MLL4 (KMT2B) : WDR5 Binding Chemiluminescent Assay Kit

The Mixed Lineage Leukemia-4 (MLL4, also known as KMT2B) protein belongs to the SET1/MLL family which consists of six (MLL1-4/KMT2A-2D, SET1A/KMT2F, and SET1B/KMT2G) major methyltransferases in mammals. MLL4 is a histone-H3 lysine-4 (H3K4) methyltransferase that promotes H3K4 mono-/di-/tri-methylation, a conserved trait of euchromatin associated with transcriptional activation. MLL4 is a critical player in memory formation. MLL4 forms a complex with RbBP5 (retinoblastoma-binding protein 5), ASH2L (Absent, small, homeotic disks-2-like), WDR5 (WD40 repeat-containing protein 5), and DPY30 (DumPY protein 30) to catalyze methylation of H3K4. WDR5 represents a therapeutically exploitable target for cancer treatment as it plays a crucial role in MLL1 complex assembly and disassembly. WDR5 has two protein interaction sites: the WDR5-interacting (WIN) binding site and the WDR5-binding-motif (WBM) site. MLL1-4 forms the complex via WIN binding site, while RbBP5 is bound to WBM site, which is also the site for MYC oncoproteins interaction. The addition of inhibitors that competitively bind to WIN or WBM sites has been shown to disrupt MLL activity as well as to displace MYC from chromatin and therefore disabling its tumorigenic function.

Study complex formation and screen compounds that block the binding of MLL4 to WDR5 for drug discovery and high throughput screening (HTS) applications.
