KDM2B (FBXL10) specifically recognizes non-methylated CpG island DNA via its CxxC domain and recruits Polycomb Repressive Complex 1 (PRC1), contributing to histone H2A lysine 119 ubiquitylation (H2AK119ub1) and gene repression. CGIs are occupied by low levels of KDM2B-PRC1 complex genome-wide, suggesting a sampling mechanism for polycomb-mediated silencing. |

Jhdm1b/KDM2B is a histone H3 lysine 36 (H3K36) demethylase. Knockdown in primary MEFs inhibits cell proliferation and induces cellular senescence in a pRb- and p53-dependent manner. KDM2B targets the p15(Ink4b) locus and regulates its expression in an enzymatic activity-dependent manner; loss of p15(Ink4b) rescues proliferation defects caused by KDM2B knockdown. |

Crystal structure of the KDM2B/SKP1/BCORL1/PCGF1 tetrameric complex was solved. The BCORL1 PUFD domain positions residues preceding the RAWUL domain of PCGF1 to create an extended interface for interaction with KDM2B unique to PRC1.1. This also reveals how KDM2B may simultaneously function in PRC1.1 and SCF ubiquitin ligase complex. |
