Protein arginine methyltransferase-6 (PRMT6) regulates steroid-dependent transcription and alternative splicing, and is implicated in endocrine system development and function, cell death, cell cycle, gene expression and cancer. Despite its role in these processes, little is known about its function...
In this study, we analyzed the Arabidopsis homologue of PRMT5, AtPRMT5M-bM-^@M-^Ys function in RNA processing. RNA-seq analyses revealed that AtPRMT5 is involved in a subset of pre-mRNA splicing. Several RNA processing factors involved in regulating flowering time were validated that the correspondi...
The C-terminal domain (CTD) of the RNA polymerase II (RNAPII) subunit POLR2A is a platform for modifications specifying the recruitment of factors that regulate transcription, mRNA processing, and chromatin remodeling. Here, we show that a CTD arginine residue (R1810 in human) that is conserved acr...
Effects of Prmt7 genetic deletion to arginine monomethylation in Jurkat T-ALL cell line. Analysis was made using two different Prmt7 KO and one control cell lines.
Protein arginine methylation plays essential roles in diverse biological processes, but its role in regulating shoot regeneration remains elusive. In this study, we analyzed the function of the protein arginine methyltransferase AtPRMT5 during de novo shoot regeneration in Arabidopsis. AtPRMT5 encod...
Epigenetic mechanisms oversee epidermal homeostasis and oncogenesis. The identification of kinases controlling these processes has direct therapeutic implications. We show that ULK3 is a nuclear kinase with elevated expression levels in squamous cell carcinomas (SCCs) arising in multiple body sites,...
In germ cells, Piwi proteins interact with a specific class of small non-coding RNAs, piwi-interacting RNAs (piRNAs). Together, these form a pathway that represses transposable elements, thus safeguarding germ cell genomes. While basic models describe the operation of piRNA pathways, neither the pr...
Examined gene expression changes in a histone H2A R78A mutant in Saccharomyces cerevisiae relative to wild-type cells. THe overall goal of this study was to determine the functions of histone 'sprocket' arginine residues, which insert into the DNA minor groove in the nucleosome. We examined the role...
