Abstract excerpt
The role of protein arginine methylation in regulating transcription and RNA processing is well established, but its function in DNA replication remains poorly understood. In this study, we identify asymmetric dimethylarginine (aDMA) modification of the RECQ4 helicase as a key mechanism linking arginine methylation to replication control. Five arginine residues located within a glycine/arginine-rich region...
