WD repeats are ca. 40 amino acid long usually bordered by Gly-His and Trp-Asp (WD). 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). WDR5 forms a beta propeller structure. Disease Mutant WDR is involved in triple-A syndrome. Structural highlights The histone Arg2 residue inserts into the central pore of the WDR5 β-propellor structure acting like an anchoring pin forming numerous hydrogen bonds and cation-π interactions.
