CARM1 regulation of pre-mRNA splicing. (A) Retention of introns 15 and 15 of Carm1 leads to the generation of a different form, called CARM1-v3. CARM1-v3 can interact with and methylate U1C, a member of the spliceosome complex. This favorably affects splicing of pre-mRNA. Moreover, CARM1 can methylate SmB and SAP49, other members of the spliceosome. (B) CARM1 contains an automethylation site on arginine 551. Mutating it to a lysine (R551K; methylation deficient) leads to a reduction in its ability to activate gene transcription of ERα target genes (TFF1 is shown as an example) or promote alternative splicing.
