1.14.11.73 | physiological function |
JMJD5 has divalent cation-dependent protease activities that preferentially cleave the tails of histones 2, 3, or 4 containing methylated arginines, e.g. reaction of EC 1.14.11.27. After the initial specific cleavage, JMJD5 acting as aminopeptidase, progressively digests the C-terminal products. JMJD5-deficient fibroblasts exhibit dramatically increased levels of methylated arginines and histones |
