Moreover, JMJD2B expression can be controlled by hypoxia-inducible factor 1alpha (HIF1alpha) in colorectal cancer and estrogen receptor alpha (ERalpha) in breast cancer. It is also involved in bladder, lung, and gastric cancer. JMJD2B contains jmjN and jmjC domains in the N-terminal region, followed by a canonical Cys4HisCys3 PHD finger, a non-canonical extended PHD (ePHD) finger, Cys2HisCys5HisCys2His, and a Tudor domain. This model corresponds to the canonical Cys4HisCys3 PHD finger.

Jumonji domain-containing protein 2A Tudor domain; This is the tudor domain found in histone demethylase Jumonji domain-containing protein 2A (JMJD2A). Structure and function analysis indicate that this domain can recognize equally well two unrelated histone peptides, H3K4me3 and H4K20me3, by means of two very different binding mechanisms. JMJD2 also known as KDM4, is a conserved iron (II)-dependent jumonji-domain demethylase subfamily that is essential during development. Vertebrate KDM4A-C proteins contain a conserved double tudor domain (DTD).

PHD zinc finger; The plant homeodomain (PHD) finger is a C4HC3 zinc-finger-like motif found in nuclear proteins thought to be involved in epigenetics and chromatin-mediated transcriptional regulation. The PHD finger binds two zinc ions using the so-called 'cross-brace' motif and is thus structurally related to the RING finger and the FYVE finger. It is not yet known if PHD fingers have a common molecular function. Several reports suggest that it can function as a protein-protein interacton domain and it was recently demonstrated that the PHD finger of p300 can cooperate with the adjacent BROMO domain in nucleosome binding in vitro. Other reports suggesting that the PHD finger is a ubiquitin ligase have been refuted as these domains were RING fingers misidentified as PHD fingers.

Extended PHD finger found in Jumonji domain-containing protein 2 (JMJD2) family of histone demethylases; The extended plant homeodomain (ePHD) zinc finger is characterized as Cys2HisCys5HisCys2His. This model includes the ePHD finger of JMJD2 proteins. JMJD2 proteins, also termed lysine-specific demethylase 4 histone demethylases (KDM4), have been implicated in various cellular processes including DNA damage response, transcription, cell cycle regulation, cellular differentiation, senescence, and carcinogenesis. They selectively catalyze the demethylation of di- and trimethylated H3K9 and H3K36. This model contains three JMJD2 proteins, JMJD2A-C, which all contain jmjN and jmjC domains in the N-terminal region, followed by a canonical PHD finger, this non-canonical ePHD finger, and a Tudor domain. JMJD2D is not included in this family, since it lacks both PHD and Tudor domains and has a different substrate specificity. JMJD2A-C are required for efficient cancer cell growth.

BRPF1, also termed peregrin, or protein Br140, is a multi-domain protein that binds histones, mediates monocytic leukemic zinc-finger protein (MOZ) -dependent histone acetylation, and is required for Hox gene expression and segmental identity. It is a close partner of the MOZ histone acetyltransferase (HAT) complex and a novel Trithorax group (TrxG) member with a central role during development. BRPF1 is primarily a nuclear protein that has a broad tissue distribution and is abundant in testes and spermatogonia. It contains a plant homeodomain (PHD) zinc finger followed by a non-canonical ePHD finger, a bromodomain and a proline-tryptophan-tryptophan-proline (PWWP) domain. This PHD finger binds to methylated lysine 4 of histone H3 (H3K4me), the bromodomain interacts with acetylated lysines on N-terminal tails of histones and other proteins, and the PWWP domain shows histone-binding and chromatin association properties. BRPF1 may be involved in chromatin remodeling.

Extended PHD finger found in protein Jade-1, Jade-2, Jade-3 and similar proteins; The extended plant homeodomain (ePHD) zinc finger is characterized as Cys2HisCys5HisCys2His. This model includes the ePHD finger of Jade-1 (PHF17), Jade-2 (PHF15), and Jade-3 (PHF16); each of these proteins is required for ING4 and ING5 to associate with histone acetyltransferase (HAT) HBO1 and EAF6 to form a HBO1 complex that has a histone H4-specific acetyltransferase activity, has reduced activity toward histone H3, and is responsible for the bulk of histone H4 acetylation in vivo. This family also contains Drosophila melanogaster PHD finger protein rhinoceros (RNO). It is a novel plant homeodomain (PHD)-containing nuclear protein that may function as a transcription factor that antagonizes Ras signaling by regulating transcription of key EGFR/Ras pathway regulators in the Drosophila eye. All Jade proteins contain a canonical PHD finger followed by this non-canonical ePHD finger, both of which are zinc-binding motifs.

This model includes the ePHD finger of AF-10. AF-10, also termed ALL1 (acute lymphoblastic leukaemia)-fused gene from chromosome 10 protein, is a transcription factor encoded by gene AF10, a translocation partner of the MLL (mixed-lineage leukaemia) oncogene in leukaemia. AF-10 has been implicated in the development of leukemia following chromosomal rearrangements between the AF10 gene and one of at least two other genes, MLL and CALM. It plays a key role in the survival of uncommitted hematopoietic cells. Moreover, AF-10 functions as a follistatin-related gene (FLRG)-interacting protein. The interaction with FLRG enhances AF10-dependent transcription. It interacts with human counterpart of the yeast Dot1, hDOT1L, and may act as a bridge for the recruitment of hDOT1L to the genes targeted by MLL-AF10. It also interacts with the synovial sarcoma associated protein SYT protein and may play a role in synovial sarcomas and acute leukemias. AF-10 contains an N-terminal plant homeodomain (PHD) finger followed by this non-canonical ePHD finger.

Jade-1, also termed PHD finger protein 17 (PHF17), is a novel binding partner of von Hippel-Lindau (VHL) tumor suppressor Pvhl, a key regulator of cellular oxygen sensing pathway. It is highly expressed in renal proximal tubules. Jade-1 functions as an essential regulator of multiple cell signaling pathways. It may be involved in the Serine/threonine kinase AKT/AKT1 pathway during renal cancer pathogenesis and normally prevents renal epithelial cell proliferation and transformation. It also acts as a pro-apoptotic and growth suppressive ubiquitin ligase to inhibit canonical Wnt downstream effector beta-catenin for proteasomal degradation and ASA transcription factor associated with histone acetyltransferase activity and with increased abundance of cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor p21. Moreover, Jade-1 is required for ING4 and ING5 to associate with histone acetyltransferase (HAT) HBO1 and Eaf6 to form a HBO1 complex, and plays a role in epithelial cell regeneration. It has also been identified as a novel component of the nephrocystin protein (NPHP) complex and interacts with the ciliary protein nephrocystin-4 (NPHP4). Jade-1 contains a canonical plant homeodomain (PHD) finger followed by this non-canonical ePHD finger, both of which are zinc-binding motifs.

The PHD finger binds two zinc ions using the so-called 'cross-brace' motif and is thus structurally related to the RING finger and the FYVE finger. It is not yet known if PHD fingers have a common molecular function. Several reports suggest that it can function as a protein-protein interacton domain and it was recently demonstrated that the PHD finger of p300 can cooperate with the adjacent BROMO domain in nucleosome binding in vitro. Other reports suggesting that the PHD finger is a ubiquitin ligase have been refuted as these domains were RING fingers misidentified as PHD fingers.

Tudor domain found in PHD finger protein 20 (PHF20), PHF20-like protein 1 (PHF20L1), and similar proteins; PHF20, also called Glioma-expressed antigen 2, hepatocellular carcinoma-associated antigen 58, novel zinc finger protein, or transcription factor TZP (referring to Tudor and zinc finger domain containing protein), is a regulator of NF-kappaB activation by disrupting recruitment of PP2A to p65. It also functions as a transcription factor that binds to Akt and plays a role in Akt cell survival/growth signaling. Moreover, it transcriptionally regulates p53. The phosphorylation of PHF20 on Ser291 mediated by protein kinase B (PKB) is essential in tumorigenesis via the regulation of p53-mediated signaling. PHF20L1 is an active malignant brain tumor (MBT) domain-containing protein that binds to monomethylated lysine 142 on DNA (cytosine-5) Methyltransferase 1 (DNMT1) (DNMT1K142me1) and colocalizes at the perinucleolar space in a SET7-dependent manner. Both PHF20 and PHF20L1 contain an N-terminal malignant brain tumor (MBT) domain, a Tudor domain, a plant homeodomain (PHD) finger and putative DNA-binding domains AT hook and C2H2-type zinc finger. The Tudor domain binds to proteins with dimethylated arginine or lysine residues, and may also bind methylated histone tails to facilitate protein-protein interactions.

Extended PHD finger found in PHD finger protein 7 (PHF7) and G2/M phase-specific E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase (G2E3); The extended plant homeodomain (ePHD) zinc finger is characterized as Cys2HisCys5HisCys2His. This model includes the ePHD finger of PHF7 and G2E3. PHF7, also termed testis development protein NYD-SP6, is a testis-specific PHD finger-containing protein that associates with chromatin and binds histone H3 N-terminal tails with a preference for dimethyl lysine 4 (H3K4me2). It may play an important role in stimulating transcription involved in testicular development and/or spermatogenesis. PHF7 contains a PHD finger and a non-canonical ePHD finger, both of which may be involved in activating transcriptional regulation. G2E3 is a dual function ubiquitin ligase (E3) that may play a possible role in cell cycle regulation and the cellular response to DNA damage. It is essential for prevention of apoptosis in early embryogenesis. It is also a nucleo-cytoplasmic shuttling protein with DNA damage responsive localization. G2E3 contains two distinct RING-like ubiquitin ligase domains that catalyze lysine 48-linked polyubiquitination, and a C-terminal catalytic HECT domain that plays an important role in ubiquitin ligase activity and in the dynamic subcellular localization of the protein. The RING-like ubiquitin ligase domains consist of a PHD finger and an ePHD finger.

Tudor domain found in polycomb repressive complex 2 (PRC2)-associated polycomb-like (PCL) family proteins; The PCL family includes PHD finger protein1 (PHF1) and its homologs, metal-response element-binding transcription factor 2 (MTF2/PCL2) and PHF19/PCL3, which are accessory components of the Polycomb repressive complex 2 (PRC2) core complex. Members contain an N-terminal Tudor domain followed by two PHD domains, and a C-terminal MTF2 domain. PCL proteins specifically recognize tri-methylated H3K36 (H3K36me3) through their N-terminal Tudor domains. The interaction between their Tudor domains and H3K36me3 is critical for both the targeting and spreading of PRC2 into active chromatin regions and for the maintenance of optimal repression of poised developmental genes where PCL proteins, H3K36me3, and H3K27me3 coexist. Moreover, unlike other PHD domain-containing proteins, the first PHD domains of PCL proteins do not display histone H3K4 binding affinity and they do not affect the binding of the Tudor domain to histones.

Tudor domain found in Lamin-B receptor (LBR) and similar proteins; LBR, also called integral nuclear envelope inner membrane (INM) protein or LMN2R, is a nuclear envelope protein that anchors the lamina and the heterochromatin to the inner nuclear membrane, in cellular senescence induced by excess thymidine. It is also important for cholesterol biosynthesis. LBR can interact with chromodomain proteins and DNA. It contains one Tudor domain. The Tudor domain binds to proteins with dimethylated arginine or lysine residues, and may also bind methylated histone tails to facilitate protein-protein interactions.

Extended PHD finger found in PHD finger protein 6 (PHF6) and PHD finger protein 11 (PHF11); The extended plant homeodomain (ePHD) zinc finger is characterized as Cys2HisCys5HisCys2His. This model includes the two ePHD fingers of PFH6 and the single ePHD finger of PFH11. PHF6, also termed the X-linked mental retardation disorder Borjeson-Forssman-Lehmann syndrome-associated protein, is a nucleolus, ribosomal RNA promoter-associated protein that regulates cell cycle progression by suppressing ribosomal RNA synthesis. It has been implicated in cell cycle control, genomic maintenance, and tumor suppression. PHF6 shows transcriptional repression activity through directly interacting with the nucleosome remodeling and deacetylation complex component RBBP4. PHF6 contains two non-canonical ePHD fingers. PHF11, also termed BRCA1 C-terminus-associated protein, or renal carcinoma antigen NY-REN-34, is a transcriptional co-activator of the Th1 effector cytokine genes, interleukin-2 (IL2) and interferon-gamma (IFNG), co-operating with nuclear factor kappa B (NF-kappaB). It is involved in T-cell activation and viability. Polymorphisms within PHF11 are associated with total IgE, allergic asthma and eczema.
