name: protein arginine N5-methyltransferase activity
namespace: molecular_function
def: "Catalysis of the transfer of a methyl group from S-adenosyl-L-methionine to the delta-nitrogen atom of peptidyl-arginine residues. The reaction is S-adenosyl-L-methionine + [protein]-L-arginine = S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine + [protein]-N5-methyl-L-arginine." [EC:2.1.1.322, PMID:11856739, PMID:9873020]
comment: This enzyme, characterized from the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, methylates the delta-nitrogen atom of arginine residues within proteins. Among its substrates are R67 of the ribosomal protein L12.
