Abstract
Jumonji C domain-containing (JMJD) proteins are found in bacteria, fungi, animals, and plants. They belong to the 2-oxoglutarate-dependent oxygenase superfamily and are endowed with various enzymatic activities, including demethylation of histones and hydroxylation of non-histone proteins. Many JMJD proteins are involved in the epigenetic control of gene expression, yet they also modulate a myriad other cellular processes. In this review we focus on the 33 human JMJD proteins and their established and controversial catalytic properties, survey their epigenetic and non-epigenetic functions, emphasize their contribution to sex-specific disease differences, and highlight how they sense metabolic changes. All this underlines not only their key roles in development and homeostasis, but also that JMJD proteins are destined to become drug targets in multiple diseases.
期刊介绍：
For over 40 years, Trends in Biochemical Sciences (TIBS) has been a leading publication keeping readers informed about recent advances in all areas of biochemistry and molecular biology. Through monthly, peer-reviewed issues, TIBS covers a wide range of topics, from traditional subjects like protein structure and function to emerging areas in signaling and metabolism. Articles are curated by the Editor and authored by top researchers in their fields, with a focus on moving beyond simple literature summaries to providing novel insights and perspectives. Each issue primarily features concise and timely Reviews and Opinions, supplemented by shorter articles including Spotlights, Forums, and Technology of the Month, as well as impactful pieces like Science & Society and Scientific Life articles.
