PHD finger superfamily; The PHD finger superfamily includes a canonical plant homeodomain (PHD) finger typically characterized as Cys4HisCys3, and a non-canonical extended PHD finger, characterized as Cys2HisCys5HisCys2His. Variations include the RAG2 PHD finger characterized by Cys3His2Cys2His and the PHD finger 5 found in nuclear receptor-binding SET domain-containing proteins characterized by Cys4HisCys2His. The PHD finger is also termed LAP (leukemia-associated protein) motif or TTC (trithorax consensus) domain. Single or multiple copies of PHD fingers have been found in a variety of eukaryotic proteins involved in the control of gene transcription and chromatin dynamics. PHD fingers can recognize the unmodified and modified histone H3 tail, and some have been found to interact with non-histone proteins. They also function as epigenome readers controlling gene expression through molecular recruitment of multi-protein complexes of chromatin regulators and transcription factors. The PHD finger domain SF is structurally similar to the RING and FYVE_like superfamilies.

PHD finger 1 found in D4, zinc and double PHD fingers family 3 (DPF3); DPF3, also termed BRG1-associated factor 45C (BAF45C), or zinc finger protein cer-d4, is encoded by a neuro-specific gene, cer-d4. It functions as a new epigenetic key factor for heart and muscle development and may be involved in the transcription regulation of neuro-specific gene clusters. It interacts with the BAF chromatin remodeling complex and binds methylated and acetylated lysine residues of histone 3 and 4. DPF3 contains a nuclear localization signal in the N-terminal region, a Cys2His2 (C2H2) zinc finger or Kruppel-type zinc-finger and a sequence of negatively charged amino acids in the central region, and a cysteine/histidine-rich region that is composed of two adjacent plant homeodomain (PHD) fingers (d4-domain) in the C-terminal part of the molecule. This model corresponds to the first PHD finger.

PHD finger 1 found in D4, zinc and double PHD fingers family 2 (DPF2); DPF2 (also termed zinc finger protein ubi-d4, apoptosis response zinc finger protein, BRG1-associated factor 45D (BAF45D), or protein requiem) is a transcription factor that is encoded by the ubiquitously expressed gene, ubi-d4, and may be involved in leukemia or other cancers with other genes connected with cancer. It recognizes acetylated histone H3 and suppresses the function of estrogen-related receptor alpha (ERRalpha) through histone deacetylase 1 (HDAC1). Moreover, DPF2 functions as a linker protein between the SWI/SNF complex and RelB/p52 NF-kappaB heterodimer and plays important roles in NF-kappaB transactivation via its non-canonical pathway. It is also required as a transcriptional coactivator in SWI/SNF complex-dependent activation of NF-kappaB RelA/p50 heterodimer. DPF2 contains a nuclear localization signal in the N-terminal region, a Cys2His2 (C2H2) zinc finger or Kruppel-type zinc-finger and a sequence of negatively charged amino acids in the central region, and a cysteine/histidine-rich region that is composed of two adjacent plant homeodomain (PHD) fingers (d4-domain) in the C-terminal part of the molecule. This subfamily also includes DPF3 from zebrafish. This model describes the first PHD finger.

It may be involved in the transcription regulation of neuro specific gene clusters. DPF1 contains a nuclear localization signal in the N-terminal region, a Cys2His2 (C2H2) zinc finger or Kruppel-type zinc-finger and a sequence of negatively charged amino acids in the central, and a cysteine/histidine-rich region that is composed of two adjacent plant homeodomain (PHD)-fingers (d4-domain) in the C-terminal part of the molecule.

PHD finger 1 found in monocytic leukemia zinc-finger protein (MOZ) and its factor (MORF); MOZ (also termed histone acetyltransferase KAT6A, YBF2/SAS3, SAS2 and TIP60protein 3 (MYST-3), runt-related transcription factor-binding protein 2, or zinc finger protein 220) is a MYST-type histone acetyltransferase (HAT) that functions as a coactivator for acute myeloid leukemia 1 protein (AML1)- and p53-dependent transcription. It possesses intrinsic HAT activity to acetylate both itself and lysine (K) residues on histone H2B, histone H3 (K14) and histone H4 (K5, K8, K12 and K16) in vitro and H3K9 in vivo. MOZ-related factor (MORF), also termed MOZ2, or histone acetyltransferase KAT6B, or MOZ, YBF2/SAS3, SAS2 and TIP60 protein 4 (MYST4), is a ubiquitously expressed transcriptional regulator with intrinsic HAT activity. It can interact with the Runt-domain transcription factor Runx2 and form a tetrameric complex with BRPFs, ING5, and EAF6. Both MOZ and MORF are catalytic subunits of HAT complexes that are required for normal developmental programs, such as hematopoiesis, neurogenesis, and skeletogenesis, and are also implicated in human leukemias. MOZ is also the catalytic subunit of a tetrameric inhibitor of growth 5 (ING5) complex, which specifically acetylates nucleosomal histone H3K14. Moreover, MOZ and MORF are involved in regulating transcriptional activation mediated by Runx2 (or Cbfa1), a Runt-domain transcription factor known to play important roles in T cell lymphomagenesis and bone development, and its homologs. MOZ contains a linker histone 1 and histone 5 domains and two plant homeodomain (PHD) fingers. In contrast, MORF contains an N-terminal region containing two PHD fingers, a putative HAT domain, an acidic region, and a C-terminal Ser/Met-rich domain. The model corresponds to the first PHD finger.
