Summary: Enables protein-arginine omega-N symmetric methyltransferase activity. Involved in intracellular mRNA localization; peptidyl-arginine methylation; and pole plasm assembly. Predicted to be active in cytosol and nucleus. Is expressed in embryonic/larval midgut; head mesoderm; organism; ovary; and trunk mesoderm. Orthologous to human PRMT5 (protein arginine methyltransferase 5). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Dec 2024]

Studies indicate that protein arginine methyltransferase 5 (PRMT5) plays a role in circadian clocks regulated alternative splicing process.
Title: Alternative splicing at the right time.
results demonstrate a key role for PRMT5 in the regulation of alternative splicing
Title: A methyl transferase links the circadian clock to the regulation of alternative splicing.
Germ plasm assembly requires symmetrically dimethylated modification of Aub by dPRMT5, which, in turn, is required for binding to Tudor.
Title: Arginine methylation of Aubergine mediates Tudor binding and germ plasm localization.
in germline cells, piRNAs are quality-controlled by dPRMT5 that modifies PIWI proteins, in tight association with Tud
