== Function ==
[https://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/CARM1_HUMAN CARM1_HUMAN] Methylates (mono- and asymmetric dimethylation) the guanidino nitrogens of arginyl residues in several proteins involved in DNA packaging, transcription regulation, pre-mRNA splicing, and mRNA stability. Recruited to promoters upon gene activation together with histone acetyltransferases from EP300/P300 and p160 families, methylates histone H3 at 'Arg-17' (H3R17me), forming mainly asymmetric dimethylarginine (H3R17me2a), leading to activate transcription via chromatin remodeling. During nuclear hormone receptor activation and TCF7L2/TCF4 activation, acts synergically with EP300/P300 and either one of the p160 histone acetyltransferases NCOA1/SRC1, NCOA2/GRIP1 and NCOA3/ACTR or CTNNB1/beta-catenin to activate transcription. During myogenic transcriptional activation, acts together with NCOA3/ACTR as a coactivator for MEF2C. During monocyte inflammatory stimulation, acts together with EP300/P300 as a coactivator for NF-kappa-B. Acts as coactivator for PPARG, promotes adipocyte differentiation and the accumulation of brown fat tissue. Plays a role in the regulation of pre-mRNA alternative splicing by methylation of splicing factors. Also seems to be involved in p53/TP53 transcriptional activation. Methylates EP300/P300, both at 'Arg-2142', which may loosen its interaction with NCOA2/GRIP1, and at 'Arg-580' and 'Arg-604' in the KIX domain, which impairs its interaction with CREB and inhibits CREB-dependent transcriptional activation. Also methylates arginine residues in RNA-binding proteins PABPC1, ELAVL1 and ELAV4, which may affect their mRNA-stabilizing properties and the half-life of their target mRNAs.<ref>PMID:16497732</ref> <ref>PMID:19405910</ref>

== Publication Abstract from PubMed ==
CARM1 is a protein arginine methyltransferase and acts as a transcriptional coactivator regulating multiple biological processes. Aberrant expression of CARM1 has been related to the progression of multiple types of cancers, and therefore CARM1 was considered as a promising drug target. In the present work, we report the structure-based discovery of a series of N(1)-(3-(pyrimidin-2-yl)benzyl)ethane-1,2-diamines as potent CARM1 inhibitors, in which compound 43 displays high potency and selectivity. With the advantage of excellent tissue distribution, compound 43 demonstrated good in vivo efficacy for solid tumors. Furthermore, from the detailed immuno-oncology study with MC38 C57BL/6J xenograft model, we confirmed that this chemical probe 43 has profound effects in tumor immunity, which paves the way for future studies on the modulation of arginine post-translational modification that could be utilized in solid tumor treatment and cancer immunotherapy.
