Arginine methylation occurs on a number of proteins involved in a variety of cellular functions. Histone tails are known to be mono- and dimethylated on multiple arginine residues where they influence chromatin remodeling and gene expression. To date, no enzyme has been shown to reverse these regulatory modifications. We demonstrate that the Jumonji domain-containing 6 protein (JMJD6) is a JmjC...

Histone methylation is a key element of the eukaryotic epigenome. Since the discovery of the first histone demethylase (HDM) in 2004, more than 20 demethylases have been identified and characterized. They belong to either the LSD family or the JmjC family, demonstrating the reversibility of all methylation states at almost all major histone lysine methylation sites. These findings ended decades...

Factor inhibiting hypoxia-inducible factor (FIH) is a JmjC domain 2-oxogluarate and Fe(II)-dependent oxygenase that catalyzes hydroxylation of specific asparagines in the C-terminal transcriptional activation alpha (HIF-?) isoforms. This modification suppresses activity HIF by reducing its interaction with coactivators p300/CBP. By contrast inhibition prolyl hydroxylases (PHDs), inhibitors FIH,...

هدف از این مطالعه بررسی اثر آب تهی شده دوتریم (DDW) در غلظت­های مشخص بر روی سلول­های 29HT- و 480SW- بود. رده­های سلولی محیط RPMI حاوی مختلف DDW به مدت 24، 48 72 ساعت کشت داده شدند سپس درصد بقای روش سنجش سمیت مبتنی برMTT تعیین شد. یافته­ها نقش توأم کاهش افزایش زمان تیمار را مهار رشد اثبات رساند. کم­ترین میزان برای طی با غلظت ppm 30 ترتیب 23% 37% دست آمد. جهت اثرات جانبی دوتریم، طبیعی 12C2C نیز ت...

Epigenetics has been recognised to play vital roles in many plant developmental processes, including floral initiation through the epigenetic regulation of gene expression. The histone modifying proteins that mediate these modifications involve the SET domain-containing histone methyltransferases, JmjC domain-containing demethylase, acetylases and deacetylases. In addition, RNA interference (RN...
