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. As part of the NSL complex it may be involved in acetylation of nucleosomal histone H4 on several lysine residues. May regulate osteoblasts differentiation.<ref>PMID:19556245</ref> <ref>PMID:19103755</ref> <ref>PMID:20018852</ref> <ref>PMID:16600877</ref> <ref>PMID:16829960</ref> | ||

| + | Histone H3 arginine 2 (H3R2) is post-translationally modified in three different states by "writers" of the protein arginine methyltransferase (PRMT) family. H3R2 methylarginine isoforms include PRMT5-catalyzed monomethylation (me1) and symmetric dimethylation (me2s), and PRMT6-catalyzed me1 and asymmetric dimethylation (me2a). WD-40 repeat-containing protein 5 (WDR5) is an epigenetic "reader" protein that interacts with H3R2. Previous studies suggested that H3R2me2s specified a high-affinity interaction with WDR5. However, our prior biological data prompted the hypothesis that WDR5 may also interact with H3R2me1. Here, using highly accurate quantitative binding analysis combined with high-resolution crystal structures of WDR5 in complex with unmodified (me0) and me1/me2s L-Arginine amino acids and in complex with H3R2me1 peptide, we provide a rigorous biochemical study and address long-standing discrepancies of this important biological interaction. Despite modest structural differences at the binding interface, our study supports an interaction model regulated by a binary arginine methylation switch: H3R2me2a prevents interaction with WDR5, whereas H3R2me0/me1/me2s are equally permissive. | ||
