Summary: Contributes to histone H3K4 methyltransferase activity. Involved in regulation of meiotic DNA double-strand break formation; subtelomeric heterochromatin formation; and telomere maintenance. Part of Set1C/COMPASS complex. Orthologous to several human genes including WDR5 (WD repeat domain 5). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jan 2025]

What's a GeneRIF?

Distinct requirements for the COMPASS core subunits Set1, Swd1, and Swd3 during meiosis in the budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae.
Title: Distinct requirements for the COMPASS core subunits Set1, Swd1, and Swd3 during meiosis in the budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae.
The affinity of the subunit Spp1 for modified histone H3 substrates is much higher than that of Swd1 and Swd3.
Title: Characterising the binding specificities of the subunits associated with the KMT2/Set1 histone lysine methyltransferase.
