Activity summary

PRMT7 short for Protein Arginine Methyltransferase 7 plays an important role in the methylation of arginine residues on target proteins. It acts as a type of enzyme known for catalyzing the transfer of methyl groups. PRMT7 appears in several tissues although its expression is noted in higher amounts in brain and testis tissues. This protein weighs approximately 78 kDa and undergoes different modifications influencing its activity and localization. Researchers sometimes refer to PRMT7 simply as PRMT-7.

Biological function summary

The activity of this protein regulates gene expression by modifying histones and non-histone proteins affecting chromatin structure. It does not typically act as part of a large complex but can associate with other proteins to achieve specific functions. PRMT7 influences processes like protein signaling RNA processing and cell cycle control illustrating its diverse roles in cellular biology.

Pathways

PRMT7 participates intricately in pathways involving transcriptional regulation. It regulates pathways such as the arginine methylation pathway and is connected to transcription factor binding pathways. Its action intertwines with other methyltransferases and specific epigenetic regulators such as PRMT5 highlighting the crosstalk between different protein modification pathways within cells.

Associated diseases and disorders

PRMT7 has a connection to cancer and neurodevelopmental disorders. Altered expression or activity of PRMT7 associates with oncogenesis making it a potential target in cancer research with some studies pointing out possible links to breast cancer. In neurodevelopmental disorders the protein's role in gene expression regulation suggests its involvement. In such conditions interactions with proteins such as FMR1 linked to Fragile X syndrome highlight the importance of understanding PRMT7's function to unravel its therapeutic implications.
