General annotation (Comments)

Function

Arginine methyltransferase that can both catalyze the formation of omega-N monomethylarginine (MMA) and symmetrical dimethylarginine (sDMA), with a preference for the formation of MMA. Specifically mediates the symmetrical dimethylation of arginine residues in the small nuclear ribonucleoproteins Sm D1 (SNRPD1) and Sm D3 (SNRPD3); such methylation being required for the assembly and biogenesis of snRNP core particles. Specifically mediates the symmetric dimethylation of histone H4 'Arg-3' to form H4R3me2s. Plays a role in gene imprinting by being recruited by CTCFL at the H19 imprinted control region (ICR) and methylating histone H4 to form H4R3me2s, possibly leading to recruit DNA methyltransferases at these sites. May also play a role in embryonic stem cell (ESC) pluripotency. Also able to mediate the arginine methylation of histone H2A and myelin basic protein (MBP) in vitro; the relevance of such results is however unclear in vivo. Ref.4 Ref.5 Ref.6 Ref.9

Catalytic activity

S-adenosyl-L-methionine + arginine-[histone] = S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine + N(omega)-methyl-arginine-[histone].

S-adenosyl-L-methionine + [myelin basic protein]-arginine = S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine + [myelin basic protein]-N(omega)-methyl-arginine.

Subunit structure

Homodimer and heterodimer By similarity. Interacts with CTCFL By similarity. Interacts with PRMT5 and SNRPD3. Ref.6

Subcellular location

Cytoplasmcytosol. Nucleus Ref.5.

Miscellaneous

May be involved in etoposide-induced cytotoxicity, a chemotherapeutic agent frequently used for testicular cancer and small-cell lung cancer that can cause cytotoxicity in the treatment of other cancers. Down-regulation confers increased sensitivity to the Top1 inhibitor camptothecin (CPT).

Sequence similarities

Belongs to the protein arginine N-methyltransferase family. PRMT7 subfamily.

Sequence caution

The sequence BAB14215.1 differs from that shown. Reason: Erroneous initiation.
