JARID2

A gene on chromosome 6p24-p23 that encodes an ortholog of the mouse jumonji gene, which encodes a nuclear protein essential for mouse embryogenesis. JARID2 is a regulator of histone methyltransferase complexes that plays an essential role in embryonic development, including heart and liver development, neural tube fusion and haematopoiesis, modulating histone methyltransferase activity and recruiting histone methyltransferase complexes to their target genes; it downregulates cell proliferation signalling pathways. During embryogenesis, it is primarily expressed in neurons, especially in dorsal root ganglion cells. It interacts with GATA4, NKX2-5, RB1, SUZ12 and ZNF496.

The catalytic activity of EZH2 requires other PRC2 components including embryonic ectoderm development (EED), suppressor of zeste 12 (SUZ12), retinoblastoma-binding protein 4 (RBBP4), adipocyte enhancer binding protein 2 (AEBP2), and JARID2. EZH2 has a conserved feature of histone lysine methyltransferase C-terminal SET-domain whose function is to add a methyl group to lysine side chains of substrate proteins.

The protein called Jarid2 maintains a delicate balancing act - one that both recruits other regulatory proteins to genes important in differentiation and also modulates their activity to keep them in a state of ongoing readiness.

Protein that keeps stem cells poised for action identified

The immunomodulatory and regenerative properties of human DP-MSCs are reflected in the expression of embryonic stem cell markers like SKIL, MEIS1, and JARID2. These markers, as well as cell proliferation markers, were shown not to be influenced by the total number of in vitro passages.
