Protein C23 (Mr 110 000, pI = 5.5), a major phosphoprotein in the nucleolus of mammalian cells, has been shown to contain 1.3 mol % of NG, NG-dimethylarginine (DMA) [Lische, M.A., Roberts, K.D., Yeoman, L.C. and Busch, H. (1982) J. Biol. Chem. 257, 14600-14602]. A tryptic peptide from protein C23 that contains DMA has been isolated and sequenced. Its sequence is Gly-Glu-Gly-Gly-Phe-Gly-Gly-DMA-Gly-Gly-Gly-DMA-Gly-Gly-Phe-Gly-Gly-DMA-Gly-Gly-Gly-DMA-Gly-Gly-DMA-Gly-Gly-PHe-Gly-Gly-DMA-Gly-DMA-Gly-Gly-Phe-Gly-Gly-DMA-Gly-Gly-Phe-DMA-Gly-Gly-DMA-Gly-Gly-Gly-Gly-ASP-PHe-Lys. This peptide contains 34 glycine, 10 DMA, and 6 phenylalanine residues and has clusters of glycine and NG,NG-dimethylarginine interspersed with phenylalanine residues. A similar domain has been found at the amino terminus of a nucleolar protein of Mr 34 000, pI = 8.5. This sequence array may represent a conserved domain characteristic of a certain class of nuclear proteins. All of the methylated arginine residues in protein C23, the 34-kilodalton protein, and myelin basic protein [Carnegie, P.R. (1971) Biochem. J. 123, 57-67] have at least one adjacent glycine. Access of certai arginine methylases to argine residues may be sterically possible because of the lack of a side chain on the adjacent glycine residue(s).
