The lysine-specific demethylase 5 (KDM5) family, a key post-translational modification of chromatin, can shape tumor immune microenvironment. Here, we performed an extensive clinical and bioinformatic analysis to explore the association between KDM5 mutation and tumor immunity and its impact on the outcomes in pan-cancer immunotherapy. In 2943 patients across 12 tumor types treated with immune checkpoint inhibitors, KDM5-mutant tumors were associated with favorable overall survival (hazard ratio, 0.

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.

2-Oxoglutarate (2OG) dependent N-methyl lysine demethylases (JmjC-KDMs) regulate eukaryotic transcription. We report studies showing that isolated forms of all human KDM4 and KDM5 JmjC enzymes catalyse demethylation of N-methylated Arg-3 of histone H2a. Unexpectedly, the results reveal that KDM4E and, less efficiently, KDM4D catalyse C-4 hydroxylation of Arg-20 of H2a on peptides, recombinant H2a, and calf histone extracts, including when the Arg-20 guanidino group is N-methylated.

Background: The branchial epithelium is one of the main tissues in which histone H3K4 trimethylation (H3K4me3) occurs in the budding tunicate, Polyandrocarpa misakiensis. It contains proliferating and undifferentiated cell aggregates at the bottom of each pharyngeal cleft, providing the nest for the adult stem cell niche. We examined the sustainable mechanism enabling epigenetic histone methylation in adult stem cells.
