ENZYME entry: EC 2.1.1.319

Accepted Name
type I protein arginine methyltransferase
Reaction catalysed
L-arginyl-[protein] + 2 S-adenosyl-L-methionine <=> 2 H(+) + N(omega),N(omega)-dimethyl-L-arginyl-[protein] + 2 S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine
Comment(s)
  • This eukaryotic enzyme catalyzes the sequential dimethylation of one of the terminal guanidino nitrogen atoms in arginine residues, resulting in formation of asymmetric dimethylarginine residues.
  • Some forms (e.g. PRMT1) have a very wide substrate specificity, while others (e.g. PRMT4 and PRMT6) are rather specific.
  • The enzyme has a preference for methylating arginine residues that are flanked by one or more glycine residues.
  • PRMT1 is responsible for the bulk (about 85%) of total protein arginine methylation activity in mammalian cells. cf. EC 2.1.1.320, EC 2.1.1.321 and EC 2.1.1.322.
  • Formerly EC 2.1.1.23, EC 2.1.1.124, EC 2.1.1.125 and EC 2.1.1.126.
