Cryo-EM structure of the human MLL1 core complex bound to the nucleosome

MLL family histone methyltransferases deposit histone H3 Lys4 mono-/di-/tri-methylation and regulate gene expression in mammals. Here the authors report the single-particle cryo-EM structure of the NCP-bound human MLL1 core complex, shedding light on how the MLL1 complex engages chromatin and how ch...

Description
Summary:MLL family histone methyltransferases deposit histone H3 Lys4 mono-/di-/tri-methylation and regulate gene expression in mammals. Here the authors report the single-particle cryo-EM structure of the NCP-bound human MLL1 core complex, shedding light on how the MLL1 complex engages chromatin and how chromatin binding promotes MLL1 tri-methylation activity.
