Journal ArticleDOI
PRMT5 (Janus kinase-binding protein 1) catalyzes the formation of symmetric dimethylarginine residues in proteins.
Tina L. Branscombe,Adam Frankel,Jin Hyung Lee,Jeffry R. Cook,Zhi-Hong Yang,Sidney Pestka,Steven Clarke +6 more
TL;DR: PRMT5 is the first example of a catalytic chain for a type II protein arginine N-methyltransferase that can result in the formation of symmetric dimethylarginine residues as observed previously in myelin basic protein, Sm small nuclear ribonucleoproteins, and other polypeptides.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Novel Human Protein Arginine N-Methyltransferase PRMT6 Is a Nuclear Enzyme Displaying Unique Substrate Specificity *
TL;DR: This novel human PRMT, which resides solely in the nucleus when fused to the green fluorescent protein, joins a family of enzymes with diverse functions within cells and displays automethylation activity; it is the first PRMT to do so.
