General annotation (Comments)

Function

Contributes to histone modification. May position the N-terminus of histone H3 for efficient trimethylation at 'Lys-4'. As part of the MLL1/MLL complex it is involved in methylation and dimethylation at 'Lys-4' of histone H3. H3 'Lys-4' methylation represents a specific tag for epigenetic transcriptional activation. May regulate osteoblasts differentiation. Ref.15 Ref.16 Ref.20 Ref.21

Subunit structure

Interacts with HCFC1. Component of the ATAC complex, a complex with histone acetyltransferase activity on histones H3 and H4. Component of the SET1 complex, at least composed of the catalytic subunit (SETD1A or SETD1B), WDR5, WDR82, RBBP5, ASH2L/ASH2, CXXC1/CFP1, HCFC1 and DPY30. Core component of several methyltransferase-containing complexes including MLL1/MLL, ASCOM, MLL2/MLL3 and MLL3/MLL4. Each complex is at least composed of ASH2L, RBBP5, DPY30, WDR5, one or more specific histone methyltransferases (MLL, MLL2, MLL3 and MLL4), and the facultative components C16orf53/PA1, C17orf49, CHD8, E2F6, HCFC1, HCFC2, HSP70, IN80C, KDM6A, KIAA1267, LAS1L, MAX, MCRS1, MEN1, MGA, MYST1/MOF, NCOA6, PAXIP1/PTIP, PELP1, PHF20, PRP31, RING2, RUVB1/TIP49A, RUVB2/TIP49B, SENP3, TAF1, TAF4, TAF6, TAF7, TAF9 and TEX10. Interacts with MLL and RBBP5; the interaction is direct. Component ofthe ADA2A-containing complex (ATAC), composed of CSRP2BP, KAT2A, TADA2L, TADA3L, ZZ3, MBIP, WDR5, YEATS2, CCDC101 and DR1. In the complex, it probably interacts directly with KAT2A, MBIP and CSRP2BP. Interacts with histone H3. Interacts with SETD1A. Ref.4 Ref.5 Ref.12 Ref.15 Ref.19 Ref.20 Ref.21 Ref.22 Ref.24

Subcellular location

Nucleus Ref.9.

Sequence similarities

Belongs to the WD repeat WDR5/wds family.

Contains 7 WD repeats.

Sequence caution

The sequence CAB66159.1 differs from that shown. Reason: Erroneous initiation. Translation N-terminally shortened.
