PRMT1 regulates cocaine actions in brain

PRMT1 regulates cocaine actions in brain Recent evidence suggests that histone modifications play a role in the behavioral effects of cocaine in rodent models. Histone arginine is known to be methylated by protein arginine N-methyltransferases (PRMTs). Evidence shows that PRMT1 contributes to >90% of cellular PRMT activity, which regulates histone H4 arginine 3 asymmetric dimethylation … Read more

Histone methylation modifiers in cellular signaling pathways

Histone methylation modifiers in cellular signaling pathways Histone methyltransferases and demethylases epigenetically regulate gene expression by modifying histone methylation status in numerous cellular processes, including cell differentiation and proliferation. These modifiers also control methylation levels… Read More

QM/MM MD and Free Energy Simulation Study of Methyl Transfer Processes Catalyzed by PKMTs and PRMTs.

QM/MM MD and Free Energy Simulation Study of Methyl Transfer Processes Catalyzed by PKMTs and PRMTs. Methyl transfer processes catalyzed by protein lysine methyltransferases (PKMTs) and protein arginine methyltransferases (PRMTs) control important biological events including transcriptional regulation and cell signaling.

Methylated CREB binding protein is nuclear – Sept 2015

Methylated CREB binding protein is nuclear Proper embryonic development requires a fine-tuned control of gene expression, which is achieved in part through the activity of transcription coactivators or corepressors. The nuclear coactivator cAMP-response element-binding protein (CREB) binding protein (CREBBP or CBP) interacts with numerous transcription factors and thereby plays a Read More on NCBI Site
