Protein arginine N-methyltransferase 5

UniProtKB accession:  P46580

Grouped By:  Matching UniProtKB accession

UniProtKB description:  Catalyzes the symmetrical dimethylation of arginine residues in targets such as small nuclear ribonucleoproteins, histone H2A/H4 and cbp-1 (PubMed:19521535, PubMed:21531333, PubMed:23866019, PubMed:22143770, PubMed:28158808). Dimethylation occurs in a distributive manner where the protein is released after the addition of the first methyl group prior to rebinding for the addition of the second methyl group (PubMed:23866019). Plays a role in the negative regulation of DNA damage-induced apoptosis (PubMed:19521535). By methylating cbp-1, may prevent apoptosis by repressing the capacity of cbp-1 to enhance cep-1 dependent transcription activation of the programmed cell death activator egl-1 (PubMed:19521535). Plays a role in heat and oxidative stress resistance (PubMed:28158808).
