We have identified a protein, FLJ12673 or FBXO11, that contains domains characteristically present in protein arginine methyltransferases (PRMTs). Immuno-purified protein expressed from one of the four splice variants in HeLa cells and in Escherichia coli exhibited methyltransferase activity. Monomethylarginine, symmetric, and asymmetric dimethylarginine (SDMA, ADMA) were formed on arginine residues. Accordingly, we have designated the protein PRMT9. PRMT9 is the third member of the PRMT family that forms SDMA modifications in proteins. Structurally, this protein is distinct from all other known PRMTs implying that convergent evolution allowed this protein to develop the ability to methylate arginine residues and evolved elements conserved in PRMTs to accomplish this.

D005810 Multigene Family A set of genes descended by duplication and variation from some ancestral gene. Such genes may be clustered together on the same chromosome or dispersed on different chromosomes. Examples of multigene families include those that encode the hemoglobins, immunoglobulins, histocompatibility antigens, actins, tubulins, keratins, collagens, heat shock proteins, salivary glue proteins, chorion proteins, cuticle proteins, yolk proteins, and phaseolins, as well as histones, ribosomal RNA, and transfer RNA genes. The latter three are examples of reiterated genes, where hundreds of identical genes are present in a tandem array.
