Abstract
Arginine methylation is a prevalent posttranslational modification which is deposited by a family of protein arginine methyltransferases (PRMTs), and is found in three different forms in mammalian cells: monomethylarginine (MMA), asymmetric dimethylarginine (ADMA) and symmetric dimethylarginine (SDMA). Pan-methylarginine antibodies are critical for identifying proteins that are methylated on arginine residues, and are also used for evaluating signaling pathways that modulate this methyltransferase activity. Although good pan-MMA, -ADMA and -SDMA antibodies have been developed over the years, there is still room for improvement. Here we use a novel antigen approach, which involves the separation of short methylated motifs with inert polyethylene glycol (PEG) linkers, to generate a set of pan antibodies to the full range of methylarginine marks. Using these antibodies, we observed substrate scavenging by PRMT1, when PRMT5 activity is blocked. Specifically, we find that the splicing factor SmD1 displays increased ADMA levels upon PRMT5 inhibitor treatment. Furthermore, when the catalysis of both SDMA and ADMA is blocked with small molecule inhibitors, we demonstrate that SmD1 and SMN no longer interact. This could partially explai...Continue Reading
