Advance on JMJC Proteins in Arabidopsis and Oryza sativa

Abstract

Abstract: Epigenetics is to study heritable changes in gene expression and function that occur without a change in DNA sequence.
Jumonji C（jmjC）domain-containing proteins have been identified as histone lysine demethylases, which regulate gene expression and plant development though influencing chromatin remodeling, genomic imprinting or other approaches. In this review, we described the research advance of JMJC proteins during recent years, which could provide a reference for further exploring how JMJC histone demethylases influence the growth and development processes in Arabidopsis and rice.

Key words: Epigenetics, Histone demethylation, Rice, Arabidopsis, JMJC proteins
