PRMT1 methylates KCNQ2. 6 / 6
| 5 1

reach
"To test whether Prmt1 methylates KCNQ2 in vivo, HEK293T cells expressing HA-KCNQ2 were transfected with control or Prmt1 shRNA, followed by immunoprecipitation with anti-KCNQ2 antibodies and immunoblotting with antibodies to asymmetric dimethylarginine (ADMA) and KCNQ2."

reach
"These results strongly advocate that Prmt1 interacts with and methylates KCNQ2."

sparser
"Findings from Kim et al. suggest that arginine methylation of the potassium voltage-gated channel subfamily Q member 2 (KCNQ2) by PRMT1 could positively regulate KCNQ activity by enhancing its binding to PIP2 to prevent neuronal hyperexcitability and seizures [ xref ]."

reach
"Prmt1 interacts with and methylates KCNQ2."

reach
"To determine whether Prmt1 methylates KCNQ2, we performed in vitro methylation assays using various bacterially purified GST-Prmts (Prmt1-6) or myc tagged Prmt5 purified from HEK293T cells and GST-KCNQ2 (amino acids 320-449) that contain all of four arginine residues identified by mass spectrometry."

reach
"GST-KCNQ2 was methylated by Prmt1, but not by other Prmts (XREF_FIG and XREF_FIG)."
