NSD1 PHD domains bind methylated H3K4 and H3K9 using interactions disrupted by point mutations in human sotos syndrome

Abstract excerpt

Sotos syndrome is a human developmental and cognitive disorder caused by happloinsufficiency of transcription factor NSD1. Similar phenotypes arise from NSD1 gene deletion or from point mutations in 9 of 13 NSD1 domains, including all 6 PHD domains, indicating that each NSD1 domain performs an essential role. To gain insight into the biochemical basis of Sotos syndrome, we tested the ability of each NSD1 PHD...
