| Research Abstract |
Jmjd1a (also known as Jhdm2a and KDM3a) catalyzes removal of H3K9 mono- and dimethylation. We established JMJD1a deficient mice (JMJD1A -/-) and discovered that the mice develop adult onset obesity, hypertriglyceridemia, hypercholesterolemia, and insulin insensitivity, that are hallmarks of metabolic syndrome. To investigate the molecular mechanism of Jmjd1a working machinery, we sought to elucidate Jmjd1a target genes and working complex using techniques of chromatin immonoprecipitation and mass spectrometry. We raised monoclonal antibodies against mouse and human Jmjd1a protein prepared by baculovirus expression system. ChIP sequence using Jmjd1a antibody as well as methylated histone antibodies showed a specific binding region which codes a retrotransposon. Whole cell extracted protein from HeLa cells was immunoprecipitated using the established Jmjd1a antibodies and the precipitated protein complex was analyzed using shotgun mass spectrometry. Interestingly, a series of splicing factors and sin3a complex forming proteins appeared in the list of shotgun proteomics. It is also elucidated that there is a functional phosphorylated site in Jmjd1a. Our result indicates that Jmjd1a regulates gene transcription through changing the chromatin formation.
