Protein arginine methyltransferase 5 (PRMT5) catalyzes arginine methylation and regulates cellular functions such as proliferation, RNA splicing, and nuclear DNA damage response. This study uncovers that a fraction of nuclear-encoded PRMT5 localizes to the mitochondria, which is critical for maintaining mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) homeostasis. PRMT5 knockout (PRMT5<sup>-/-</sup>) cells had reduced nucleoid counts, diminished mtDNA copy numbers, disrupted the balance of the mitochondrial fission-fu ...[more]
