Lysine-specific demethylase 5C (UniProt P41229; also known as Histone demethylase JARID1C, Jumonji/ARID domain-containing protein 1C, Protein SmcX, Protein Xe169) is encoded by the KDM5C (also known as DXS1272E, JARID1C, MRXSCJ, SMCX, XE169) gene (Gene ID 8242) in human. RBP2 (JARID1A), PLU-1 (JARID1B), KDM5C (JARID1C), and SMCY (JARID1D) constitute the Jumonji/ARID (JARID) subfamily of JmjC-containing proteins. KDM5C/JARID1C catalyzes the demethylation of di- and trimethylated lysine 4 of histone 3 in a Fe(II) and alpha-ketoglutarate-dependent manner. JARID1 catalytic activity is medidated by its JmjC domain (a.a. 468-634), while the JmjN domain (a.a. 14-55) and the C5HC2 zinc finger (a.a. 326-372 & 1187-1248) are both important in assisting JARID1C catalytic activity. JARID1C also contains an AT-rich domain-interacting domain (ARID) that binds DNA and its N-terminal PHD (plant homeodomain) finger (a.a. 326-372) is reported to bind trimethylated lysine 9 on histone 3 (H3K9me3). JARID1C interacts with PCNA through its PCNA-interaction protein (PIP) motif and JARID1C is among 485 chromatin factors enriched at nascent versus mature post-replicative chromatin, indicating a potential transcription-independent role during DNA replication.
