Histone H3 Lys4 (H3K4) is methylated by yeast Set1-COMPASS and its mammalian homolog, the MLL complex. Human JARID1d can demethylate trimethyl-H3K4 (H3K4me3). We identified Drosophila melanogaster little imaginal discs (Lid) as the JARID1d homolog. We report that Lid knockdown using RNA interference results in a specific genome-wide increase in H3K4me3 levels without affecting other patterns of H3 methylation, and results in an altered distribution of the chromo-helicase protein Chd1.
组蛋白H3赖氨酸4（H3K4）由酵母Set1-COMPASS及其哺乳动物同源物MLL复合物进行甲基化修饰。人类JARID1d能够使三甲基化的H3K4（H3K4me3）发生去甲基化。我们鉴定出果蝇的小成虫盘（Lid）是JARID1d的同源物。我们报告称，使用RNA干扰技术敲低Lid会导致全基因组范围内H3K4me3水平特异性升高，而不影响其他H3甲基化模式，并且会导致染色体解旋酶蛋白Chd1的分布发生改变。
