physiological function | WD repeat domain 77 (WDR77), also known as p44 forms a stoichiometric complex with PRMT5. The PRMT5/p44 complex is required for cellular proliferation of lung and prostate epithelial cells during earlier stages of development and is re-activated during prostate and lung tumorigenesis. PRMT5 and p44 regulate expression of a specific set of genes encoding growth and anti-growth factors, including receptor tyrosine kinases and antiproliferative proteins. Genes whose expression is suppressed by PRMT5 and p44 encode anti-growth factors and inhibit cell growth when ectopically expressed. Genes whose expression is enhanced by PRMT5 and p44 encode growth factors and increased cell growth when expressed. Altered expression of target genes is associated with reactivation of PRMT5 and p44 during lung tumorigenesis | Homo sapiens |
