PRMT1 (Wang et al. 2001, Strahl et al. 2001, Wagner et al. 2006) and PRMT6 (Hyllus et al. 2007) can asymmetrically dimethylate histone H4 at arginine-3 (H4R3me2a). This functions as a transcriptional activation mark that can result in either the recruitment of methyl-binding proteins or the deposition of other posttranslational marks. PRMT1 is the best studied. It is recruited to promoters by a number of different transcription factors (Bedford & Richard 2005). PRMT1-knockout mice die shortly after implantation (Pawlak et al. 2000). In vitro PRMT1 can also methylate histone H2A at arginine-3 (Strahl et al. 2001).
