PRMT1-dependent Arginine methylation regulates replication stress response through DNA-protein kinase

ABSTRACT: PRMT1 is the major Arginine methyltransferase in mammalian cells and its over-expression in human cancer has been linked to poor response to cancer therapy. Here, combining mass spectrometry-based global methyl-proteomics with genome-wide mRNA expression profiling, we identify PRMT1 and its associated Arginine methylation as a regulatory hubs controlling cancer cell response to replicative stress agents. We show that DNA-PK binds to PRMT1 and regulates both its subcellular localization and activity, leading to PRMT1 recruitment to drug-stalled replication forks and channelling its methyl-transferase activity from its soluble targets towards Arginine 3 of histone H4. This DNA-PK-PRMT1 axis is required for the induction of the Senescence-Associated Secretory Phenotype, which sustains cell cycle arrest and protects cells from apoptosis. Our data show that Arginine-methylation regulates the adaptive response of cancer cell to replicative stress agents and might be targeted to sensitize cancer cells to genotoxic chemotherapeutics

Project description:Protein methylation has been implicated in many important biological contexts including signaling, metabolism, and transcriptional control. Despite the importance of this post- translational modification, the global analysis of protein methylation by mass spectrometry-based proteomics has not been extensively studied due to the lack of robust, well-characterized techniques for methyl-peptidemethyl peptide enrichment. Here, to better investigate protein methylation, we optimized and compared two methods for methyl-peptidemethyl peptide enrichment: immunoaffinity purification (IAP) and high pH strong cation exchange (SCX). Comparison of these methods revealed that they are largely orthogonal for monomethyl arginine (MMA), suggesting that the usage of both techniques is required to provide a global view of protein methylation. Using both IAP and SCX, we investigated changes in protein methylation downstream of protein arginine methyltransferase 1 (PRMT1). Together, these techniques allowed us to quantify over ~1,000 arginine methylation sites on 407 proteins. Of these methylation sites, PRMT1 knockdown resulted in significant changes to 110 arginine methylation sites on 59 proteins. In contrast, zero lysine methylation sites were significantly changed upon PRMT1 knockdown. In PRMT1 knockdown cells, 24 MMA sites exhibited both significant downregulation (ie, putative PRMT1-mediated MMA targets) and 63 significant upregulation (ie, putative PRMT1-mediated ADMA targets). PRMT1 knockdown induced significant changes in asymmetric dimethyl arginine (ADMA), consistent with being PRMT1 targets. Additionally, We also observed that PRMT1 knockdown induced significant increases in symmetric dimethyl arginine (SDMA) methylation, suggesting that loss of PRMT1 activity allows scavenging of PRMT1 substrates by Type II PRMTs. Analysis of the subcellular localization and protein function of the significantly changing methyl-proteins revealed that the majority of PRMT1 substrates are localized to the nucleus and involved in RNA and DNA binding. Taken together, our results suggest that deep protein methylation profiling by mass spectrometry requires orthogonal enrichment techniques, identify novel PRMT1 methylation targets, and highlight in order to understand the dynamic interplay between methyltransferases in mammalian cells.
