UniProt functional annotation for P61965

UniProt code: P61965.

Organism: Mus musculus (Mouse).
Taxonomy: Eukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi; Mammalia; Eutheria; Euarchontoglires; Glires; Rodentia; Myomorpha; Muroidea; Muridae; Murinae; Mus; Mus.
 
Function: Contributes to histone modification (By similarity). May position the N-terminus of histone H3 for efficient trimethylation at 'Lys-4' (By similarity). As part of the MLL1/MLL complex it is involved in methylation and dimethylation at 'Lys-4' of histone H3 (By similarity). H3 'Lys-4' methylation represents a specific tag for epigenetic transcriptional activation (By similarity). As part of the NSL complex it may be involved in acetylation of nucleosomal histone H4 on several lysine residues (By similarity). May regulate osteoblasts differentiation (PubMed:11551928). In association with RBBP5 and ASH2L, stimulates the histone methyltransferase activities of KMT2A, KMT2B, KMT2C, KMT2D, SETD1A and SETD1B (By similarity). {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P61964, ECO:0000269|PubMed:11551928}.
 
Subunit: Interacts with PAXBP1; the interaction is direct and links a WDR5-containing histone methyltransferase complex to PAX7 and PAX3 (PubMed:22862948). Interacts with HCFC1 (By similarity). Component of the ATAC complex, a complex with histone acetyltransferase activity on histones H3 and H4 (By similarity). 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 (By similarity). Core component of several methyltransferase-containing complexes including MLL1/MLL, MLL2/3 (also named ASCOM complex) and MLL4/WBP7 (PubMed:21335234). Each complex is at least composed of ASH2L, RBBP5, WDR5, DPY30, one or more specific histone methyltransferases (KMT2A/MLL1, KMT2D/MLL2, KMT2C/MLL3 and KMT2B/MLL4), and the facultative components PAGR1, BAP18, CHD8, E2F6, HCFC1, HCFC2, HSP70, INO80C, KDM6A, KANSL1, LAS1L, MAX, MCRS1, MEN1, MGA, MYST1/MOF, NCOA6, PAXIP1/PTIP, PELP1, PHF20, PRP31, RING2, RUVB1/TIP49A, RUVB2/TIP49B, SENP3, TAF1, TAF4, TAF6, TAF7, TAF9, TEX10 and alpha- and beta-tubulin (PubMed:21335234). Component of the NSL complex at least composed of MOF/KAT8, KANSL1, KANSL2, KANSL3, MCRS1, PHF20, OGT1/OGT, WDR5 and HCFC1 (By similarity). Interacts with KMT2A/MLL1 (via WIN motif) and RBBP5; the interaction is direct (By similarity). Component ofthe ADA2A-containing complex (ATAC), composed of KAT14, KAT2A, TADA2L, TADA3L, ZZ3, MBIP, WDR5, YEATS2, CCDC101 and DR1 (By similarity). In the complex, it probably interacts directly with KAT2A, MBIP and KAT14 (By similarity). Interacts with histone H3 (By similarity). Interacts with SETD1A (via WIN motif) (By similarity). Component of a histone methylation complex composed of at least ZNF335, RBBP5, ASH2L and WDR5; the complex may have histone H3-specific methyltransferase activity, however does not have specificity for 'Lys-4' of histone H3 (By similarity). Interacts with ZNF335 (PubMed:23178126). Components of this complex may associate with components of the ZNF335-CCAR2-EMSY nuclear receptor-mediated transcription complex to form a complex at least composed of ZNF335, HCFC1, CCAR2, EMSY, MKI67, RBBP5, ASH2L and WDR5 (By similarity). Interacts with PER1 (By similarity). Interacts with KMT2D (via WIN motif) (PubMed:21335234). Interacts with KMT2B (via WIN motif), KMT2C (via WIN motif) and SETD1B (via WIN motif) (By similarity). {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P61964, ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q498M4, ECO:0000269|PubMed:21335234, ECO:0000269|PubMed:22862948, ECO:0000269|PubMed:23178126}.
Subcellular location: Nucleus {ECO:0000269|PubMed:15860628}.
Tissue specificity: Expressed in liver (at protein level). Detected in brain, testis and kidney. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:15860628}.
Similarity: Belongs to the WD repeat WDR5/wds family. {ECO:0000305}.
