DESCRIPTION:

PRMT3, a type I arginine methyltransferase, catalyzes the transfer of a methyl group from S-adenosyl-L-methionine (SAM) to an omega-nitrogen of the guanidino function of protein L-arginine residues and the transfer of a second methyl group to the same nitrogen, yielding asymmetric dimethylarginine (aDMA). The tumor suppressor DAL-1/4.1B binds PRMT3 and inhibits its activity. DAL-1/4.1B’s capacity to induce apoptosis in the MCF-7 breast cancer cell line is enhanced by elevating cellular levels of the methyltransferase product/inhibitor S-adenosylhomocysteine, suggesting PRMT3 as a potential target for anti-cancer therapeutics.
