The Novel Human Protein Arginine N-Methyltransferase PRMT6 Is a Nuclear Enzyme Displaying Unique Substrate Specificity *

TLDR
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.

Hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF-1)alpha: its protein stability and biological functions.

TL;DR: HIF-1 acts as a master regulator of numerous hypoxia-inducible genes under hypoxic conditions and can be a prime target for anticancer therapies.
Journal ArticleDOI

Protein arginine methyltransferases and cancer.

TL;DR: There are nine protein arginine methyltransferases (PRMTs) encoded in mammalian genomes, the protein products of which catalyse three types of ARG modifications: monomethylation and two types of dimethylation as discussed by the authors.

Human SWI/SNF-Associated PRMT5 Methylates Histone H3 Arginine 8 and Negatively Regulates Expression of ST7 and NM23 Tumor Suppressor Genes

TL;DR: It is reported that PRMT5 can be found in association with endogenous hSWI/SNF complexes, which can methylate H3 and H4 N-terminal tails, and it is shown that H3 arginine 8 and H2Arginine 3 are preferred sites of methylation by recombinant and h SWI/ SNF-associatedPRMT5.
