    Protocol

    Specificity / Sensitivity

    MLL4 (F4A3R) Rabbit Monoclonal Antibody recognizes endogenous levels of total MLL4 protein. This antibody detects a 180 kDa band of unknown identity. Reactivity by immunofluorescence is mouse only.

    Human, Mouse, Monkey

    Source / Purification

    Monoclonal antibody is produced by immunizing animals with a synthetic peptide corresponding to residues surrounding Gly962 of human MLL4 protein.

    Background

    The Set1 histone methyltransferase protein was first identified in yeast as part of the Set1/COMPASS histone methyltransferase complex, which methylates histone H3 at Lys4 and functions as a transcriptional co-activator (1). While yeast contains only one known Set1 protein, mammals contain six Set1-related proteins, SET1A, SET1B, MLL1, MLL2, MLL3, and MLL4, all of which assemble into COMPASS-like complexes and methylate histone H3 at Lys4 (2,3). These Set1-related proteins are each found in distinct protein complexes, all of which share the common subunits WDR5, RBBP5, ASH2L, CXXC1, and DPY30, which are required for proper complex assembly and modulation of histone methyltransferase activity (2-6). MLL1 and MLL2 complexes contain the additional protein subunit, menin (6).

    Mixed-lineage leukemia protein 4 (MLL4), also known as histone-lysine N-methyltransferase 2D (KMT2D), is a large 600 kDa protein that functions as part of the MLL4/COMPASS-like complex to activate gene expression by mediating mono-methylation of histone H3 lysine 4 at gene enhancers (7). Enhancer-specific H3 lysine 4 mono-methylation (H3K4me1) correlates with increased levels of chromatin interactions between gene enhancers and promoters, while loss of this modification results in a reduction of enhancer-promoter interactions (8). Furthermore, H3K4me1 facilitates recruitment of the cohesin complex, which may function to promote the interactions between gene enhancers and promoters (8). MLL4 is found to be mutated or have altered expression in various cancer types (9).
