The alpha-subunit of the cardiac voltage-gated sodium channel (Na(V)1.5) plays a central role in cardiomyocyte excitability. We have recently reported that Na(V)1.5 is post-translationally modified by arginine methylation. Here, we aimed to identify the enzymes that methylate Na(V)1.5, and to describe the role of arginine methylation on Na(V)1.5 function. Our results show that protein arginine methyl transferase (PRMT)-3 and -5 methylate Na(V)1.5 in vitro, interact with Na(V)1.5 in human embryonic kidney (HEK) cells, and increase Na(V)1.5 current density by enhancing Na(V)1.5 cell surface expression. Our observations are the first evidence of regulation of a voltage-gated ion channel, including calcium, potassium, sodium and TRP channels, by arginine methylation.
