RNA binding proteins often contain multiple arginine glycine
repeats, a sequence that is frequently methylated by protein arginine
methyltransferases. The role of this posttranslational modification in
the life cycle of RNA binding proteins is not well understood. Herein,
we report that Sam68, a heteronuclear ribonucleoprotein K
homology domain containing RNA binding protein, associates with and is
methylated in vivo by the protein arginine N-methyltransferase 1 (PRMT1). Sam68 contains
asymmetrical dimethylarginines near its proline motif P3 as assessed by
using a novel asymmetrical dimethylarginine-specific antibody and mass
spectrometry. Deletion of the methylation sites and the use of
methylase inhibitors resulted in Sam68 accumulation in the cytoplasm.
Sam68 was also detected in the cytoplasm of PRMT1-deficient embryonic
stem cells. Although the cellular function of Sam68 is unknown, it has
been shown to export unspliced human immunodeficiency virus RNAs. Cells
treated with methylase inhibitors prevented the ability of Sam68 to
export unspliced human immunodeficiency virus RNAs. Other K homology domain RNA binding proteins, including SLM-1, SLM-2, QKI-5, GRP33, and
heteronuclear ribonucleoprotein K were also methylated in vivo. These
findings demonstrate that RNA binding proteins are in vivo substrates
for PRMT1, and their methylation is essential for their proper
localization and function.
