General Comments
JMJD6 is a dual arginine demethylase and lysyl hydroxylase of histone and nonhistone proteins [2-3]. It is iron- and 2-oxoglutarate-dependent and is the only known histone arginine demethylase in humans. JMJD6 catalyses the demethylation of H3R2me2, H4R3me2 and H4R3me1 [2]. As a histone arginine demethylase JMJD6 upregulates target gene transcription, and is one of the proteins encoded in the chromosome 17q21-ter gain genetic variant found in human neuroblastoma tissues (and which is a negative prognostic indicator) [1]. As a neuroblastoma tumorigenesis factor JMJD6 is a novel therapeutic target for this cancer [4].
