Pharmacological inhibition of PRMT7 links arginine monomethylation to the cellular stress response

Protein arginine methyltransferases (PRMTs) are increasingly recognized as potential therapeutic targets but PRMT7 remains an understudied member of this enzyme family. Here, the authors develop a chemical probe for PRMT7 and apply it to elucidate the role of PRMT7 in the cellular stress response.
