Promiscuous RNA binding by WDR5 remodels the KMT2A (MLL1) histone methyltransferase complex to an inactive state
Chromatin-modifying complexes are critical in gene regulation, yet their proposed interactions with RNA remain poorly understood. Here, we show that WDR5, an essential subunit of the MLL1 (KMT2A) histone methyltransferase complex, binds RNA with high affinity but without sequence specificity. Using a stringent approach...
