Figure Lengend Snippet: ( A ) Immunoprecipitations were carried out using anti-MYPT1 1-296 and anti-PRMT5 antibodies as well as nonimmune rabbit serum as negative control. Immunoprecipitates and HepG2 total lysate were analysed by Western blots using antibodies specific for MYPT1 and PRMT5. ( B ) SPR analysis of the interaction of MYPT1 with PRMT5. Full-length GST-MYPT1 1-1004 was immobilized on anti-GST coupled CM5 sensor chip. FT-PRMT5 was injected over the surfaces in the indicated concentrations. The interaction was monitored using Biacore 3000. The association constant (K a ) value was indicated in the figure.

Figure Lengend Snippet: ( A ) Autoradiograms of PRMT5 phosphorylated in the absence or in the presence of 0.1 μg/ml protein kinase A (PKA, left panel), 0.1 μg/ml protein kinase C (PKC, middle panel) or 0.4 U/ml Rho-associated kinase (ROK, right panel) with 32 P-ATP. ( B ) Western blot analysis of ROK-phosphorylated PRMT5 using antibody specific for phospho-Thr. After stripping the membrane anti-PRMT5 antibody was applied to detect PRMT5 as an input control. ( C ) Ion trap collision-induced dissociation (CID) spectra of PRMT5 phosphopeptides. CID of m/z: 656.338 (3+) identified as SDLLLSGRDWNpTLIVGK representing [69–85] of the wild type protein. Thr80 was identified as the modification site (see fragment ion y 11 (phosphorylated)). Peptide fragments are labeled according to the nomenclature by Biemann . ( D ) Effect of ROK inhibitor (10 μM H1152) on the phosphorylation level of PRMT5 during in vitro ROK assay. Control samples were prepared in the absence of ROK, positive control samples were prepared in the presence of ROK without ROK inhibitor. Relative phosphorylation level of Thr80 was judged by Western blot using anti- pPRMT5 T80 antibody and blots for PRMT5 served as loading control. ( E ) Effect of 25 nM FT-MYPT1 and 5 nM rPP1cδ or their combination on the phosphorylation level of PRMT5 at Thr80 80 as judged by Western blot. Data were compared to ROK-phosphorylated PRMT5. ( F , G ) Amount of MEP50 bound to FT-PRMT5 during ROK-phosphorylation ( F ) and dephosphorylation by MP ( G ) compared to unphosphorylated control samples. MEP50 was detected by anti-MEP50 antibody during Western blot and relative amount was normalized to the level of PRMT5. ( H , I ) In vitro arginine methyltransferase assay of unphosphorylated and ROK-phosphorylated PRMT5 measured by the symmetric dimethylation level of histone H2A Arg3 (H2AR3me2s, F) or histone H4 Arg3 (H4R3me2s, G) in the presence of 25 nM FT-MYPT1, 5 nM rPP1cδ or their combinations. Gels have been processed under the same experimental conditions. Values represents mean ± SEM; **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001, ****p < 0.0001, # p < 0.05, one-way ANOVA followed by Tukey’s multiple comparison test, n = 3.

Figure Lengend Snippet: Immunofluorescent staining of non-target control (Ctrl) and MYPT1-silenced (siMYPT1) cells using antibodies specific for MYPT1 1-296 ( A ), PRMT5 ( B ), histone H2A symmetric dimethyl Arg3 (H2AR3me2s ( C ) and histone H4 symmetric dimethyl Arg3 (H4R3me2s ( D ) and actin as inducated in the figures. Scale bars: 50 μM. Enlargement of framed regions in merged images are shown on the right on A, B, C and D panels. Nuclear fractions of non-target control (Ctrl) and MYPT1-silenced (siMYPT1) HepG2 cells were prepared and analysed by Western blot using anti-MYPT1 1-296 ( E ), anti-PRMT5 ( F ), anti-pPRMT5 T80 ( G ), anti-histone H2A symmetric dimethyl Arg3 ( H ) and anti-histone H4 symmetric dimethyl Arg3 ( I ) specific antibodies. The relative expression of MYPT1 or PRMT5 and the relative symmetric dimethylation level of H2AR3 or H4R3 were normalized to lamin A/C as internal control. Samples derived from the same experiment and the blots were processed in parallel or assayed after stripping. The relative phosphorylation level of PRMT5 T80 was normalized to the expression level of PRMT5 and then to lamin A/C as internal control by densitometry. Mean ± SEM; n = 3; *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001, ****p < 0.0001 by student t- test.

Figure Lengend Snippet: Reverse phase protein microarray analysis was conducted to study the changes in protein expression and posttranslational modification of PRMT5 ( A , B ), MYPT1 ( C , D ) and histone H2A ( E , F ) proteins in normal and tumor human cell lysates. Human HCC samples (n = 20) were grouped based on their clinically verified stage (middle grey columns) or grade (dark grey columns) classification of tumor. Average of HCC samples irrespectively of grouping and other types of metastatic liver cancer tissues are shown next to each other (light grey columns). Protein microarray contains 15 cancer cell lines and normal tissue lysate of controls of corresponding organs in triplicates (black columns). Value of 1 means average of relative expression, phosphorylation or symmetrical dimethylation of the given protein or residue to the corresponding non-tumor samples. Blots were processed under the same experimental procedure. Datas are mean ± SEM; *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001, ****p < 0.0001 by student t- test.

Figure Lengend Snippet: We hypothesize that MP and ROK are involved in gene expression. Under normal conditions MP modulates symmetrical dimethylation of histone core proteins in cell nucleus via dephosphorylation of PRMT5 at its activatory phosphorylation site (Thr80) causing changes in gene expression. In tumor cells inhibitory phosphorylation of MP on Thr850 is increased leading to higher phosphorylation level of PRMT5 at Thr80 by ROK. Activated PRMT5 provokes gene repression by raising symmetrical dimethylation of histone H4 Arg3 that triggers proto-oncogene activation and tumor formation.
