Summary
PRMT9 (protein arginine methyltransferase 9, HGNC:25099) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 4q31.23, encoding Protein arginine N-methyltransferase 9 (Q6P2P2). Arginine methyltransferase that can both catalyze the formation of omega-N monomethylarginine (MMA) and symmetrical dimethylarginine (sDMA).
This gene encodes a type II methyltransferase. Post-translational modification of target proteins by PRMTs plays an important regulatory role in many biological processes, whereby PRMTs methylate arginine residues by transferring methyl groups from S-adenosyl-L-methionine to the guanidino nitrogen atoms of arginine. The protein encoded by this gene methylates spliceosome associated protein 145 to regulate alternative splicing and acts as a modulator of small nuclear ribonucleoprotein maturation. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding multiple isoforms have been observed for this gene.

Literature-anchored findings (GeneRIF, showing 8)
- PRMT9 is a type II methyltransferase that methylates the splicing factor SAP145. (PMID:25737013)
- The decrease in PRMT10 was canceled by knockdown of AR or an AR antagonist. These results indicate that PRMT10 plays an important role in androgen-dependent proliferation of prostate cancer cells (PMID:25799006)
- Although amino acid substitutions of residues surrounding Arg-508 had no great effect on PRMT9 recognition of SF3B2, moving the arginine residue within this sequence abolished methylation. (PMID:25979344)
- Mechanistically, miR-543 inhibited PRMT9-enhanced cell oxidative phosphorylation, while miR-543 depletion promoted PRMT9-increased HIF-1alpha instability and inhibited glycolysis in osteosarcoma (OS) cells. Clinically, miR-543 expression was negatively correlated with PRMT9 expression in OS tissues. (PMID:27911265)
- Study demonstrated that PRMT9 is an oncogene that plays an important role in hepatocellular carcinoma cells invasion and metastasis through EMT by regulating Snail expression via activation of the PI3K/Akt/GSK-3beta/Snail signaling pathway. (PMID:29603830)
- The protein arginine methyltransferase PRMT9 attenuates MAVS activation through arginine methylation. (PMID:36028484)

Reactome pathways and GO biological processes over-represented among this gene’s 57 IntAct physical interaction partners (hypergeometric vs the genome-wide background, BH-FDR, gene-set size 15–500, ranked by fold). A functional readout of the neighbourhood — distinct from this gene’s own memberships above, and biased toward well-studied / hub proteins, so read it as themes rather than proof.
