Data on human protein methylation were downloaded from PhosphoSitePlus (in Sept. 2021). Methylations were designated as "mitochondrial" when the corresponding protein is annotated with a mitochondrial localization in UniProt. For Arg and Lys methylations, the fraction constituted by each individual methylation state is indicated.
