Increasing evidence supports that PRMTs exhibit the capacity to form higher-order oligomeric structures, but the structural basis of PRMT oligomerization and its functional consequence are elusive. Herein, we revealed for the first time different oligomeric structural forms of the predominant arginine methyltransferase PRMT1 using cryo-EM, which included tetramer (dimer of dimers), hexamer (trimer of dimers), octamer (tetramer of dimers), decamer (pentamer of dimers), and also helical filaments. Through a host of biochemical assays, we showed that PRMT1 methyltransferase activity was substantially enhanced as a result of the high-ordered oligomerization. High-ordered oligomerization increased the catalytic turnover and the multimethylation processivity of PRMT1. Presence of a catalytically dead PRMT1 mutant also enhanced the activity of WT PRMT1, pointing out a noncatalytic role of oligomerization. Structural modeling demonstrates that oligomerization enhances substrate retention at the PRMT1 surface through electrostatic force. Our studies offered key insights into PRMT1 oligomerization and established that oligomerization constitutes a novel molecular mechanism that positively regulates the enzymatic activity of PRMTs in biology.

EMDB accession codes are about to change! (news from PDBe EMDB page)
The allocation of 4 digits for EMDB accession codes will soon come to an end. Whilst these codes will remain in use, new EMDB accession codes will include an additional digit and will expand incrementally as the available range of codes is exhausted. The current 4-digit format prefixed with “EMD-” (i.e. EMD-XXXX) will advance to a 5-digit format (i.e. EMD-XXXXX), and so on. It is currently estimated that the 4-digit codes will be depleted around Spring 2019, at which point the 5-digit format will come into force.
The EM Navigator/Yorodumi systems omit the EMD- prefix.

Yorodumi is a browser for structure data from EMDB, PDB, SASBDB, etc.
This page is also the successor to EM Navigator detail page, and also detail information page/front-end page for Omokage search.
The word "yorodu" (or yorozu) is an old Japanese word meaning "ten thousand". "mi" (miru) is to see.
