Human WDR5 (WD Repeat Domain 5), also known as SWD3 or BIG-3, GenBank Accession No. NM_017588, a.a. 2-334(end), with N-terminal His-tag, MW=37.5 kDa, expressed in Sf9 insect cells via a baculovirus expression system.
Background
As part of the MLL1/MLL complex, WDR5 is involved in methylation and dimethylation at Lys4 of histone H3, which is 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. WDR5 may regulate osteoblasts differentiation. WD repeats are minimally conserved regions of approximately 40 amino acids typically bracketed by gly-his and trp-asp (GH-WD), which may facilitate formation of heterotrimeric or multiprotein complexes WDR5 contains 7 WD repeats.
