H4R3me2a/s refers to the dimethylation of arginine residue at position 3 on histone H4, specifically generating two forms: asymmetrical dimethylarginine (H4R3me2a) and symmetrical dimethylarginine (H4R3me2s). These modifications are crucial in the regulation of gene expression through epigenetic mechanisms, affecting chromatin structure and function. Recent studies suggest that H4R3me2a is linked to transcriptional activation, whereas H4R3me2s is often associated with transcriptional repression. These modifications are brought about by the activity of specific histone methyltransferases, such as PRMT1 for asymmetrical and PRMT5 for symmetrical dimethylation. The balance and dynamics of these modifications are essential for various cellular processes and can influence developmental pathways and disease pathogenesis, including cancer and metabolic disorders.
