IUBMB Comments
This eukaryotic enzyme catalyses 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, type II protein arginine methyltransferase, EC 2.1.1.321, type III protein arginine methyltransferase, and EC 2.1.1.322, type IV protein arginine methyltransferase.
