Introduction

Full name:Lysine (K)-Specific Demethylase 6A KDM6A/UTX is ubiquitously-transcribed TPR gene on the X chromosome,escape X inactivation in mice and humans,is a demethylase that specifically demethylates tri- and di-methylations of histone H3K27(H3K27me3/2)(1,3),involving in process like development,differentiation,transcriptional regulation,chromatin remodeling(2,4,6,7,8).

Function and Interaction

KDM6A regulates the expression of HOX genes by demethylating H3K27me3/me2 and thereby antagonizing the repression mediated by polycomb proteins(1,2).UTX(ubiquitously-transcribed TPR gene on the X chromosome) gene escapes X inactivation in mice and humans(3).KDM6A associates with the H3K4me3 histone methyltransferase MLL2 supports a model in which the coordinated removal of repressive marks,polycomb group displacement,and deposition of activating marks are important for the stringent regulation of transcription during cellular differentiation(4).KDM6A has been proven essential during normal development, as it is critically required for correct reprogramming, embryonic development and tissue-specific differentiation(5,7,8).KDM6A plays a histone demethylation-independent role in normal and malignant T-cells through interaction with the BRG1-containing SWI/SNF remodeling complex(6).KDM6A can act as a bona fide tumor suppressor gene in cancer biology,somatic loss-of-function mutations and deletions of UTX gene were identified in multiple cancer types(5,9,10).

Disease Association

Somatic loss-of-function mutations and deletions targeting the UTX gene were identified in multiple cancer types including multiple myeloma,esophageal and renal cancer(9).Specific loss-of-function defects in UTX were identified in patients with a specific hereditary disorder named the Kabuki syndrome(10).
