m6A Target Pirin (PIR)
Epigenetic Regulation that have Cross-talk with This m6A Modification:
Epigenetic Regulation Type Histone modification (HistMod)
Epigenetic Regulator WD repeat-containing protein 5 (WDR5) WRITER View Details
Regulated Target Histone H3 lysine 4 trimethylation (H3K4me3) View Details

Crosstalk Relationship m6A  →  Histone modification Enhancement
Crosstalk Mechanism m6A modification indirectly regulates histone modification through downstream signaling pathways
Crosstalk Summary Pirin (PIR) expression is driven by aberrant N6-methyladenosine (m6A) modifications mediated by METTL3 and IGF2BP3. Meanwhile, the high expressed PIR acts as a transcriptional co-regulator by interacting with WDR5, resulting in the regulation of Histone H3 lysine 4 trimethylation (H3K4me3) modifications at the ANAPC10 promoter region and subsequent promotion of ANAPC10 expression.
