Overview of Gene Research
Jmjd7, or Jumonji-C (JmjC) domain-containing 7, is a 2-oxoglutarate (2OG)-dependent oxygenase [1]. It has been shown to play significant roles in multiple biological processes and diseases. Functionally, it catalyzes (3S)-lysyl hydroxylation of developmentally regulated GTP-binding proteins 1 and 2 (DRG1/2), which are members of the translation factor (TRAFAC) family of GTPases [2]. It also has been reported to have histone endopeptidase activity, preferentially cleaving the tails of histones containing methylated arginines [4]. It may be involved in pathways related to transcription regulation, as its protease activities could potentially define a mechanism for removing histone tails with methylated arginine residues, thereby influencing transcription [4].
Knockdown of Jmjd7 in RAW 264.7 cells and murine bone marrow macrophages (BMMs) enhanced osteoclast differentiation and increased the expression of osteoclast-related genes, suggesting that Jmjd7 negatively regulates osteoclastogenesis and may be a therapeutic target for bone-related diseases [3]. Ablation of the read-through fusion gene JMJD7-PLA2G4B significantly inhibited the proliferation of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) cells, indicating that JMJD7-PLA2G4B may serve as an important therapeutic target and prognostic marker for HNSCC development and progression [5].
In conclusion, Jmjd7 has diverse functions, including lysyl hydroxylation and histone endopeptidase activities. Its role in negatively regulating osteoclast differentiation and the oncogenic function of its fusion gene JMJD7-PLA2G4B in HNSCC highlight its importance in bone-related diseases and cancer. Studies on Jmjd7 using knockdown models provide insights into its biological functions and potential as a therapeutic target in these disease areas.
