N-6 adenine-specific DNA methyltransferase 1 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the N6AMT1 gene. [5]

Contents

Function

The N6AMT1 gene encodes an N(6)-adenine-specific DNA methyltransferase. The encoded enzyme may be involved in the methylation of release factor I during translation termination. This enzyme is also involved in converting the arsenic metabolite monomethylarsonous acid to the less toxic dimethylarsonic acid. Alternative splicing of this gene results in multiple transcript variants. A related pseudogene has been identified on chromosome 11. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2014]. N6AMT1 functions as a protein glutamine methyltransferase and is essential for mouse development (Liu et al., Mol. Cell. Biol. 2010).

CARM1, also known as PRMT4, is an enzyme encoded by the CARM1 gene found in human beings, as well as many other mammals. It has a polypeptide (L) chain type that is 348 residues long, and is made up of alpha helices and beta sheets. Its main function includes catalyzing the transfer of a methyl group from S-Adenosyl methionine to the side chain nitrogens of arginine residues within proteins to form methylated arginine derivatives and S-Adenosyl-L-homocysteine. CARM1 is a secondary coactivator through its association with p160 family of coactivators. It is responsible for moving cells toward the inner cell mass in developing blastocysts.
