A protein complex that can methylate lysine-4 of histone H3, and which contains either of the protein subunits MLL3 or MLL4 in mammals, or equivalent in other species. [GOC:sart, PMID:21875999]
The MLL3/4 complex is a large multi-protein complex that plays a crucial role in regulating gene expression. This complex is found in the nucleus and is associated with chromatin, the complex of DNA and proteins that make up chromosomes. The MLL3/4 complex contains a variety of subunits, each with a distinct function. These subunits work together to ensure that genes are transcribed at the appropriate time and in the appropriate amount.
The MLL3/4 complex contains several core components, including:
- **MLL3 or MLL4:** These are the catalytic subunits of the complex and have histone H3 lysine 4 (H3K4) methyltransferase activity. They are responsible for adding methyl groups to histone H3, which is a key modification that activates gene expression.
- **RBBP5:** This subunit is a scaffold protein that binds to both MLL3/4 and other subunits of the complex. It helps to assemble the complex and maintain its stability.
- **ASH2L:** This subunit is a histone-binding protein that helps to target the complex to specific regions of chromatin. It also interacts with other subunits of the complex to regulate its activity.
- **WDR5:** This subunit is a WD40 repeat protein that binds to methylated H3K4 and helps to recruit the complex to active genes.
The MLL3/4 complex also interacts with a number of other proteins, including:
- **CHD4:** This protein is a chromatin remodeling factor that helps to reposition nucleosomes, the basic units of chromatin. This allows the MLL3/4 complex to access DNA and modify histone tails.
- **Dpy-30:** This protein is a histone chaperone that helps to assemble nucleosomes. It ensures that histones are properly incorporated into chromatin, which is essential for proper gene regulation.
- **Menin:** This protein is a tumor suppressor that interacts with the MLL3/4 complex and regulates its activity. It is also involved in the regulation of cell growth and development.
The MLL3/4 complex is highly dynamic and its composition can vary depending on the cell type and the specific gene being regulated. The complex is essential for normal development and is often dysregulated in cancer. Mutations in MLL3 and MLL4 genes have been linked to various human diseases, including leukemia and developmental disorders.'
