Abstract excerpt
The role of protein arginine methylation in the DNA damage checkpoint response and DNA repair is largely unknown. Herein we show that the MRE11 checkpoint protein is arginine methylated by PRMT1. Mutation of the arginines within MRE11 severely impaired the exonuclease activity of MRE11 but did not influence its ability to form complexes with RAD50 and NBS1. Cells containing hypomethylated MRE11 displayed...
