简介 Methylates (mono- and asymmetric dimethylation) the guanidino nitrogens of arginyl residues in several proteins involved in DNA packaging, transcription regulation, pre-mRNA splicing, and mRNA stability (PubMed:12237300, PubMed:16497732, PubMed:19405910). Recruited to promoters upon gene activation together with histone acetyltransferases from EP300/P300 and p160 families, methylates histone H3 at 'Arg-17' (H3R17me), forming mainly asymmetric dimethylarginine (H3R17me2a), leading to activates transcription via chromatin remodeling (PubMed:12237300, PubMed:16497732, PubMed:19405910). During nuclear hormone receptor activation and TCF7L2/TCF4 activation, acts synergically with EP300/P300 and either one of the p160 histone acetyltransferases NCOA1/SRC1, NCOA2/GRIP1 and NCOA3/ACTR or CTNNB1/beta-catenin to activate transcription (By similarity). During myogenic transcriptional activation, acts together with NCOA3/ACTR as a coactivator for MEF2C (By similarity). During monocyte inflammatory stimulation, acts together with EP300/P300 as a coactivator for NF-kappa-B (By similarity). Acts as coactivator for PPARG, promotes adipocyte differentiation and the accumulation of brown fat tissue (By similarity). Plays a role in the regulation of pre-mRNA alternative splicing by methylation of splicing factors (By similarity). Also seems to be involved in p53/TP53 transcriptional activation (By similarity). Methylates EP300/P300, both at 'Arg-2142', which may loosen its interaction with NCOA2/GRIP1, and at 'Arg-580' and 'Arg-604' in the KIX domain, which impairs its interaction with CREB and inhibits CREB-dependent transcriptional activation (PubMed:15731352). Also methylates arginine residues in RNA-binding proteins PABPC1, ELAVL1 and ELAV4, which may affect their mRNA-stabilizing properties and the half-life of their target mRNAs (By similarity). Acts as a transcriptional coactivator of ACACA/acetyl-CoA carboxylase by enriching H3R17 methylation at its promoter, thereby positively regulating fatty acid synthesis (By similarity). Independently of its methyltransferase activity, involved in replication fork progression: promotes PARP1 recruitment to replication forks, leading to poly-ADP-ribosylation of chromatin at replication forks and reduced fork speed (PubMed:33412112). |

Nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) is one of the common malignant tumors in clinic. In the current study, we aim to investigate the effects of PRMT4 on erastin-induced ferroptosis in NPC by cisplatin resistant. PRMT4 expression in patients with NPC by cisplatin was upregulated. PRMT4 upregulation promoted cell growth of erastin-induced ferroptosis in NPC cisplatin-resistant cells. PRMT4 downregulation reduced cell growth of erastin-induced ferroptosis in NPC cisplatin-resistant cells. PRMT4 promoted tumor volume in mice model of erastin-induced NPC by cisplatin. PRMT4 upregulation reduced erastin-induced ferroptosis in NPC cisplatin-resistant cells by mitochondrial damage. PRMT4 upregulation induced Nrf2 protein expression in model of erastin-induced NPC by cisplatin. Nrf2 reduced the effects of si-PRMT4 on cell growth of erastin-induced ferroptosis in NPC cisplatin-resistant cells. Nrf2 inhibitor reduced the effects of PRMT4 on cell growth of erastin-induced ferroptosis in NPC cisplatin-resistant cells. Nrf2 reduced the effects of si-PRMT4 on erastin-induced ferroptosis in NPC cisplatin-resistant cells by mitochondrial damage. PRMT4 protein interlinked with Nrf2 protein to decrease Nrf2 ubiquitination. Methylation increased PRMT4 DNA stability. Collectively, our data reveal that PRMT4 reduced erastin-induced ferroptosis in NPC cisplatin-resistant cells by Nrf2/GPX4 pathway, suggesting that targeting PRMT4 may present as a potential strategy against the development of NPC.
