Progression on Citrullination of Proteins in Gastrointestinal Cancers [PDF]

open access: yesFrontiers in Oncology, 2019
The citrullination modification (Cit) of proteins has received increasing attention in recent years. This kind of protein modification was first discovered in autoimmune diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis.

Citrullination and autoimmunity

open access: yesAutoimmunity Reviews, 2015
Autoimmune diseases are characterized by the body's own immune system attack to the self-tissues, a condition enabled, in predisposed subjects, by the reduction of self-tolerance.

The role of SERPIN citrullination in thrombosis

open access: yesCell Chemical Biology, 2021
Aberrant protein citrullination is associated with many pathologies, however, the specific effects of this modification remain unknown. We have previously demonstrated that serine protease inhibitors (SERPINs) are highly citrullinated in Rheumatoid ...

Citrullination in health and disease: From physiological function to gene regulation

open access: yesGenes and Diseases
Protein citrullination involves the deimination of arginine or methylarginine residues in peptide chains to form citrulline by peptidyl arginine deiminases.

Histone citrullination: a new target for tumors

open access: yesMolecular Cancer, 2021
As the main protein components of chromatin, histones play central roles in gene regulation as spools of winding DNA. Histones are subject to various modifications, including phosphorylation, acetylation, glycosylation, methylation, ubiquitination and ...

Citrullination Alters the Antiviral and Immunomodulatory Activities of the Human Cathelicidin LL-37 During Rhinovirus Infection

open access: yesFrontiers in Immunology, 2020
Human rhinoviruses (HRV) are the most common cause of viral respiratory tract infections. While normally mild and self-limiting in healthy adults, HRV infections are associated with bronchiolitis in infants, pneumonia in immunocompromised patients, and ...

Cholinergic dysfunction-induced insufficient activation of alpha7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptor drives the development of rheumatoid arthritis through promoting protein citrullination via the SP3/PAD4 pathway

open access: yesActa Pharmaceutica Sinica B, 2023
Both cholinergic dysfunction and protein citrullination are the hallmarks of rheumatoid arthritis (RA), but the relationship between the two phenomena remains unclear. We explored whether and how cholinergic dysfunction accelerates protein citrullination

Citrullination only infrequently impacts peptide binding to HLA class II MHC [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2017
It has been hypothesized that HLA class II alleles associated with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) preferentially present self-antigens altered by post-translational modification, such as citrullination.

Joint inflammation related citrullination of functional arginines in extracellular proteins [PDF]

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2017
We report the extent, specific sites and structural requirements of joint inflammation related citrullination in extracellular proteins. A total of 40 synovial fluid samples derived from chronically inflamed human joints were analysed by heparin-agarose ...

Citrullination and autophagy [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
During evolution, the eukaryotic cells develop different processes in order to adapt themselves to environmental changes, as well as to die or to survive.
