PRMT1 Promotes the Self‐renewal of Leukemia Stem Cells by Regulating Protein Synthesis by Min Zhou, Yi Huang, Ping Xu, Shuyi Li, Chen Duan, Xiaoying Lin, Shilai Bao, Waiyi Zou, Jingxuan Pan, Chang Liu, Yanli Jin

“…Mechanistical studies reveal that PRMT1 promotes transcriptional activation of ribosomal protein L29 (RPL29) via catalyzing asymmetric dimethylation of histone H4R3 (H4R3me2a) at its gene promoter region. PRMT1 augments the global protein synthesis via RPL29 in CML LSCs. Taken together, the findings provide new evidence that histone arginine methylation modification regulates protein synthesis in LSCs and highlight PRMT1 as a valuable druggable target for patients with CML.…”
