PHD zinc finger; The plant homeodomain (PHD) finger is a C4HC3 zinc-finger-like motif found in nuclear proteins thought to be involved in epigenetics and chromatin-mediated transcriptional regulation. The PHD finger binds two zinc ions using the so-called 'cross-brace' motif and is thus structurally related to the RING finger and the FYVE finger. It is not yet known if PHD fingers have a common molecular function. Several reports suggest that it can function as a protein-protein interacton domain and it was recently demonstrated that the PHD finger of p300 can cooperate with the adjacent BROMO domain in nucleosome binding in vitro. Other reports suggesting that the PHD finger is a ubiquitin ligase have been refuted as these domains were RING fingers misidentified as PHD fingers.

PHD finger 2 and 3 found in bromodomain and PHD finger-containing transcription factor (BPTF); BPTF, also termed nucleosome-remodeling factor subunit BPTF, or fetal Alz-50 clone 1 protein (FAC1), or fetal Alzheimer antigen, functions as a transcriptional regulator that exhibits altered expression and subcellular localization during neuronal development and neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's disease. It interacts with the human orthologue of the Kelch-like Ech-associated protein (Keap1). Its function and subcellular localization can be regulated by Keap1. Moreover, BPTF is a novel DNA-binding protein that recognizes the DNA sequence CACAACAC and represses transcription through this site in a phosphorylation-dependent manner. Furthermore, BPTF interacts with the Myc-associated zinc finger protein (ZF87/MAZ) and alters its transcriptional activity, which has been implicated in gene regulation in neurodegeneration. Some family members contain two or three plant homeodomain (PHD) fingers, which may be involved in complex formation with histone H3 trimethylated at K4 (H3K4me3). This family corresponds to the second and third PHD fingers.

PHD finger found in CXXC-type zinc finger protein 1 (Cfp1); Cfp1, also termed CpG-binding protein, or PHD finger and CXXC domain-containing protein 1 (PCCX1), is a specificity factor that binds to unmethylated CpGs and links H3K4me3 with CpG islands (CGIs). It integrates both promoter CpG content and gene activity for accurate trimethylation of histone H3 Lys 4 (H3K4me3) deposition in embryonic stem cells. Moreover, Cfp1 is an essential component of the SETD1 histone H3K4 methyltransferase complex and functions as a critical regulator of histone methylation, cytosine methylation, cellular differentiation, and vertebrate development. Cfp1 contains a plant homeodomain (PHD) finger, a CXXC domain, and a CpG binding protein zinc finger C-terminal domain. Its CXXC domain selectively binds to non-methylated CpG islands, following by a preference for a guanosine nucleotide.

PHD finger found in death-inducer obliterator variants Dido1, Dido2, and Dido3; This family includes three alternative splicing variants (Dido1, 2, and 3) encoded by the Dido gene, which have been implicated in a number of cellular processes such as apoptosis and chromosomal segregation, particularly in the hematopoietic system. Dido1, also termed DIO-1, or death-associated transcription factor 1 (DATF-1), is important for maintaining embryonic stem (ES) cells and directly regulates the expression of pluripotency factors. It is the shortest isoform that contains only a highly conserved plant homeodomain (PHD) finger responsible for the binding of histone H3 with a higher affinity for trimethylated lysine 4 (H3K4me3). Gene Dido is a Bonemorphogenetic protein (BMP) target gene, which promotes BMP-induced melanoma progression. It also triggers apoptosis after nuclear translocation and caspase upregulation. Dido3 is the largest isoform ubiquitously expressed in all human tissues. It is dispensable for ES cell self-renewal and pluripotency, but involved in the maintenance of stem cell genomic stability and tumorigenesis. Dido3 contains a PHD finger, a transcription elongation factor S-II subunit M (TFSIIM) domain, aspen paralog and ortholog (SPOC) module, and a long C-terminal region (CT) of unknown homology. Its PHD finger interacts with H3K4me3.

PHD finger found in PHD finger protein 3 (PHF3), and death-inducer obliterator variants Dido1, Dido2, and Dido3; PHF3 is a human homolog of yeast protein bypass of Ess1 (Bye1), a nuclear protein with a domain resembling the central domain in the transcription elongation factor TFIIS. It is ubiquitously expressed in normal tissues including brain, but its expression is significantly reduced or lost in glioblastomas. PHF3 contains an N-terminal plant homeodomain (PHD) finger, a central RNA polymerase II (Pol II)-binding TFIIS-like domain (TLD) domain, and a C-terminal Spen paralogue and orthologue C-terminal (SPOC) domain.

PHD finger found in lysine-specific demethylase PHF2; PHF2, also termed GRC5, or PHD finger protein 2, is a histone lysine demethylase ubiquitously expressed in various tissues. It contains a plant homeodomain (PHD) finger and a JmjC domain and plays an important role in adipogenesis. The PHD finger domain can recognize trimethylated histone H3 lysine 4 (H3K4me3). PHF2 also has dimethylated histone H3 lysine 9(H3K9me2) demethylase activity and acts as a coactivator of several metabolism-related transcription factors. Moreover, it can demethylate ARID5B and further forms a complex with demethylated ARD5B to bind the promoter regions of target genes. The overexpression of PHF2 is involved in the progression of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC).

PHD finger found in Transcription factor 19 (TCF-19), Lysine-specific demethylase KDM5A and KDM5B, and other similar proteins; TCF-19 was identified as a putative trans-activating factor with expression beginning at the late G1-S boundary in dividing cells. It functions as a novel islet factor necessary for proliferation and survival in the INS-1 beta cell line. It plays an important role in susceptibility to both Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus (T1DM) and Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM); it has been suggested that it may positively impact beta cell mass under conditions of beta cell stress and increased insulin demand. KDM5A was originally identified as a retinoblastoma protein (Rb)-binding partner and its inactivation may be important for Rb to promote differentiation. It is involved in transcription through interaction with TBP, p107, nuclear receptors, Myc, Sin3/HDAC, Mad1, RBP-J, CLOCK, and BMAL1. KDM5B has a restricted expression pattern in the testis, ovary, and transiently in the mammary gland of the pregnant female and has been shown to be upregulated in breast cancer, prostate cancer, and lung cancer, suggesting a potential role in tumorigenesis. Both KDM5A and KDM5B function as trimethylated histone H3 lysine 4 (H3K4me3) demethylases. This family also includes Caenorhabditis elegans Lysine-specific demethylase 7 homolog (ceKDM7A). ceKDM7A (also termed JmjC domain-containing protein 1.2, PHD finger protein 8 homolog, or PHF8 homolog) is a plant homeodomain (PHD)- and JmjC domain-containing protein that functions as a histone demethylase specific for H3K9me2 and H3K27me2. The binding of the PHD finger to H3K4me3 guides H3K9me2- and H3K27me2-specific demethylation by its catalytic JmjC domain in a trans-histone regulation mechanism. In addition, this family includes plant protein OBERON 1 and OBERON 2, Alfin1-like (AL) proteins, histone acetyltransferases (HATs) HAC, and AT-rich interactive domain-containing protein 4 (ARID4).

PHD finger found in PHD and RING finger domain-containing protein 1 (PHRF1); PHRF1, also termed KIAA1542, or CTD-binding SR-like protein rA9, is a ubiquitin ligase that induces the ubiquitination of TGIF (TG-interacting factor) at lysine 130. It acts as a tumor suppressor that promotes the transforming growth factor (TGF)-beta cytostatic program through selective release of TGIF-driven promyelocytic leukemia protein (PML) inactivation. PHRF1 contains a plant homeodomain (PHD) finger and a RING finger.

PHD finger 3 found in Lysine-specific demethylase 5A (KDM5A), 5B (KDM5B), and similar proteins; The family includes KDM5A and KDM5B, both of which belong to the JARID subfamily within the JmjC proteins. KDM5A, also termed Histone demethylase JARID1A, or Jumonji/ARID domain-containing protein 1A, or Retinoblastoma-binding protein 2 (RBBP-2 or RBP2), was originally identified as a retinoblastoma protein (Rb)-binding partner and its inactivation may be important for Rb to promote differentiation. It is involved in transcription through interacting with TBP, p107, nuclear receptors, Myc, Sin3/HDAC, Mad1, RBP-J, CLOCK and BMAL1. KDM5A functions as the trimethylated histone H3 lysine 4 (H3K4me3) demethylase. It also displays DNA-binding activities that can recognize the specific DNA sequence CCGCCC. KDM5B, also termed Cancer/testis antigen 31 (CT31), or Histone demethylase JARID1B, or Jumonji/ARID domain-containing protein 1B (JARID1B), or PLU-1, or retinoblastoma-binding protein 2 homolog 1 (RBP2-H1 or RBBP2H1A), has a restricted expression pattern in the testis, ovary, and transiently in the mammary gland of the pregnant female and has been shown to be upregulated in breast cancer, prostate cancer, and lung cancer, suggesting a potential role in tumorigenesis. KDM5B acts as a histone demethylase that catalyzes the removal of trimethylation of lysine 4 on histone H3 (H3K4me3), induced by polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs). It also mediates demethylation of H3K4me2 and H3K4me1. Moreover, KDM5B functions as a negative regulator of hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) self-renewal and progenitor cell activity. KDM5B has also been shown to interact with the DNA binding transcription factors BF-1 and PAX9, as well asTIEG1/KLF10 (transforming growth factor-beta inducible early gene-1/Kruppel-like transcription factor 10), and possibly function as a transcriptional corepressor.

PHD finger found in ubiquitin-like PHD and RING finger domain-containing protein UHRF1 and UHRF2; UHRF1 is a unique chromatin effector protein that integrates the recognition of both histone PTMs and DNA methylation. It is essential for cell proliferation and plays a critical role in the development and progression of many human carcinomas, such as laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma (LSCC), gastric cancer (GC), esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC), colorectal cancer, prostate cancer, and breast cancer. UHRF1 acts as a transcriptional repressor through its binding to histone H3 when it is unmodified at Arg2. Its overexpression in human lung fibroblasts results in downregulation of expression of the tumour suppressor pRB. It also plays a role in transcriptional repression of the cell cycle regulator p21. Moreover, UHRF1-dependent repression of transcription factors can facilitate the G1-S transition. It interacts with Tat-interacting protein of 60 kDa (TIP60) and induces degradation-independent ubiquitination of TIP60. It is also an N-methylpurine DNA glycosylase (MPG)-interacting protein that binds MPG in a p53 status-independent manner in the DNA base excision repair (BER) pathway. In addition, UHRF1 functions as an epigenetic regulator that is important for multiple aspects of epigenetic regulation, including maintenance of DNA methylation patterns and recognition of various histone modifications. UHRF2 was originally identified as a ubiquitin ligase acting as a small ubiquitin-like modifier (SUMO) E3 ligase that enhances zinc finger protein 131 (ZNF131) SUMOylation but does not enhance ZNF131 ubiquitination. It also ubiquitinates PCNP, a PEST-containing nuclear protein. Moreover, UHRF2 functions as a nuclear protein involved in cell-cycle regulation and has been implicated in tumorigenesis. It interacts with cyclins, CDKs, p53, pRB, PCNA, HDAC1, DNMTs, G9a, methylated histone H3 lysine 9, and methylated DNA. It interacts with the cyclin E-CDK2 complex, ubiquitinates cyclins D1 and E1, induces G1 arrest, and is involved in the G1/S transition regulation. Furthermore, UHRF2 is a direct transcriptional target of the transcription factor E2F-1 in the induction of apoptosis. It recruits HDAC1 and binds to methyl-CpG. UHRF2 also participates in the maturation of Hepatitis B virus (HBV) by interacting with the HBV core protein and promoting its degradation. Both UHRF1 and UHRF2 contain an N-terminal ubiquitin-like domain (UBL), a tandem Tudor domain (TTD), a plant homeodomain (PHD) finger, a SET- and RING-associated (SRA) domain, and a C-terminal RING finger.

PHD finger found in Remodeling and spacing factor 1 (Rsf-1); Rsf-1, also termed HBV pX-associated protein 8, or Hepatitis B virus X-associated protein alpha (HBxAPalpha), or p325 subunit of RSF chromatin-remodeling complex, is a novel nuclear protein with histone chaperon function. It is a subunit of an ISWI chromatin remodeling complex, remodeling and spacing factor (RSF), and plays a role in mediating ATPase-dependent chromatin remodeling and conferring tumor aggressiveness in common carcinomas. As an ataxia-telangiectasia mutated (ATM)-dependent chromatin remodeler, Rsf-1 facilitates DNA damage checkpoints and homologous recombination repair. It regulates the mitotic spindle checkpoint and chromosome instability through the association with serine/threonine kinase BubR1 (BubR1) and Hepatitis B virus (HBV) X protein (HBx) in the chromatin fraction during mitosis. It also interacts with cyclin E1 and promotes tumor development. Rsf-1 contains a plant homeodomain (PHD) finger.

PHD finger found in mixed lineage leukemia 5 (MLL5); MLL5 is a histone methyltransferase that plays a key role in hematopoiesis, spermatogenesis and cell cycle progression. It contains a single plant homeodomain (PHD) finger followed by a catalytic SET domain. MLL5 can be recruited to E2F1-responsive promoters to stimulate H3K4 trimethylation and transcriptional activation by binding to the cell cycle regulator host cell factor (HCF-1), thereby facilitating the cell cycle G1 to S phase transition. It is also involved in mitotic fidelity and genomic integrity by modulating the stability of the chromosomal passenger complex (CPC) via the interaction with Borealin. Moreover, MLL5 is a component of a complex associated with retinoic acid receptor that requires GlcN Acylation of its SET domain in order to activate its histone lysine methyltransferase activity. It also participates in the camptothecin (CPT)-induced p53 activation. Furthermore, MLL5 indirectly regulates H3K4 methylation, represses cyclin A2 (CycA) expression, and promotes myogenic differentiation.

PHD domain found in Saccharomyces cerevisiae bypass of ESS1 protein 1 (Bye1p), the E3 Sumo Ligase SIZ1, and similar proteins; Yeast Bye1p is a nuclear transcription factor with a domain resembling the central domain in the transcription elongation factor TFIIS and plays an inhibitory role during transcription elongation. It functions as a multicopy suppressor of Ess1, a peptidyl-prolyl cis-trans isomerase involved in proline isomerization of the C-terminal domain (CTD) of RNA polymerase II (Pol II). Bye1p contains an N-terminal plant homeodomain (PHD) finger, a central Pol II-binding TFIIS-like domain (TLD) domain, and a C-terminal Spen paralogue and orthologue C-terminal (SPOC) domain. The PHD domain binds to a histone H3 tail peptide containing trimethylated lysine 4 (H3K4me3). The TLD domain is responsible for the association with chromatin. Plant SIZ1 protein is a SUMO (small ubiquitin-related modifier) E3 ligase that facilitates conjugation of SUMO to substrate target proteins (sumoylation) and belongs to the protein inhibitor of activated STAT (PIAS) protein family. It negatively regulates abscisic acid (ABA) signaling, which is dependent on the bZIP transcripton factor ABI5. It also modulates plant growth and plays a role in drought stress response likely through the regulation of gene expression. SIZ1 functions as a floral repressor that not only represses the salicylic acid (SA)-dependent pathway, but also promotes FLOWERING LOCUS C (FLC) expression by repressing FLOWERING LOCUS D (FLD) activity through sumoylation. SIZ1 contains a PHD finger, which specifically binds methylated histone H3 at lysine 4 and arginine 2.

PHD finger found in Schizosaccharomyces pombe meiosis-specific protein hop1 (Hop1p) and similar proteins; Fission yeast Hop1p, also termed linear element-associated protein hop1, is an S. pombe homolog of the synaptonemal complex (SC)-associated protein Hop1 in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. In contrast to S. cerevisiae, S. pombe forms thin threads, known as linear elements (LinEs), in meiotic nuclei, instead of a canonical synaptonemal complex. LinEs contain Rec10 protein and are evolutionary relics of SC axial elements. Fission yeast Hop1p is a linear element (LinE)-associated protein. It also associates with Rec10, which plays a role in recruiting the recombination machinery to chromatin. Hop1p contains an N-terminal HORMA (for Hop1p, Rev7p, and MAD2) domain and a C-terminal plant homeodomain (PHD) finger.

PHD finger found in inhibitor of growth protein 4 (ING4) and 5 (ING5); ING4, also termed p29ING4, and ING5, also termed p28ING5, belong to the inhibitor of growth (ING) family of type II tumor suppressors. ING4 acts as an E3 ubiquitin ligase to induce ubiquitination of the p65 subunit of NF-kappaB and inhibit the transactivation of NF-kappaB target genes. It also induces apoptosis through a p53 dependent pathway, including increasing p53 acetylation, inhibiting Mdm2-mediated degradation of p53 and enhancing the expression of p53 responsive genes both at the transcriptional and post-translational levels. Moreover, ING4 can inhibit the translation of proto-oncogene MYC by interacting with AUF1. It also regulates other transcription factors, such as hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF). ING5 is a Tip60 cofactor that acetylates p53 at K120 and subsequently activates the expression of p53-dependent apoptotic genes in response to DNA damage. Aberrant ING5 expression may contribute to pathogenesis, growth, and invasion of gastric carcinomas and colorectal cancer. ING5 can physically interact with p300 and p53 in vivo, and its overexpression induces apoptosis in colorectal cancer cells. It also associates with cyclin A1 (INCA1) and functions as a growth suppressor with suppressed expression in Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML). Moreover, ING5 translocation from the nucleus to the cytoplasm might be a critical event for carcinogenesis and tumor progression in human head and neck squamous cell carcinoma. Both ING4 and ING5 contain an N-terminal ING histone-binding domain and a C-terminal plant homeodomain (PHD) finger. They associate with histone acetyltransferase (HAT) complexes containing MOZ (monocytic leukemia zinc finger protein)/MORF (MOZ-related factor) and HBO1, and further direct the MOZ/MORF and HBO1 complexes to chromatin.

PHF1 is essential in epigenetic regulation and genome maintenance. It acts as a dual reader of Lysine trimethylation at Lysine 36 of Histone H3 and Lysine 27 of Histone variant H3t. PHF1 consists of an N-terminal Tudor domain followed by two plant homeodomain (PHD) fingers, and a C-terminal MTF2 domain. Its Tudor domain selectively binds to histone H3K36me3. Moreover, PHF1 is required for efficient H3K27me3 and Hox gene silencing. It can mediate deposition of the repressive H3K27me3 mark and acts as a cofactor in early DNA-damage response. This model corresponds to the second PHD finger.

It is ubiquitously expressed and has been implicated in transcription modulation, cell cycle control, and the induction of apoptosis. It is an important subunit of human NuA4 histone acetyltransferase complex, which regulates the acetylation of histones H2A and H4. Moreover, ING3 promotes ultraviolet (UV)-induced apoptosis through the Fas/caspase-8-dependent pathway in melanoma cells. It physically interacts with subunits of E3 ligase Skp1-Cullin-F-boxprotein complex (SCF complex) and is degraded by the SCF (F-box protein S-phase kinase-associated protein 2, Skp2)-mediated ubiquitin-proteasome system. It also acts as a suppression factor during tumorigenesis and progression of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). ING3 contains an N-terminal ING domain and a C-terminal plant homeodomain (PHD) finger.

PHD finger 3 found in Histone-lysine N-methyltransferase 2B (KMT2B); KMT2B, also termed trithorax homolog 2 or WW domain-binding protein 7 (WBP-7), is encoded by the gene that was first named myeloid/lymphoid or mixed-lineage leukemia 2 (MLL2), a second human homolog of Drosophila trithorax, located on chromosome 19. It belongs to the MLL subfamily of H3K4-specific histone lysine methyltransferases (KMT2) and is vital for normal mammalian embryonic development. KMT2B functions as the catalytic subunit in the MLL2 complex, which contains WDR5, RbBP5, ASH2L and DPY30 as integral core subunits required for the efficient methylation activity of the complex. The MLL2 complex is highly active and specific for histone 3 lysine 4 (H3K4) methylation, which stimulates chromatin transcription in a SAM- and H3K4-dependent manner. Moreover, KMT2B plays a critical role in memory formation through mediating hippocampal H3K4 di- and trimethylation. It is also required for RNA polymerase II association and protection from DNA methylation at the MagohB CpG island promoter.

KDM5A was originally identified as a retinoblastoma protein (Rb)-binding partner and its inactivation may be important for Rb to promote differentiation. It is involved in transcription through interacting with TBP, p107, nuclear receptors, Myc, Sin3/HDAC, Mad1, RBP-J, CLOCK and BMAL1. KDM5B has a restricted expression pattern in the testis, ovary, and transiently in the mammary gland of the pregnant female and has been shown to be upregulated in breast cancer, prostate cancer, and lung cancer, suggesting a potential role in tumorigenesis. Both KDM5A and KDM5B function as trimethylated histone H3 lysine 4 (H3K4me3) demethylases. KDM5C is a H3K4 trimethyl-histone demethylase that catalyzes demethylation of H3K4me3 and H3K4me2 to H3K4me1. It plays a role in neuronal survival and dendrite development. KDM5C defects are associated with X-linked mental retardation (XLMR). KDM5D is a male-specific antigen that shows a demethylase activity specific for di- and tri-methylated histone H3K4 (H3K4me2 and H3K4me3), and has a male-specific function as a histone H3K4 demethylase by recruiting a meiosis-regulatory protein, MSH5, to condensed DNA.

PHD finger found in inhibitor of growth protein 1 (ING1) and 2 (ING2); ING1 is an epigenetic regulator and a type II tumor suppressor that impacts cell growth, aging, apoptosis, and DNA repair, by affecting chromatin conformation and gene expression. It acts as a reader of the active chromatin mark, the trimethylation of histone H3 lysine 4 (H3K4me3). It binds and directs Growth arrest and DNA damage inducible protein 45 a (Gadd45a) to target sites, thus linking the histone code with DNA demethylation. It interacts with the proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) via the PCNA-interacting protein (PIP) domain in a UV-inducible manner. It also interacts with a PCNA-interacting protein, p15 (PAF). Moreover, ING1 associates with members of the 14-3-3 family, which is necessary for cytoplasmic relocalization. Endogenous ING1 protein specifically interacts with the pro-apoptotic BCL2 family member BAX and colocalizes with BAX in a UV-inducible manner. It stabilizes the p53 tumor suppressor by inhibiting polyubiquitination of multi-monoubiquitinated forms via interaction with and colocalization of the herpesvirus-associated ubiquitin-specific protease (HAUSP)-deubiquitinase with p53. It is also involved in trichostatin A-induced apoptosis and caspase 3 signaling in p53-deficient glioblastoma cells. In addition, tyrosine kinase Src can bind and phosphorylate ING1 and further regulates its activity. ING2, also termed inhibitor of growth 1-like protein (ING1Lp), or p32, or p33ING2, belongs to the inhibitor of growth (ING) family of type II tumor suppressors. It is a core component of a multi-factor chromatin-modifying complex containing the transcriptional co-repressor SIN3A and histone deacetylase 1 (HDAC1). It has been implicated in the control of cell cycle, in genome stability, and in muscle differentiation. ING2 independently interacts with H3K4me3 (Histone H3 trimethylated on lysine 4) and PtdIns(5)P, and modulates crosstalk between lysine methylation and lysine acetylation on histone proteins through association with chromatin in the presence of DNA damage. It collaborates with SnoN to mediate transforming growth factor (TGF)-beta-induced Smad-dependent transcription and cellular responses. It is upregulated in colon cancer and increases invasion by enhanced MMP13 expression. It also acts as a cofactor of p300 for p53 acetylation and plays a positive regulatory role during p53-mediated replicative senescence. Both ING1 and ING2 contain an N-terminal ING domain and a C-terminal plant homeodomain (PHD) finger.

PHD finger 6 found in Histone-lysine N-methyltransferase 2C (KMT2C) and PHD finger 5 found in KMT2D; KMT2C, also termed myeloid/lymphoid or mixed-lineage leukemia protein 3 (MLL3), or homologous to ALR protein, is a histone H3 lysine 4 (H3K4) lysine methyltransferase that functions as a circadian factor contributing to genome-scale circadian transcription. It is a component of a large complex that acts as a coactivator of multiple transcription factors, including the bile acid (BA)-activated nuclear receptor, farnesoid X receptor (FXR), a critical player in BA homeostasis. The MLL3 complex is essential for p53 transactivation of small heterodimer partner (SHP). KMT2C is also a part of activating signal cointegrator-2 (ASC-2)-containing complex (ASCOM) that contains the transcriptional coactivator nuclear receptor coactivator 6 (NCOA6), KMT2C and its paralog MLL4. The ASCOM complex is critical for nuclear receptor (NR) activation of bile acid transporter genes and is down regulated in cholestasis. KMT2D, also termed ALL1-related protein (ALR), is encoded by the gene that was named MLL4, a fourth human homolog of Drosophila trithorax, located on chromosome 12. It enzymatically generates trimethylated histone H3 Lysine 4 (H3K4me3). It plays an essential role in differentiating the human pluripotent embryonal carcinoma cell line NTERA-2 clone D1 (NT2/D1) stem cells by activating differentiation-specific genes, such as HOXA1-3 and NESTIN. KMT2D is also a part of ASCOM. Both KMT2C and KMT2D contain the catalytic domain SET, several plant homeodomain (PHD) fingers, two extended PHD (ePHD) fingers, Cys2HisCys5HisCys2His, a RING finger, an HMG (high-mobility group)-binding motif, and two FY-rich regions. This model corresponds to the sixth PHD finger of KMT2C and the fifth PHD finger of KMT2D.

It also ubiquitinates PCNP, a PEST-containing nuclear protein. Moreover, UHRF2 functions as a nuclear protein involved in cell-cycle regulation and has been implicated in tumorigenesis. It interacts with cyclins, CDKs,p53, pRB, PCNA, HDAC1, DNMTs, G9a, methylated histone H3 lysine 9, and methylated DNA. It interacts with the cyclin E-CDK2 complex, ubiquitinates cyclins D1 and E1, induces G1 arrest, and is involved in the G1/S transition regulation. Furthermore, UHRF2 is a direct transcriptional target of the transcription factor E2F-1 in the induction of apoptosis. It recruits HDAC1 and binds to methyl-CpG. UHRF2 also participates in the maturation of Hepatitis B virus (HBV) by interacting with the HBV core protein and promoting its degradation. UHRF2 contains an N-terminal ubiquitin-like domain (UBL), a tandem Tudor domain (TTD), a plant homeodomain (PHD) finger, a SET- and RING-associated (SRA) domain, and a C-terminal RING finger.

PHD finger found in bromodomain adjacent to zinc finger domain protein BAZ1A and BAZ1B; BAZ1A, also termed ATP-dependent chromatin-remodeling protein, or ATP-utilizing chromatin assembly and remodeling factor 1 (ACF1), or CHRAC subunit ACF1, or Williams syndrome transcription factor-related chromatin-remodeling factor 180 (WCRF180), or WALp1, is a subunit of the conserved imitation switch (ISWI)-family ATP-dependent chromatin assembly and remodeling factor (ACF)/chromatin accessibility complex (CHRAC) chromatin remodeling complex, which is required for DNA replication through heterochromatin. It alters the remodeling properties of the ATPase motor protein sucrose nonfermenting-2 homolog (SNF2H). Moreover, BAZ1A and its complexes play important roles in DNA double-strand break (DSB) repair. It is essential for averting improper gene expression during spermatogenesis. It also regulates transcriptional repression of vitamin D3 receptor-regulated genes. BAZ1B, also termed Tyrosine-protein kinase BAZ1B, or Williams syndrome transcription factor (WSTF), or Williams-Beuren syndrome chromosomal region 10 protein, Williams-Beuren syndrome chromosomal region 9 protein, or WALp2, is a multifunctional protein implicated in several nuclear processes, including replication, transcription, and the DNA damage response. BAZ1B/WSTF, together with the imitation switch (ISWI) ATPase, forms a WSTF-ISWI chromatin remodeling complex (WICH), which transiently associates with the human inactive X chromosome (Xi) during late S-phase prior to BRCA1 and gamma-H2AX. Moreover, BAZ1B/WSTF, SNF2h, and nuclear myosin 1 (NM1) forms the chromatin remodeling complex B-WICH that is involved in regulating rDNA transcription. Both BAZ1A and BAZ1B contain a WAC motif, a DDT domain, BAZ 1 and BAZ 2 motifs, a WAKZ (WSTF/Acf1/KIAA0314/ZK783.4) motif, a plant homeodomain (PHD) finger, and a bromodomain.

PHD finger found in yeast orthologs of ING tumor suppressor family; The yeast orthologs of the plant homeodomain (PHD) finger-containing ING tumor suppressor family consists of chromatin modification-related protein YNG1 (Yng1p), YNG2 (Yng2p), and transcriptional regulatory protein PHO23 (Pho23p). Yng1p, also termed ING1 homolog 1, is one of the components of the NuA3 histone acetyltransferase (HAT) complex. Its PHD finger binding to H3 Trimethylated at K4 (H3K4me3) promotes NuA3 H3 HAT activity at K14 of H3 on chromatin. Yng2p, also termed ESA1-associated factor 4, or ING1 homolog 2, is a subunit of the NuA4 HAT complex. It plays a critical role in intra-S-phase DNA damage response. Pho23p is part of the Rpd3/Sin3 histone deacetylase (HDAC) complex. It is required for the normal function of Rpd3 in the silencing of rDNA, telomeric, and mating-type loci. Yng1p and Pho23p inhibit p53-dependent transcription. In contrast, Yng2p has the opposite effect. All family members contain an N-terminal ING histone-binding domain and a C-terminal PHD finger.

PHD finger 2 found in Lysine-specific demethylase KDM5A, KDM5B, KDM5C, KDM5D, and similar proteins; The JARID subfamily within the JmjC proteins includes Lysine-specific demethylase KDM5A, KDM5B, KDM5C, KDM5D and a Drosophila homolog protein, little imaginal discs (Lid). KDM5A was originally identified as a retinoblastoma protein (Rb)-binding partner and its inactivation may be important for Rb to promote differentiation. It is involved in transcription through interacting with TBP, p107, nuclear receptors, Myc, Sin3/HDAC, Mad1, RBP-J, CLOCK, and BMAL1. KDM5B has a restricted expression pattern in the testis, ovary, and transiently in the mammary gland of the pregnant female and has been shown to be upregulated in breast cancer, prostate cancer, and lung cancer, suggesting a potential role in tumorigenesis. Both KDM5A and KDM5B function as trimethylated histone H3 lysine 4 (H3K4me3) demethylases. KDM5C is a H3K4 trimethyl-histone demethylase that catalyzes demethylation of H3K4me3 and H3K4me2 to H3K4me1. It plays a role in neuronal survival and dendrite development. KDM5C defects are associated with X-linked mental retardation (XLMR). KDM5D is a male-specific antigen that shows a demethylase activity specific for di- and tri-methylated histone H3K4 (H3K4me3 and H3K4me2), and has a male-specific function as a histone H3K4 demethylase by recruiting a meiosis-regulatory protein, MSH5, to condensed DNA. KDM5D directly interacts with a polycomb-like protein Ring6a/MBLR, and plays a role in regulation of transcriptional initiation through H3K4 demethylation. The family also includes Drosophila melanogaster protein little imaginal discs (Lid) that functions as a JmjC-dependent trimethyl histone H3K4 (H3K4me3) demethylase, which is required for dMyc-induced cell growth. It positively regulates Hox gene expression in S2 cells. Members in this family contain the catalytic JmjC domain, JmjN, the BRIGHT domain, which is an AT-rich interacting domain (ARID), and a Cys5HisCys2 zinc finger, as well as two or three plant homeodomain (PHD) fingers. This model corresponds to the second PHD finger.
