SUMO modification of a heterochromatin histone demethylase JMJD2A enables viral gene transactivation and viral replication. by Wan-Shan Yang, Mel Campbell, Pei-Ching Chang

“…Here we show that JMJD2A, the first identified Jumonji C domain-containing histone demethylase, is the histone demethylase responsible for SUMO-2/3 enrichment on the KSHV genome during viral reactivation. Using in vitro and in vivo SUMOylation assays, we found that JMJD2A is SUMOylated on lysine 471 by KSHV K-bZIP, a viral SUMO-2/3-specific E3 ligase, in a SUMO-interacting motif (SIM)-dependent manner. …”
