Able to mono- and dimethylate EWS protein; however its precise role toward EWS remains unclear as it still interacts with fully methylated EWS. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:16051612, ECO:0000269|PubMed:17925405, ECO:0000269|PubMed:18320585}. |PRMT5| |Methyltransf 18| |PrmA| |anchored component of the cytoplasmic side of the plasma membrane| |protein-arginine omega-N monomethyltransferase activity| |peptidyl-arginine methylation, to asymmetrical-dimethyl arginine| |protein-arginine omega-N asymmetric methyltransferase activity| |histone-arginine N-methyltransferase activity| |peptidyl-arginine omega-N-methylation| |S-adenosyl-L-methionine binding| |peptidyl-arginine N-methylation| |S-adenosylmethionine-dependent methyltransferase activity| |histone arginine methylation| |peptidyl-arginine methylation| |peptidyl-arginine modification| |histone methylation| |protein alkylation| |protein methylation| |regulation of protein binding| |macromolecule methylation| |methylation| |protein homooligomerization| |histone modification| |covalent chromatin modification| |regulation of binding| |protein heterodimerization activity| |protein complex oligomerization| |chromatin organization| |protein homodimerization activity| |peptidyl-amino acid modification| |chromosome organization| |identical protein binding| |protein-containing complex assembly| |protein-containing complex subunit organization| \\ === CRISPR Data === ^Screen^Score^ |[[:results:exp94|Nocodazole 0.1μM R03 exp94]]|-1.73| |[[:results:exp346|CoCl2 18μM R07 exp346]]|1.74| |[[:results:exp345|Cidofovir 10μM R07 exp345]]|1.83| ^Gene^Correlation^ |[[:human genes:c:cope|COPE]]|0.463| |[[:human genes:h:hgc6.3|HGC6.3]]|0.455| |[[:human genes:c:c14orf93|C14orf93]]|0.451| |[[:human genes:s:snrpa1|SNRPA1]]|0.43| |[[:human genes:c:ckap5|CKAP5]]|0.425| |[[:human genes:p:pwp2|PWP2]]|0.418| |[[:human genes:t:tbc1d3g|TBC1D3G]]|0.407| |[[:human genes:d:ddt|DDT]]|0.402| |[[:human genes:o:orc1|ORC1]]|0.402| |[[:human genes:t:tfip11|TFIP11]]|0.4| Global Fraction of Cell Lines Where Essential: 0/726 ^Tissue^Fraction Of Cell Lines Where Essential^ |1290807.0|0/1| |909776.0|0/1| |bile duct|0/28| |blood|0/28| |bone|0/25| |breast|0/33| |central nervous system|0/56| |cervix|0/4| |colorectal|0/17| |esophagus|0/13| |fibroblast|0/1| |gastric|0/15| |kidney|0/21| |liver|0/20| |lung|0/75| |lymphocyte|0/14| |ovary|0/26| |pancreas|0/24| |peripheral nervous system|0/16| |plasma cell|0/15| |prostate|0/1| |skin|0/24| |soft tissue|0/7| |thyroid|0/2| |upper aerodigestive|0/22| |urinary tract|0/29| |uterus|0/5| == Essentiality in NALM6 == * **Essentiality Rank**: 2392 * **Expression level (log2 read counts)**: 0.77 {{:chemogenomics:nalm6 dist.png?nolink |}}
