TbPRMT1ENZ/PRO heteromer is the active form of a major T. brucei PRMT. For the in vitro methylation assay, MBP-RGG substrate was incubated with TbPRMTs in the presence of [3H]AdoMet. Proteins were separated by SDS-PAGE and visualized by fluorography and Coomassie staining. TbPRMT1ENZ (His-ENZ) and TbPRMT1PRO (His-PRO) do not exhibit any activity under the selected experimental conditions. The heteromer containing His-TbPRMT1PRO/ENZ exhibits activity comparable with rat GST-PRMT1. Reactions where MBP-RGG was excluded were used as a control (no substrate). S, substrate; E, enzyme; *, contaminant. The image is representative of two technical replicates.
