context-dependent regulator of AP-1 target genes, acting predominantly as a transcriptional repressor but also as a co-activator depending on its dimerization partners and chromatin environment. JDP2 represses transcription by recruiting HDAC3 to target promoters (c-jun, BZLF1, Fshb, CHOP) to deacetylate histones and by directly inhibiting p300-mediated histone acetylation through its N-terminal INHAT domain, while also possessing histone chaperone activity that facilitates nucleosome assembly [PMID:12052888, PMID:16518400, PMID:21525011]. JDP2 stability is controlled by JNK-mediated phosphorylation at Thr148, which targets it for proteasomal degradation, and by IRF2-BP1-mediated polyubiquitination [PMID:21463260, PMID:18671972]. Beyond repression, JDP2 activates transcription in specific complexes—with β-catenin/PRMT5 to drive glutathione-metabolic genes after genotoxic stress, with AhR/Nrf2 at xenobiotic response elements, and with the progesterone receptor—and Jdp2-knockout mice display osteopetrosis, impaired neutrophil bactericidal activity, elevated FSH with premature reproductive senescence, and resistance to replicative senescence [PMID:31434880, PMID:23200825, PMID:28007961, PMID:19233846]."},"prefetch_data":{"uniprot":{"accession":"Q8WYK2","full_name":"Jun dimerization protein 2","aliases":[],"length_aa":163,"mass_kda":18.7,"function":"Component of the AP-1 transcription factor that represses transactivation mediated by the Jun family of proteins.

JDP2 represses transcription by recruiting HDAC3 to target promoters (c-jun, BZLF1, Fshb, CHOP) to deacetylate histones and by directly inhibiting p300-mediated histone acetylation through its N-terminal INHAT domain, while also possessing histone chaperone activity that facilitates nucleosome assembly [PMID:12052888, PMID:16518400, PMID:21525011]. JDP2 stability is controlled by JNK-mediated phosphorylation at Thr148, which targets it for proteasomal degradation, and by IRF2-BP1-mediated polyubiquitination [PMID:21463260, PMID:18671972]. Beyond repression, JDP2 activates transcription in specific complexes—with β-catenin/PRMT5 to drive glutathione-metabolic genes after genotoxic stress, with AhR/Nrf2 at xenobiotic response elements, and with the progesterone receptor—and Jdp2-knockout mice display osteopetrosis, impaired neutrophil bactericidal activity, elevated FSH with premature reproductive senescence, and resistance to
