Abstract
Background: Protein arginine methyltransferase 7 (PRMT7) is associated with various functions and diseases, but its substrate specificity is poorly defined. Results: Insect cell-expressed PRMT7 forms ω-monomethylarginine residues at basic RXR sequences in peptides and histone H2B. Conclusion: PRMT7 is a type III PRMT with a unique substrate specificity. Significance: Novel post-translational modification sites generated by PRMT7 may regulate biological function.
