| EC |
2.1.1.322 |
| Accepted name: |
type IV protein arginine methyltransferase |
| Reaction: |
S-adenosyl-L-methionine + [protein]-L-arginine = S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine + [protein]-N5-methyl-L-arginine |
| Other name(s): |
RMT2 (gene name) |
| Systematic name: |
S-adenosyl-L-methionine:[protein]-L-arginine N-methyltransferase ([protein]-N5-methyl-L-arginine-forming) |
| Comments: |
This enzyme, characterized from the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, methylates the the δ-nitrogen atom of arginine residues within proteins. Among its substrates are Arg67 of the ribosomal protein L12. cf. EC 2.1.1.319, type I protein arginine methyltransferase, EC 2.1.1.320, type II protein arginine methyltransferase, and EC 2.1.1.321, type III protein arginine methyltransferase. |
