    text
  • only a fraction of PRMT1 is located in the nucleus, but the protein is predominantly cytoplasmic
  • colocalize in nuclear speckles, a sub-nuclear compartment enriched in small nuclear ribonucleoproteins and splicing factors
  • basic FUNCTION
  • arginine methyltransferase transferring a methyl group from S adenosylmethionine to the guanidino group nitrogen atoms of specific proteins
  • methylation of histone H4 involved in transcriptional regulation
  • plays a role in nuclear receptor-mediated chromatin remodeling and RNA transactions
  • catalyzing arginine methylation for the post-translational protein modification
  • cooperating with CARM1 in gene regulation
  • represses a subset of IFNgamma-inducible STAT1 target genes in a methyltransferase-dependent manner
  • methylating RUNX1 and serving as a transcriptional coactivator for RUNX1
  • may control telomere length and stability through TERF2 methylation
  • dysregulation of PRMT1 and PRMT6 can be involved in human carcinogenesis
  • PRMT1 and PRMT5 methylate Arg-296 within ASH2L
  • responsible for most cellular arginine methylation activity and can work independently or in collaboration with other PRMTs
  • involved in arginine methylation, which participates in the nuclear-cytoplasmic shuttling of FUS, particularly of ALS6-associated mutants, and thus contributes to the toxic gain of function conferred by these disease-causing mutations
  • possible role of the PRMT1-FAM98A pathway in cancer progression
  • CELLULAR PROCESS nucleotide, transcription, regulation

    INTERACTION
    DNA
    RNA
    small molecule
  • S adenosylmethionine dependent
  • protein
  • binding to hnRNP (heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoproteins)
  • methylating FMRP
  • interact with CNOT7 and colocalize in nuclear speckles, a sub-nuclear compartment enriched in small nuclear ribonucleoproteins and splicing factors
  • crucial negative regulator of STAT1 activation that controls PIAS1-mediated repression by arginine methylation
  • methylating HNRNPK and so regulating its functions
  • TAF15 interactor and the major PRMT responsible for its methylation
  • directly interacts with and methylates the 378th arginine residue of Axin
  • transcriptional corepressor of IFN-induced STAT1 target genes that cooperates with PIAS1
  • PRMT1 serves as the major methyltransferase in cells by forming higher-order oligomers with itself, PRMT2, and possibly other PRMTs
  • PRMT1 interacts with RUNX1-RUNX1T1 to promote its transcriptional activation and progenitor cell proliferative potential
  • GSK3A, and PRMT1 cooperate to orchestrate a series of posttranslational modifications on the Intermediate filament (IF) -anchoring protein desmoplakin (DSP) that play an essential role in coordinating cytoskeletal dynamics and cellular adhesion
  • ATXN2L associates with the protein arginine-N-methyltransferase 1 (PRMT1)
  • PRMT1 is a direct interaction partner of UBAP2L
  • PRMT1 is overexpressed in human melanoma, and may regulate tumor growth and metastasis via targeting ALCAM
  • potent stress granules (SG)-nucleating protein G3BP1 is methylated by protein arginine methyltransferase 1 and 5 (PRMT1 and PRMT5)
  • TRIM48 facilitates oxidative stress-induced MAP3K5 activation and cell death through ubiquitination-dependent degradation of PRMT1
  • interaction between CBX7 and PRMT1, and this interaction is crucial for PRMT1 enzymatic activity both and for the regulation of CDH1 expression, an important hallmark of epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT)
