General Information

General Information Comment Organism
physiological function male embryos lacking both H3K27 demethylases Jmjd3 and Utx survive to term. At mid-gestation, embryos demonstrate proper patterning and activation of Hox genes. The embryos retain the Y-chromosome UTtx homolog, UtyY, which cannot demethylate H3K27me3. Embryonic stem cells lacking both Jmjd3 and Utx exhibit a typical decrease in global H3K27me3 levels with differentiation. Retinoic acid differentiations of these embryonic stem cells demonstrate loss of H3K27me3 and gain of H3K4me3 to Hox promoters and other transcription factors, and induce expression similar to control cells. A small subset of genes exhibit decreased expression associated with reduction of promoter H3K4me3 and some low-level accumulation of H3K27me3. Utx and Jmjd3 mutant mouse embryonic fibroblasts demonstrate dramatic loss of H3K27me3 from promoters of several Hox genes and transcription factors Mus musculus
