PRMT1-mediated EZH2 methylation promotes breast cancer cell proliferation and tumorigenesis

Abstract Protein arginine methyltransferase 1 (PRMT1) is able to promote breast cancer cell proliferation. However, the detailed mechanisms of PRMT1-mediated breast cancer cell proliferation are largely unknown. In this study, we reveal that PRMT1-mediated methylation of EZH2 at the R342 site (meR34...
