Abstract:Protein arginine methylation is a common post-translational modification (PTM) catalyzed by nine protein arginine methyltransferases (PRMTs). As the major symmetric arginine methyltransferase that methylates both histone and non-histone substrates, PRMT5 plays key roles in a number of biological processes critical for development and tumorigenesis. PRMT5 overexpression has been reported in multiple cancer types including prostate cancer (PCa), but the exact biological and mechanistic understanding of PRMT5 in … 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.
