The role of protein arginine methylation in serine metabolism of cancer cells in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) remains to be explored. Here, the authors show that phosphoglycerate dehydrogenase (PHGDH) is activated by PRMT1-mediated R236 methylation, promoting serine synthesis, redox homeostasis and HCC growth.
