Journal ArticleDOI

Human PAD4 regulates histone arginine methylation levels via demethylimination.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that human peptidylarginine deiminase 4 (PAD4) regulates histone Arg methylation by converting methyl-Arg to citrulline and releasing methylamine, and that PAD4 activity is linked with the transcriptional regulation of estrogen-responsive genes in MCF-7 cells.
Journal ArticleDOI

WDR5 Associates with Histone H3 Methylated at K4 and Is Essential for H3 K4 Methylation and Vertebrate Development

TL;DR: The results are the first demonstration that a WD40-repeat protein acts as a module for recognition of a specific histone modification and suggest a mechanism for reading and writing an epigenetic mark for gene activation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Regulation of MLL1 H3K4 methyltransferase activity by its core components

TL;DR: This study reports the first biochemical reconstitution of a functional four-component mixed-lineage leukemia protein-1 (MLL1) core complex and demonstrates that WDR5 mediates interactions of the MLL1 catalytic unit both with the common structural platform and with the histone substrate.
Journal ArticleDOI

Physical Association and Coordinate Function of the H3 K4 Methyltransferase MLL1 and the H4 K16 Acetyltransferase MOF

TL;DR: An activator-based mechanism for joint MLL1 and MOF recruitment and targetedmethylation and acetylation is indicated and a molecular explanation for the closely correlated distribution of H3 K4 methylation and H4 K16 acetylations on active genes is provided.
