Evolutionary History and Functional Diversification of the <i>JmjC</i> Domain-Containing Histone Demethylase Gene Family in Plants

Histone demethylases containing JumonjiC (<i>JmjC</i>) domains regulate gene transcription and chromatin structure by changing the methylation status of lysine residues and play an important role in plant growth and development. In this study, a total of 332 <i>JmjC</i> famil...

description Histone demethylases containing JumonjiC (<i>JmjC</i>) domains regulate gene transcription and chromatin structure by changing the methylation status of lysine residues and play an important role in plant growth and development. In this study, a total of 332 <i>JmjC</i> family genes were identified from 21 different plant species. The evolutionary analysis results showed that the <i>JmjC</i> gene was detected in each species, that is, the gene has already appeared in algae. The phylogenetic analysis showed that the KDM3/JHDM2 subfamily genes may have appeared when plants transitioned from water to land, but were lost in lycophytes (<i>Selaginella moellendorffii</i>). During the evolutionary process, some subfamily genes may have been lost in individual species. According to the analysis of the conserved domains, all of the plant <i>JmjC</i> genes contained a typical JmjC domain, which was highly conserved during plant evolution. The analysis of <i>cis</i>-acting elements showed that the promoter region of the <i>JmjC</i> gene was rich in phytohormones and biotic and abiotic stress-related elements. The transcriptome data analysis and protein interaction analyses showed that <i>JmjC</i> genes play an important role in plant growth and development. The results clarified the evolutionary history of <i>JmjC</i> family genes in plants and lay the foundation for the analysis of the biological functions of <i>JmjC</i> family genes.
