Name | WDR4 |
---|---|
Function | Non-catalytic component of the METTL1-WDR4 methyltransferase complex required for the formation of N(7)-methylguanine in a subset of RNA species, such as tRNAs, mRNAs and microRNAs (miRNAs) (PubMed:12403464, PubMed:31031084, PubMed:31031083, PubMed:36599982, PubMed:36599985, PubMed:37369656). In the METTL1-WDR4 methyltransferase complex, WDR4 acts as a scaffold for tRNA-binding (PubMed:36599982, PubMed:36599985, PubMed:37369656). Required for the formation of N(7)- methylguanine at position 46 (m7G46) in a large subset of tRNAs that contain the 5'-RAGGU-3' motif within the variable loop (PubMed:12403464, PubMed:34352207, PubMed:34352206, PubMed:36599982, PubMed:36599985, PubMed:37369656). M7G46 interacts with C13-G22 in the D-loop to stabilize tRNA tertiary structure and protect tRNAs from decay (PubMed:36599982, PubMed:36599985). Also required for the formation of N(7)-methylguanine at internal sites in a subset of mRNAs (PubMed:31031084, PubMed:37379838). Also required for methylation of a specific subset of miRNAs, such as let-7 (PubMed:31031083). Independently of METTL1, also plays a role in genome stability: localizes at the DNA replication site and regulates endonucleolytic activities of FEN1 (PubMed:26751069). |

Background
This gene encodes a member of the WD repeat proteinfamily. WD repeats are minimally conserved regions of approximately40 amino acids typically bracketed by gly-his and trp-asp (GH-WD),which may facilitate formation of heterotrimeric or multiproteincomplexes. Members of this family are involved in a variety ofcellular processes, including cell cycle progression, signaltransduction, apoptosis, and gene regulation. This gene is excludedas a candidate for a form of nonsyndromic deafness (DFNB10), but isstill a candidate for other disorders mapped to 21q22.3 as well asfor the development of Down syndrome phenotypes. Two transcriptvariants encoding the same protein have been found for this gene.
