhibition of the histone lysine demethylase JMJD2A by ejection of structural Zn(II).
نویسندگان
چکیده
JMJD2A, a 2-oxoglutarate dependent N(epsilon)-methyl lysine histone demethylase, is inhibited by disruption of its Zn-binding site by Zn-ejecting compounds including disulfiram and ebselen; this observation may enable the development of inhibitors selective for this subfamily of 2OG dependent oxygenases that do not rely on binding to the highly-conserved Fe(ii)-containing active site.

Histone demethylase JMJD2A drives prostate tumorigenesis through transcription factor ETV1.
Histone demethylase upregulation has been observed in human cancers, yet it is unknown whether this is a bystander event or a driver of tumorigenesis. We found that overexpression of lysine-specific demethylase 4A (KDM4A, also known as JMJD2A) was positively correlated with Gleason score and metastasis in human prostate tumors. Overexpression of JMJD2A resulted in the development of prostatic i...
متن کاملSUMO modification of a heterochromatin histone demethylase JMJD2A enables viral gene transactivation and viral replication
Small ubiquitin-like modifier (SUMO) modification of chromatin has profound effects on transcription regulation. By using Kaposi's sarcoma associated herpesvirus (KSHV) as a model, we recently demonstrated that epigenetic modification of viral chromatin by SUMO-2/3 is involved in regulating gene expression and viral reactivation. However, how this modification orchestrates transcription reprogr...
متن کاملThe histone trimethyllysine demethylase JMJD2A promotes cardiac hypertrophy in response to hypertrophic stimuli in mice.
Cardiac hypertrophy and failure are accompanied by a reprogramming of gene expression that involves transcription factors and chromatin remodeling enzymes. Little is known about the roles of histone methylation and demethylation in this process. To understand the role of JMJD2A, a histone trimethyl demethylase, in cardiac hypertrophy, we generated mouse lines with heart-specific Jmjd2a deletion...
متن کاملProhexadione, a plant growth regulator, inhibits histone lysine demethylases and modulates epigenetics
BACKGROUND Epigenetic modifications, particularly DNA methylation and posttranslational histone modifications regulate heritable changes in transcription without changes in the DNA sequence. Despite a number of studies showing clear links between environmental factors and DNA methylation, little is known about the effect of environmental factors on the recently identified histone lysine methyla...
متن کاملStructural Insights into Histone Demethylation by JMJD2 Family Members
Posttranslational modifications of histones regulate chromatin structure and gene expression. Histone demethylases, members of a newly emerging transcription-factor family, remove methyl groups from the lysine residues of the histone tails and thereby regulate the transcriptional activity of target genes. JmjC-domain-containing proteins have been predicted to be demethylases. For example, the J...
