[[http://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/PHF8_HUMAN PHF8_HUMAN]] Defects in PHF8 are the cause of mental retardation syndromic X-linked Siderius type (MRXSSD) [MIM:[http://omim.org/entry/300263 300263]]. A disorder characterized by mild to borderline mental retardation with or without cleft lip/cleft palate.<ref>PMID:20548336</ref><ref>PMID:20346720</ref><ref>PMID:20421419</ref><ref>PMID:20208542</ref><ref>PMID:20622853</ref><ref>PMID:20622854</ref><ref>PMID:20101266</ref><ref>PMID:16199551</ref><ref>PMID:17661819</ref> | |||

[[http://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/PHF8_HUMAN PHF8_HUMAN]] Histone lysine demethylase with selectivity for the di- and monomethyl states that plays a key role cell cycle progression, rDNA transcription and brain development. Demethylates mono- and dimethylated histone H3 'Lys-9' residue (H3K9Me1 and H3K9Me2), dimethylated H3 'Lys-27' (H3K27Me2) and monomethylated histone H4 'Lys-20' residue (H4K20Me1). Acts as a transcription activator as H3K9Me1, H3K9Me2, H3K27Me2 and H4K20Me1 are epigenetic repressive marks. Involved in cell cycle progression by being required to control G1-S transition. Acts as a coactivator of rDNA transcription, by activating polymerase I (pol I) mediated transcription of rRNA genes. Required for brain development, probably by regulating expression of neuron-specific genes. Only has activity toward H4K20Me1 when nucleosome is used as a substrate and when not histone octamer is used as substrate. May also have weak activity toward dimethylated H3 'Lys-36' (H3K36Me2), however, the relevance of this result remains unsure in vivo. Specifically binds trimethylated 'Lys-4' of histone H3 (H3K4me3), affecting histone demethylase specificity: has weak activity toward H3K9Me2 in absence of H3K4me3, while it has high activity toward H3K9me2 when binding H3K4me3.<ref>PMID:20531378</ref><ref>PMID:20548336</ref><ref>PMID:19843542</ref><ref>PMID:20346720</ref><ref>PMID:20421419</ref><ref>PMID:20208542</ref><ref>PMID:20622853</ref><ref>PMID:20622854</ref><ref>PMID:20101266</ref><ref>PMID:20023638</ref> | |||
