Abstract:PIMT (PIPMT, NCoA6IP), first isolated as a transcription coactivator PRIP (NCoA6)‐interacting protein, binds RNA and possesses RNA methyltransferase activity. PIMT is evolutionarily conserved and is localized predominantly to the nucleus. It is expressed in most adult tissues and in all embryonic stages in the mouse. PIMT interacts with key coactivators such as PRIP, CBP, p300 and MED1. Since the disruption of these PIMT‐interacting coactivator genes causes embryonic lethality in the mouse, we reasoned that PI… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
