RNA and protein interactions modulated by protein arginine methylation
JD Gary, S Clarke - Progress in nucleic acid research and molecular …, 1998 - Elsevier
This review summarizes the current status of protein arginine N-methylation reactions.
These covalent modifications of proteins are now recognized in a number of eukaryotic
proteins and their functional significance is beginning to be understood. Genes that encode
those methyltransferases specific for catalyzing the formation of asymmetric
dimethylarginine have been identified. The enzyme modifies a number of generally nuclear
or nucleolar proteins that interact with nucleic acids, particularly RNA. Postulated roles for …
