Function

Arginine methyltransferase that methylates the guanidino nitrogens of arginyl residues in proteins such as STAT3, FBL, histone H4. Acts as a coactivator (with NCOA2) of the androgen receptor (AR)-mediated transactivation. Acts as a coactivator (with estrogen) of estrogen receptor (ER)-mediated transactivation. Enhances PGR, PPARG, RARA-mediated transactivation. May inhibit NF-kappa-B transcription and promote apoptosis. Represses E2F1 transcriptional activity (in a RB1-dependent manner). May be involved in growth regulation.

Activity summary

Protein Arginine Methyltransferase 2 (PRMT2) also known as HMT1 is a member of the protein arginine methyltransferase family. This enzyme carries out the transfer of methyl groups to arginine residues on target proteins influencing gene expression. PRMT2 has a molecular mass of about 59 kDa. It is detected widely in human tissues most notably in the liver heart and brain. This distribution indicates its involvement in a broad range of cellular activities.

Biological function summary

PRMT2 regulates various processes through its methylation activity. It functions as a coactivator particularly in the nuclear hormone receptor pathway. This protein is part of complexes that modify chromatin affecting gene transcription regulation. Through methylation of histones and other proteins PRMT2 influences cellular differentiation and proliferation. By modifying these key components PRMT2 controls important physiological functions within cells.

Pathways

PRMT2 interacts closely with nuclear hormone receptor signaling and pathways associated with gene regulation. These connections make it particularly important in the estrogen receptor signaling pathway where PRMT2 acts in conjunction with other proteins like PRMT1. Additionally PRMT2 has roles in influencing the PI3K/AKT pathway an important signaling pathway related to cell survival and metabolism.

Associated diseases and disorders

PRMT2 exhibits relevant associations with conditions like cancer and neurological disorders. In cancer altered PRMT2 expression can misregulate gene expression through disrupted methylation promoting tumorigenic processes. Its dysregulation also connects to inflammation and degenerative diseases in the nervous system often involving proteins like PRMT1 as collaborators in pathology development. Understanding these links with diseases can guide therapeutic approaches involving PRMT2 modulation.
