AMI-1 is a potent, cell-permeable compound which inhibits protein arginine N-methyltransferases (PRMTs), including human PRMT1 (IC50 = 8.8muM) and yeast-Hmt1p (IC50 = 3.0muM), by blocking peptide-substrate binding. AMI-1 does not compete for the AdoMet (S-adenosyl-L-methionine SAM) binding site and exhibits minimal effects on both SET (Sub39H1, Suv39H2, SET7) and non-SET (DOT1) lysine N-methyltransferases. AMI-1 suppresses the transcriptional coactivator activity of PRMT1 and PRMT4 and it inhibits HIV-1 RT polymerase (IC50 = 5.0muM). PRMT1 methylates histone H4, and is essential for other subsequent histone modifications. AMI-1, a powerful and specific inhibitor of arginine methyltransferase, not only effectively counteracts NADPH-oxidase-derived superoxide, but also influences the transcription of nuclear receptor-regulated genes through estrogen and androgen response elements.
