Arginine methylation of NIP45 modulates cytokine gene expression in effector T lymphocytes.
Posttranslational modification of proteins within T cell receptor signaling cascades allows T lymphocytes to rapidly initiate an appropriate immune response. Here we report a role for arginine methylation in regulating cytokine gene transcription in the T helper lymphocyte. Inhibition of arginine methylation impaired the expression of several cytokine genes, including the signature type 1 and t...
متن کاملEpigenetic Regulation of Cytokine Gene Expression in T Lymphocytes
The developmental program of T helper and regulatory T cell lineage commitment is governed by both genetic and epigenetic mechanisms. The principal events, signaling pathways and the lineage determining factors involved have been extensively studied in the past ten years. Recent studies have elucidated the important role of chromatin remodeling and epigenetic changes for proper regulation of ge...
متن کاملL-arginine consumption by macrophages modulates the expression of CD3 zeta chain in T lymphocytes.
L-Arginine plays a central role in the normal function of several organs including the immune system. It is metabolized in macrophages by inducible nitric oxide synthase to produce nitric oxide, important in the cytotoxic mechanisms, and by arginase I (ASE I) and arginase II (ASE II) to synthesize L-ornithine and urea, the first being the precursor for the production of polyamines needed for ce...
متن کاملArginine methylation regulates mitochondrial gene expression in Trypanosoma brucei through multiple effector proteins.
Arginine methylation is a post-translational modification that impacts gene expression in both the cytoplasm and nucleus. Here, we demonstrate that arginine methylation also affects mitochondrial gene expression in the protozoan parasite, Trypanosoma brucei. Down-regulation of the major trypanosome type I protein arginine methyltransferase, TbPRMT1, leads to destabilization of specific mitochon...
متن کاملEpigenetic histone methylation modulates fibrotic gene expression.
TGF-β1-induced expression of extracellular matrix (ECM) genes plays a major role in the development of chronic renal diseases such as diabetic nephropathy. Although many key transcription factors are known, mechanisms involving the nuclear chromatin that modulate ECM gene expression remain unclear. Here, we examined the role of epigenetic chromatin marks such as histone H3 lysine methylation (H...
