Query author contributions in Reactome

Reactome depends on collaboration between our curation team and outside experts to assemble and peer-review its pathway modules. The integration of ORCID within Reactome enables us to meet a key challenge with authoring, curating and reviewing biological information by incentivizing and crediting the external experts that contribute their expertise and time to the Reactome curation process. More information is available at ORCID and Reactome.

If you have an ORCID ID that is not listed on this page, please forward this information to us and we will update your Reactome pathway records.

commentFUNCTION Demethylates lysine in proteins, such as STAT3 or MDC1 (By similarity) (PubMed:24240613). Demethylates MDC1, thereby promoting MDC1-RNF8 interaction and facilitating RNF8-dependent MDC1 ubiquitination essential for double-strand break (DSB) repair (PubMed:24240613). Demethylation of STAT3 at 'Lys-140' facilitates its interactions with the phosphatase PTPN6 and restrains STAT3 activation (By similarity). It is uncertain whether JMJD1C removes methyl groups from histone proteins as the other JMJD1/KDM3 proteins do (PubMed:23593242, PubMed:24240613, PubMed:32034158). Nevertheless, JMJD1C may act as a context-specific histone demethylase. Implicated in lipogenic gene transcription in the liver, where USF1 recruits JMJD1C to lipogenic promoters in response to insulin or feeding stimuli, thereby potentially promoting H3K9me2 demethylation and enhancing chromatin accessibility (PubMed:32034158). Post-translational modifications may regulate JMJD1C's enzymatic activity, contributing to its context-specific functions (PubMed:32034158). Alternatively, JMJD1C may influence chromatin regulation indirectly, acting as a scaffold or co-regulator that recruits or stabilizes other active demethylase complexes modifying histone marks (PubMed:24240613). Plays an indispensable role in spermatogenesis (By similarity).FUNCTION Coactivator of androgen receptor.COFACTOR Binds 1 Fe(2+) ion per subunit.ACTIVITY REGULATION Demethylase activity is regulated post-translationally via phosphorylation.SUBUNIT Interacts with RNF8; promotes interaction between RNF8 and MDC1 through demethylation of MDC1.INTERACTION Ubiquitinated. Protein abundance of JMJD1C is regulated by the ubiquitin proteasome pathway.PTM Phosphorylated. Phosphorylation at Thr-505 by mTORC1 complex in response to insulin/feeding.SIMILARITY Belongs to the JHDM2 histone demethylase family.CAUTION It is uncertain whether JMJD1C removes methyl groups from histone proteins as the other JMJD/KDM3 proteins do. Independent studies show conflicting conclusions that either succeeded or failed to substantiate the existence of histone demethylase activity of JMJD1C (PubMed:23593242, PubMed:24240613, PubMed:32034158). This conflicting data suggests JMJD1C's role may be context-dependent. It may be possible that JMJD1C contributes to H3K9 demethylation in the very restricted regions of the genome.
