Genome-wide identification, classification and expression analysis of the JmjC domain-containing histone demethylase gene family in Jatropha curcas L.

ABSTRACT: JmjC domain-containing proteins, an important family of histone lysine demethylase, play significant roles in maintaining the homeostasis of histone methylation. In this study, we comprehensively analyzed the JmjC domain-containing gene family in Jatropha curcas and found 20 JmjC domain-containing genes (JcJMJ genes). Phylogenetic analysis revealed that these JcJMJ genes can be classified into five major subgroups, and genes in each subgroup had similar motif and domain composition. Cis-regulatory element analysis showed that the number and types of cis-regulatory elements owned by the promoter of JcJMJ genes in different subgroup were significantly different. Moreover, miRNA target prediction result revealed a complicated miRNA-mediated post-transcriptional regulatory network, in which Jc
