1 Huntingtin-mediated axonal transport requires arginine methylation by PRMT6. Arginine huntingtin Homo sapiens
2 To better understand how HTT mediates axonal transport and why this function is disrupted in Huntington"s disease (HD), we study vesicle-associated HTT and find that it is dimethylated at a highly conserved arginine residue (R118) by the protein arginine methyltransferase 6 (PRMT6). Arginine huntingtin Homo sapiens
3 Arginine methylation thus regulates HTT-mediated vesicular transport along the axon, and increasing HTT methylation could be of therapeutic interest for HD. Arginine huntingtin Homo sapiens
