Fig. 2. Molecular function of lysine and arginine methylation in control of protein stability.

Fig. 2

Lysine and arginine methylation regulates the function of protein by altering stability. Of note, lysine methylation converts protein stability negatively by methyl-degron (light green) and arginine methylation mainly increases protein stabilization by methyl-inactivated degron (dark green). Methyltransferase EZH2, G9a, and SETD7 modify lysine site via mono-methylation and further stimulate poly-ubiquitination of substrates by reader protein such as DCAF1 and L3MBTL3.
