Protein arginine methyltransferase 5 (PRMT5), a type II arginine methyltransferase, controls arginine dimethylation of a variety of substrates. While many papers have reported the function of mammalian PRMT5, it remains unclear how PRMT5 functions in chicken cells. In this study, we found that chicken (ch) PRMT5 is widely expressed in a variety of chicken tissues and is distributed in both the cytoplasm and the nucleus. Ectopic expression of chPRMT5 significantly suppresses chIFN-β activation induced by chMDA5. In addition, a prmt5 gene-deficient DF-1 cell line was constructed using CRISPR/Cas9. In comparison with the wild-type cells, the prmt5 DF-1 cells displays normal morphology and maintain proliferative capacity. Luciferase reporter assay and overexpression showed that prmt5 DF-1 cells had increased IFN-β production. With identified chicken PRMT5 and CRISPR/Cas9 knockout performed in DF-1 cells, we uncovered a functional link of chPRMT5 in suppression of IFN-β production and interferon-stimulated gene expression.

The infectious bursal diseases virus (IBDV) polymerase, VP1 protein, is responsible for transcription, initial translation and viral genomic replication. Knowledge about the new kind of post-translational modification of VP1 supports identification of novel drugs against the virus. Because the arginine residue is known to be methylated by protein arginine methyltransferase (PRMT) enzyme, we investigated whether IBDV VP1 is a substrate for known PRMTs.

Protein arginine methyltransferase 1 (PRMT1) and the product of this enzyme (histone H4 asymmetrically dimethylated at Arg 3; H4R3me2a) are important in the establishment and maintenance of chicken and murine erythrocyte transcriptionally active chromatin. Silencing the expression of PRMT1 results in loss of acetylated histones H3 and H4 and methylated H3K4 and prevents erythropoiesis. Here, we show that H4R3me2a and the PRMT5-catalyzed histone H3 symmetrically dimethylated at Arg 2 (H3R2me2s) locate largely to introns of expressed genes and intergenic regions, with both marks co-localizing in the chicken polychromatic erythrocyte genome.

High levels of angiogenesis are associated with poor prognosis in patients with gliomas. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying tumor angiogenesis remain unclear. The effect of homeobox C10 (HOXC10) on tube formation, migration, and proliferation of human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) and on chicken chorioallantoic membranes (CAMs) was examined.

Prdm1 is a global repressor of transcription that plays multiple important roles during embryonic development, including neural crest specification. Prdm1 acts by repressing large sets of genes via sequence-specific recruitment of co-repressors, many of which are epigenetic modifiers. It is not known whether Prdm1 is expressed during neural crest development in chick embryo.
