Figure 1
Structure similarity, biochemical activities, and catalytic mechanism of JmjC domain-containing protein family. (A) 3D structure depicting the polypeptide backbone of the JmjC domain of JMJD5 (PDB 4gjy) and residues required for iron binding. (B) Structural similarity heatmap for JmjC proteins based on TM-score. The maximum TM-score is used to compare protein structure similarity. (C) Biochemical activities of JmjC proteins. +, oxygenase activity has been detected. (D) Schematics showing the catalytic mechanism of lysine/arginine demethylation mediated by JmjC proteins, including the steps for hydroxylation of the C–H bond and N-methyl group demethylation, via C-hydroxylation, followed by the fragmentation of a hemiaminal intermediate.
