AMI-1 inhibits arginine, but not lysine, methyltransferase activity in vitro, while not interacting with S-adenosyl methionine (AdoMet), unlike most methyltransferase inhibitors which compete for the AdoMet binding site.
Protein arginine N-methyltransferases (PRMTs) are involved in post-translational modification implicated in protein trafficking, signal transduction, and transcriptional regulation. AMI-1 does not inhibit lysine methyltransferase activity and does not interact with S-adenosylmethionine (AdoMet), unlike most methyltransferase inhibitors which compete for the AdoMet binding site. AMI-1 can modulate nuclear receptor-regulated transcription from estrogen and androgen response elements; and is a HIV-1 reverse transcriptase inhibitor. AMI-1 is a potent antagonist of NADPH-oxidase-derived superoxide production, but acts as a direct antioxidant rather than indirectly through methyltransferase inhibition.

The complex architecture of neuronal networks in the brain requires tight control of the actin cytoskeleton. The actin nucleator Cobl is critical for neuronal morphogenesis. Here we reveal that Cobl is controlled by arginine methylation. Coprecipitations, coimmunoprecipitations, cellular reconstitutions, and in vitro
Mutations in the Krebs cycle enzyme IDH1 (isocitrate dehydrogenase (NADP(+)) 1) are associated with better prognosis in gliomas. Though IDH1 mutant (IDH1R132H) tumors are characterized by their antiproliferative signatures maintained through hypermethylation of DNA and chromatin, mechanisms affecting cell death
We offer a variety of small molecule research tools, such as transcription factor modulators, inhibitors of chromatin modifying enzymes, and agonists/antagonists for target identification and validation in gene regulation research; a selection of these research tools is shown below.
