WDR5 IN COMPLEX WITH AN RBBP5 PEPTIDE RECRUITED TO NOVEL SITE
Template:ABSTRACT PUBMED 20716525
Function
[RBBP5_MOUSE] As part of the MLL1/MLL complex, involved in mono-, di- and trimethylation at 'Lys-4' of histone H3. Histone H3 'Lys-4' methylation represents a specific tag for epigenetic transcriptional activation. In embryonic stem (ES) cells, plays a crucial role in the differentiation potential, particularly along the neural lineage, regulating gene induction and H3 'Lys-4' methylation at key developmental loci, including that mediated by retinoic acid. Does not affect ES cell self-renewal.
