Supplementary information

The WDR4 protein also known as WD repeat domain 4 functions in the modification of ribonucleic acids. It specifically takes part in the methylation process of N(7)-methylguanine-tRNA (m7G46) where it serves as an important component of the tRNA methyltransferase complex. With an approximate mass of 51 kDa WDR4 shows expression in various tissues throughout the human body contributing to fundamental cellular processes.

Biological function summary

WDR4 plays a role in the maintenance of accurate protein synthesis. It contributes to the stabilization and correct folding of tRNA molecules which are essential for the translation of genetic information from mRNA to proteins. As part of the tRNA methyltransferase complex WDR4 interacts with the METTL1 enzyme highlighting its involvement in precise tRNA modification processes critical for cellular function and proliferation.

Pathways

The function of WDR4 integrates into the broader landscape of the RNA modification pathway. This pathway is tied to the regulation of gene expression and cellular homeostasis. WDR4's activity impacts the efficiency and fidelity of the translation pathway. In this context WDR4 works closely with METTL1 enhancing the stability and functional capacity of tRNA during protein synthesis which is pivotal for the correct transmission of genetic code within cells.

WDR4's malfunction or altered expression associates with several conditions including microcephalic primordial dwarfism where its disruption affects brain development and growth. The protein interacts with METTL1 implicated in the same disorder demonstrating the importance of their coordinated function. Additionally alterations in WDR4 expression might link to certain types of cancers where aberrant tRNA methylation affects tumor growth and progression indicating the potential for WDR4 as a therapeutic target.

Target data

Non-catalytic component of the METTL1-WDR4 methyltransferase complex required for the formation of N(7)-methylguanine in a subset of RNA species, such as tRNAs, mRNAs and microRNAs (miRNAs) (PubMed : 12403464, PubMed : 31031083, PubMed : 31031084, PubMed : 36599982, PubMed : 36599985, PubMed : 37369656). In the METTL1-WDR4 methyltransferase complex, WDR4 acts as a scaffold for tRNA-binding (PubMed : 36599982, PubMed : 36599985, PubMed : 37369656). Required for the formation of N(7)-methylguanine at position 46 (m7G46) in a large subset of tRNAs that contain the 5'-RAGGU-3' motif within the variable loop (PubMed : 12403464, PubMed : 34352206, PubMed : 34352207, PubMed : 36599982, PubMed : 36599985, PubMed : 37369656). M7G46 interacts with C13-G22 in the D-loop to stabilize tRNA tertiary structure and protect tRNAs from decay (PubMed : 36599982, PubMed : 36599985). Also required for the formation of N(7)-methylguanine at internal sites in a subset of mRNAs (PubMed : 31031084, PubMed : 37379838). Also required for methylation of a specific subset of miRNAs, such as let-7 (PubMed : 31031083). Independently of METTL1, also plays a role in genome stability : localizes at the DNA replication site and regulates endonucleolytic activities of FEN1 (PubMed : 26751069).
