Crystal structure of the trithorax group protein Ash2L reveals a Forkhead-like DNA binding domain

Human ASH2L is a trithorax group (TrxG) protein and a regulatory subunit of the SET1 family of lysine methyltransferases. Here we report that Ash2L binds DNA employing a Forkhead-like helix-wing-helix (HWH) domain. In vivo, Ash2L HWH domain is required for binding to the β-globin locus control regio...

description Human ASH2L is a trithorax group (TrxG) protein and a regulatory subunit of the SET1 family of lysine methyltransferases. Here we report that Ash2L binds DNA employing a Forkhead-like helix-wing-helix (HWH) domain. In vivo, Ash2L HWH domain is required for binding to the β-globin locus control region (LCR), histone H3 Lys4 tri-methylation and maximal expression of the β-globin gene, validating the functional importance of Ash2L DNA binding activity.
