PRMT5 also known as Protein Arginine Methyltransferase 5 is an enzyme with molecular weight approximately 72 kDa. This protein catalyzes symmetric dimethylation of arginine residues on target proteins affecting gene expression and signal transduction. PRMT5 is expressed in various tissues with significant presence in the brain pancreas and lung. It enhances methyltransferase activity by interacting with other proteins and substrates.
Biological function summary
PRMT5 influences numerous cellular processes including RNA processing signal transduction and DNA repair. It functions as part of a protein complex often involving MEP50/WDR77 which modulates its methylating activity on histones and other proteins. This interaction dictates the cellular roles that are central to maintaining normal cellular function and regulation.
Pathways
PRMT5 operates within the Wnt/β-catenin signaling and mTOR pathways among others. As it modulates the methylation of transcription factors and regulators it contributes to transcriptional repression or activation which is important for cellular proliferation and differentiation. PRMT5 interacts with proteins such as Smad7 and cyclin D1 influencing these signaling pathways.
PRMT5 shows significant associations with cancer and neurological disorders. Elevated levels of PRMT5 correlate with the progression of various cancers including lung and breast cancers making it a potential target for therapeutic intervention. Additionally PRMT5's interaction with oncogenic proteins like MYC and MDM4 highlights its role in tumorigenesis. Furthermore PRMT5 dysregulation is linked to neurodegenerative diseases impacting the protein's target specificity and exacerbating disease symptoms.
