Arginine methylation is a post‐translational modification in histone and nonhistone proteins that can affect numerous cellular activities. Protein arginine methyltransferase 7 (Prmt7), a type III arginine methyltransferase, catalyzes the formation of stable monomethylarginines of histones. The role of PRMT7 in virus‐induced innate immunity signaling, however, remains largely unknown. We demonstrate that zebrafishprmt7could be inhibited by spring viremia of carp virus (SVCV) and grass carp reovirus (GCRV) infection. The overexpression ofprmt7suppresses cellular antiviral responses that are partially dependent on the arginine methyltransferase activity ofprmt7. Consistently,prmt7‐null zebrafish were more resistant to SVCV or GCRV infection, exhibiting enhanced expression of key antiviral genes and fewer necrotic cells in the liver and kidney upon viral infection. Furthermore, we established a zebrafish model to investigate grass carp hemorrhagic disease. Our findings suggest that by suppressing the RIG‐I‐like receptors signaling, zebrafishprmt7negatively regulates antiviral responses, indicating the vital role ofprmt7and its arginine methyltransferase activity in innate immunity.
