Identification of Small-Molecule Enhancers of Arginine Methylation Catalyzed by Coactivator-Associated Arginine Methyltransferase 1
摘要:
Arginine methylation, is a common post-translational modification that is crucial in modulating gene expression at multiple critical. levels. The arginine methyltransferases (PRMTs) are envisaged as promising druggable targets,: but their role in physiological and pathological pathways is far from being clear due to the limited number of modulators reported to date. In this effort; enzyme activators can be invaluable tools, useful as gain-of-function reagents to interrogate the biological roles. in cells and in vivo of PRMTs. Yet the identification such molecule's is rarely pursued. Herein we describe a series of aryl ureido acetamido indole carboxylates (dubbed "uracandolates"), able to increase the Methylation of histone (H3) or nonhistone (polyadenylate-bihding protein 1, PABP1) substrates induced by coactivator-associated arginine methyltransferase 1 (CARM1), bath in in vitro and cellular settings. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of compounds acting as CARM1 activators.
