PHD finger protein 8 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the PHF8 gene.[5]

Function

PHF8 belongs to the family of ferrous iron and alpha-ketoglutarate-dependent hydroxylases superfamily.,[6] and is active as a histone lysine demethylase with selectivity for the di-and monomethyl states.[7]

Clinical significance

Mutations in PHF8 cause Siderius type X-linked mental retardation (XLMR) (OMIM 300263).[8][9][10] In addition to moderate intellectual disability, features of the Siderius-Hamel syndrome include facial dysmorphism, cleft lip and/or cleft palate, and in some cases microcephaly.[11][12][13] A chromosomal microdeletion on Xp11.22 encompassing all of the PHF8 and FAM120C genes and a part of the WNK3 gene was reported in two brothers with autism spectrum disorder in addition to Siderius-type XLMR and cleft lip and palate.[14]

This catalytic activity is disrupted by clinically known mutations to PHF8, which were found to cluster in its catalytic JmjC domain. The F279S mutation of PHF8, found in 2 Finnish brothers with mild intellectual disability, facial dysmorphism and cleft lip/palate,[13] was found to additionally prevent nuclear localisation of PHF8 overexpressed in human cells.[7]

The catalytic activity of PHF8 depends on molecular oxygen,[7] a fact considered important with respect to reports on increased incidence of cleft lip/palate in mice that have been exposed to hypoxia during pregnancy.[15] In humans, fetal cleft lip and other congenital abnormalities have also been linked to maternal hypoxia, as caused by e.g. maternal smoking,[16] maternal alcohol abuse or maternal hypertension treatment.[17]
