UniProt functional annotation for O60678

UniProt code: O60678.

Organism: Homo sapiens (Human).
Taxonomy: Eukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi; Mammalia; Eutheria; Euarchontoglires; Primates; Haplorrhini; Catarrhini; Hominidae; Homo.
 
Function: Methylates (mono and asymmetric dimethylation) the guanidino nitrogens of arginyl residues in some proteins.
 
Activity regulation: Inhibited by N-ethylmaleimide and high concentrations of zinc chloride. {ECO:0000250}.
Subunit: Monomer or homodimer (By similarity). Interacts with EPB41L3; this inhibits methylation of target proteins. Interacts with the 40S ribosomal protein RPS2. {ECO:0000250, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15334060, ECO:0000269|PubMed:21059412, ECO:0000269|Ref.16}.
Subcellular location: Cytoplasm.
Domain: The zinc-finger is responsible for substrate specificity. {ECO:0000250}.
Similarity: Belongs to the class I-like SAM-binding methyltransferase superfamily. Protein arginine N-methyltransferase family. {ECO:0000255|PROSITE-ProRule:PRU01015}.
