Description |
In many diverse species including bacteria, fungi, plants, and animals, contains jumanji protein family. Although the biochemical activities of JmjN proteins are yet to be shown, but they are usually associated with chromatin remodeler. In Arabidopsis mutantion in jmj group of proteins leads to Flowering Time defects in Arabidopsis.
