Activity summary

The WDR9/BRWD1 protein is also known by its alternate name BRWD1 and has a molecular mass of approximately 250 kDa. This protein shows expression in various tissues with higher levels observed in testis and certain brain regions. WDR9/BRWD1 is a member of the WD-repeat protein family and contains two bromodomains. Mechanically it plays a role in mediating protein-protein interactions aiding in chromatin organization and gene regulation.

Biological function summary

WDR9/BRWD1 functions in regulating transcriptional processes and is often part of nuclear chromatin complexes. It participates in gene expression important for spermatogenesis and neuronal differentiation. This protein interacts with other chromatin-modifying proteins contributing to the alteration of chromatin states and affecting cellular programs.

Pathways

Different regulatory and developmental processes involve WDR9/BRWD1. The protein plays roles within chromatin remodeling pathways. It engages with pathways such as histone modification and transcriptional regulation working alongside proteins like histones and other transcription factors which helps coordinate the accessibility of transcriptional machinery to DNA.

Associated diseases and disorders

Abnormal WDR9/BRWD1 expression or mutations have connections to neurological and reproductive conditions. Studies link its dysregulation to intellectual disabilities and fertility issues. Its association with chromatin-modifying proteins implicates it in diseases where gene expression regulation plays a role such as certain cognitive disorders.
