Figure 2: JARID1A-PHD3, an essential motif for NJL-mediated leukaemia, specifically recognizes H3K4me3/2 marks. a, Capability of JARID1A-PHD3, PHF23-PHD and JARID1A-PHD1 (the first PHD finger of JARID1A; Supplementary Fig. 1) to interact with H3 peptides containing different states of Lys methylation, in a peptide pull-down assay. JARID1A-PHD1 interacted with H3K4me0 as BHC80-PHD^11. aa, amino acids. b, The crystal structure of JARID1A-PHD3 (cyan) complexed with H3K4me3 peptide (yellow), and a close-up view of the H3K4me3-binding channel (inset) formed by two orthogonally aligned Trp residues. The numeration of JARID1A-PHD3 and H3 residues is shown in red and black, respectively. Protein Data Bank accession number, 3GL6. c, Capability of wild-type (WT) or mutant JARID1A-PHD3 to bind to H3K4me3/2. d, Co-immunoprecipitation showing that NJL containing the wild-type, but not mutant (W1625A) PHD finger, associated with H3K4me3 or H3 in transiently transfected 293 cells.
