4 Example of histone cross-talk on histone H3. PRMT6 and the ASH2/WDR5/MLL complex are capable of methylation of H3R2 and H3K4, respectively (a). PRMT6 cannot methylate R2 in the presence of H3K4 trimethylation (b). Asymmetric dimethylation of R2 prevents interaction of WDR5 with the H3 tail and subsequent methylation by the MLL complex (c). Trimethylation of H3K4 is a hallmark of active promoters, while asymmetric dimethylation of H3R2 is typically associated with inactive promoters. disruption of binding of the WDR5-WD40 repeats with H3K4 when H3R2 was dimethylated, a previously observed interaction [46].
