The key to development: interpreting the histone code?

TL;DR: Evidence is provided that the enzymes responsible for the modifications of histones function in a coordinated pattern to control gene expression in the short term and, through the transferral of these modifications by inheritance to their progeny, in the long term.

Detection technologies in proteome analysis

TL;DR: New multiplexing capabilities should greatly enhance the applicability of the two-dimensional gel electrophoresis technique with respect to addressing fundamental questions related to proteome-wide changes in protein expression and post-translational modification.

PRMT1 Is the Predominant Type I Protein Arginine Methyltransferase in Mammalian Cells

TL;DR: It is concluded that PRMT1 contributes the major type I protein arginine methyltransferase enzyme activity present in mammalian cells and tissues.

PRMT5 (Janus kinase-binding protein 1) catalyzes the formation of symmetric dimethylarginine residues in proteins.

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

Protein arginine methyltransferases: evolution and assessment of their pharmacological and therapeutic potential.

TL;DR: Because of the intricate involvement of several PRMT in cellular physiology, their inhibition may be fraught with unwanted side effects, Nevertheless, development of pharmaceutical agents to control PRMT functions could lead to significant new targets.

RNA and Protein Interactions Modulated by Protein Arginine Methylation

TL;DR: From the analysis of the sequences surrounding known arginine methylation sites, consensus methyl-accepting sequences are determined that may be useful in identifying novel substrates for these enzymes and may shed further light on their physiological role.
Journal ArticleDOI

Widespread occurrence of three sequence motifs in diverse S-adenosylmethionine-dependent methyltransferases suggests a common structure for these enzymes.

TL;DR: Three regions of sequence similarity have been reported in several protein and small-molecule S-adenosylmethionine-dependent methyltransferases and it is suggested that these conserved regions contribute to the binding of the substrate S-ADenosyl methionines and/or the product S- adenosylhomocysteine.

In Vivo and In Vitro Arginine Methylation of RNA-Binding Proteins

TL;DR: This work partially purified and characterized a protein-arginine N-methyltransferase specific for hnRNPs from HeLa cells and demonstrated that most of the pre-mRNA-binding proteins receive this modification.

PRMT 3, a type I protein arginine N-methyltransferase that differs from PRMT1 in its oligomerization, subcellular localization, substrate specificity, and regulation

TL;DR: A recombinant glutathione S-transferase (GST) fusion product of this new rat protein, named PRMT3, asymmetrically dimethylates arginine residues present both in the designed substrate GST-GAR and in substrate proteins present in hypomethylated extracts of a yeast rmt1 mutant that lacks type I N-methyltransferase activity as discussed by the authors.
