This research reveals that protein arginine methyltransferase-7 (PRMT-7) is indispensable to the nuclear transactivation of HLH-30. We demonstrated that PRMT-7 participates in the methylation of HLH-30 on its Rag complex binding domain to facilitate its nuclear localization. Moreover, we showed that PRMT7 is evolutionarily conserved to regulate TFEB cellular localization and repair plasma damage caused by PFTs in human intestinal cells.
