Summary
JADE2 (jade family PHD finger 2, HGNC:22984) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 5q31.1, encoding E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase Jade-2 (Q9NQC1). Scaffold subunit of some HBO1 complexes, which have a histone H4 acetyltransferase activity.
Enables histone H4K12 acetyltransferase activity; histone H4K5 acetyltransferase activity; and histone H4K8 acetyltransferase activity. Contributes to histone H3K14 acetyltransferase activity. Involved in regulation of DNA biosynthetic process; regulation of DNA replication; and regulation of cell cycle. Located in nucleoplasm. Part of histone acetyltransferase complex.

Functional genomics
gnomAD constraint: pLI 1, LOEUF 0.25, missense Z 3.19 — population loss-of-function intolerance (pLI ≥ 0.9 = LoF-intolerant; lower LOEUF = more constrained). gnomAD
Regional missense constraint (gnomAD)
ENST00000681547 splits into 9 regions with different missense tolerance; 1 is missense-constrained (≈2% of the expected missense variation). Missense variants in a constrained region (low observed/expected) are more likely to be pathogenic. gnomAD

UniProt curated annotations — full annotation on UniProt →
Function. Scaffold subunit of some HBO1 complexes, which have a histone H4 acetyltransferase activity. Acts as an E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase mediating the ubiquitination and subsequent proteasomal degradation of target protein histone demethylase KDM1A. Also acts as a ubiquitin ligase E3 toward itself. Positive regulator of neurogenesis.
Subunit / interactions. Component of the HBO1 complex composed at least of ING4 or ING5, MYST2/HBO1, MEAF6, and one of JADE1, JADE2 and JADE3. Interacts (via C-terminus) with KDM1A (via AOD/Tower domain).
Domain organisation. The first PHD domain is essential for its E3 ubiquitin ligase activity.
Pathway. Protein modification; protein ubiquitination.
Similarity. Belongs to the JADE family.
