JmjC

A domain family that is part of the cupin metalloenzyme superfamily.
JmjC
SMART accession number:SM00558
Description: Probable enzymes, but of unknown functions, that regulate chromatin reorganisation processes (Clissold and Ponting, in press).
Interpro abstract (IPR003347):

This entry contains:

  • Aspartyl (asparaginyl) beta-hydroxylase (AAH). AAH is an alpha-ketoglutarate-dependent dioxygenase that hydroxylates aspartate and asparagine residues in EGF-like domains of proteins (PUBMED:12713872).
  • and

  • The transcription factor Jumonji which is required for neural tube formation in mice (PUBMED:7758946).There is evidence of domain swapping within the jumonji family of transcription factors (PUBMED:10838566). This domain is often associated with JmjN (see IPR003349).
