Background

Tudor domains are protein modules that mediate protein-protein interactions, potentially by binding to methylated ligands. There are 9 Tudor domain containing proteins (TDRD1-TDRD9) each forming hetero-complexes for epigenetic regulations in gene expression. Tudor domains are found in many eukaryotic organisms and have been implicated in protein-protein interactions in which methylated protein substrates bind to these domains. For example, the Tudor domain of Survival of Motor Neuron (SMN) binds to symmetrically dimethylated arginines of arginine-glycine (RG) rich sequences found in the C-terminal tails of Sm proteins. The SMN protein is linked to spinal muscular atrophy. Another example is the tandem tudor domains of 53BP1, which bind to histone H4 specifically dimethylated at Lys20 (H4-K20me2). Cell signaling pathways rely heavily on modular proteins containing protein-protein interaction domains to sense, transmit and process signals that regulate cellular functions. Arginine methylation modulates diverse cellular processes and represents a molecular signature of germ-line-specific Piwi family proteins. A subset of Tudor domains recognize arginine methylation modifications. Three types of arginine methylation-namely, monomethylation, asymmetrical dimethylation, and symmetrical dimethylation-are catalyzed by type I or type II protein arginine methyltransferases (PRMTs). Among these, PRMT5 is considered the major PRMT that induces symmetrical dimethylation of arginine residues on target proteins (1). The Tudor domain-containing proteins poss es RNA binding capacity which suggest they pay a role in RNA metabolism. The first well characterized Tudor-KH containing protein was studied in Fragile X mental retardation protein (FMRP), the Tudor KH domain containing proteins acts as specific scaffolding proteins involved in methylation signal and RNA processing (2). The Tdrd gene family constitutes an essential class of spermatogenesis genes with each member having a distinct function at different differentiation stages. TDRD1 gene is expressed in different splice variants by use of alternate initiation sites. The TDRD1 proteins regulate the piwi-interacting RNA (piRNA) pathways to establish retrotransposon silencing in fetal prospermatogonia (3).
