Structure of the arginine methyltransferase PRMT5-MEP50 reveals a mechanism for substrate specificity.

Structure of the arginine methyltransferase PRMT5-MEP50 reveals a mechanism for substrate specificity.

The arginine methyltransferase PRMT5-MEP50 is required for embryogenesis and is misregulated in many cancers. PRMT5 targets a wide variety of substrates, including histone proteins involved in specifying an epigenetic code. However, the mechanism by which PRMT5 utilizes MEP50 to discriminate substra...
