Abstract excerpt
Schizosaccharomyces pombe Rmt3 is a member of the protein-arginine methyltransferase (PRMT) family and is the homolog of human PRMT3. We previously characterized Rmt3 as a ribosomal protein methyltransferase based on the identification of the 40 S Rps2 (ribosomal protein S2) as a substrate of Rmt3. RMT3-null cells produce nonmethylated Rps2 and show mis-regulation of the 40 S/60 S ribosomal subunit ratio due to a...
