Background :

MEP50 (also designated WDR77) is an important component of the methylosome, a large (20S) protein arginine methyltransferase complex that contains PRMT5. The methylosome functions to modify specific arginines to dimethylarginines in the arginine- and glycine-rich domains of several spliceosomal Sm proteins. This modification targets these proteins to the survival of motor neurons (SMN) complex for assembly into small nuclear ribonucleoprotein (snRNP) core particles. A 50 kDa WD repeat protein MEP50 binds to JBP1 and a subset of Sm proteins and is thought to provide an interface for multiple protein interactions between methylosome proteins. The ability of MEP50 to interact with multiple proteins suggests it is important for targeting the Sm as well as other yet unknown proteins to the methylosome for symmetrical dimethylation. MEP50 specifically interacts with CTD phosphatase FCP1 (CTDP1), a protein that may link the processes of transcriptional elongation and splicing, and with Suz12, a polycomb group protein involved in transcriptional repression.
