General annotation (Comments)

Function

Methylates (mono- and asymmetric dimethylation) the guanidino nitrogens of arginyl residues in several proteins involved in DNA packaging, transcription regulation, and mRNA stability. Recruited to promoters upon gene activation together with histone acetyltransferases from EP300/P300 and p160 families, methylates histone H3 at 'Arg-17' and activates transcription via chromatin remodeling. During nuclear hormone receptor activation and TCF7L2/TCF4 activation, acts synergically with EP300/P300 and either one of the p160 histone acetyltransferases NCOA1/SRC1, NCOA2/GRIP1 and NCOA3/ACTR or CTNNB1/beta-catenin to activate transcription. During myogenic transcriptional activation, acts together with NCOA3/ACTR as a coactivator for MEF2C. During monocyte inflammatory stimulation, acts together with EP300/P300 as a coactivator for NF-kappa-B. Also seems to be involved in p53/TP53 transcriptional activation. Methylates EP300/P300, both at 'Arg-2142', which may loosen its interaction with NCOA2/GRIP1, and at 'Arg-580' and 'Arg-604' in the KIX domain, which impairs its interaction with CREB and inhibits CREB-dependent transcriptional activation. Also methylates arginine residues in RNA-binding proteins PABPC1, ELAVL1 and ELAV4, which may affect their mRNA-stabilizing properties and the half-life of their target mRNAs. Ref.1 Ref.6 Ref.10 Ref.11 Ref.14 Ref.15 Ref.16 Ref.18 Ref.19

Catalytic activity

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

Subunit structure

Homodimer Probable. Interacts with NR1H4. Interacts with SNRPC By similarity. Interacts with the C-terminus of NCOA2/GRIP1, NCO3/ACTR and NCOA1/SRC1. Part of a complex consisting of CARM1, EP300/P300 and NCOA2/GRIP1. Interacts with FLII, TP53, myogenic factor MEF2, EP300/P300, CREBBP and CTNNB1. Interacts with RELA.

Subcellular location

Nucleus. Cytoplasm. Ref.10

Tissue specificity

Ubiquitously expressed. Within the brain, present in proliferating cells from lateral ventricular zone and dentate gyrus (at protein level). Ref.1 Ref.20

Developmental stage

At E9, expression is prominent in the neural tube and somites. Ref.10

Miscellaneous

Methylation of H3-R17 by CARM1 is stimulated by preacetylation of H3-K18/H3-K23 by EP300 and blocked by citrullination of H3-R17 by PADI4.

Sequence similarities

Belongs to the protein arginine N-methyltransferase family.
