Synonyms: | histone H4KR3 methylation, histone H4R3 arginine methylase activity, histone methylase activity (H4-R3 specific), histone methyltransferase activity (H4-R3 specific), histone-arginine N-methyltransferase activity (H4-R3 specific) |
Definition: | Catalysis of the reaction: S-adenosyl-L-methionine + (histone H4)-arginine (position 3) = S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine + (histone H4)-N-methyl-arginine (position 3).
