WD repeats are ca. 40 amino acid long usually bordered by Gly-His and Trp-Asp (WD). All WDRs form a β-propeller structure. WDRs have critical roles in many biological functions like signal transduction, transcription regulation and apoptosis[1]. WD-repeat protein 5 (WDR5) contains 7 WD repeats. WDR5 contributes to histone modification. It may position the N-terminal of histone H3 for efficient methylation at Lys4. This methylation is implicated in the control of activation of cell lineage genes during embryogenesis. WDR5 interacts with histone-lysine N-methyltransferase (MLL)[2]. WD repeat-containing protein 48 and 20 act as regulators of deubiquinating complexes. WD repeat-containing protein 41 is the non-catalytic component of C9orf72-SMCR8 complex which regulates autophagy[3]. WD repeat-containing protein 55 is a modulator of rRNA synthesis. WD repeat-containing protein 61 is a component of PAF1 complex which functions during RNA transcription. WD repeat-containing protein 91 functions as negative regulator of the PI3 kinase/PI3K activity in endosomal transport[4]. WD repeat-containing protein 92 is a modulator of apoptosis. WD repeat-containing protein SLP1 is required for mad2-dependent spindle checkpoint activation. WD repeat protein CSA or DNA excision repair protein ERCC-8 is part of the transcription-coupled repair complex[5]. Disease Mutant WDR is involved in triple-A syndrome[6].
