JmjC domain-containing histone demethylase; targets tri- and dimethylated H3K36; associates with actively transcribed regions and promotes elongation; repressor of autophagy-related genes in nutrient-replete conditions; damage-responsive repressor of PHR1; phosphorylated by the Rad53p-dependent DNA damage checkpoint pathway and by a Rim1p-mediated event during starvation; target of stress-induced hormesis; RPH1 has a paralog, GIS1, that arose from the whole genome duplication
