KDM5 family proteins are best known for their demethylation of the promoter proximal chromatin mark H3K4me3. KDM5-regulated transcription is critical in the brain, with variants in the X-linked paralog causing the intellectual disability (ID) disorder Claes-Jensen syndrome. Although the demethylase activity of KDM5C is known to be important for neuronal function, the contribution of non-enzymatic activities remain less characterized.
