Citrullination and Autophagy [PDF]
During evolution, the eukaryotic cells develop different processes in order to adapt themselves to environmental changes, as well as to die or to survive. These processes include apoptosis, NETosis, and autophagy: citrullination is implicated in all of these physiological mechanisms.

IntroductionPeptidylarginine deiminases (PADs) mediate citrullination, an irreversible posttranslational modification that converts arginine to citrulline residues in proteins.

Autophagy, citrullination and cancer [PDF]
A cell needs to maintain a balance between biosynthesis and degradation of cellular components to maintain homeostasis. There are 2 pathways, the proteasome, which degrades short-lived proteins, and the autophagy/lysosomal pathway, which degrades long-lived proteins and organelles. Both of these pathways are also involved in antigen presentation or the

Progression on Citrullination of Proteins in Gastrointestinal Cancers
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.

Rheumatoid arthritis and citrullination [PDF]
Purpose of reviewDysregulated citrullination is a key element that drives the production and maintenance of antibodies to citrullinated proteins, a hallmark in rheumatoid arthritis (RA). This article reviews recent literature on the origin of citrullinated antigens in RA.Recent findingsThe study of synovial fluid from patients with RA has provided ...

The role of the host—Neutrophil biology
Abstract Neutrophilic polymorphonuclear leukocytes (neutrophils) are myeloid cells packed with lysosomal granules (hence also called granulocytes) that contain a formidable antimicrobial arsenal. They are terminally differentiated cells that play a critical role in acute and chronic inflammation, as well as in the resolution of inflammation and wound ...

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 ...

Human cytomegalovirus-induced host protein citrullination is crucial for viral replication
Citrullination is a posttranslational modification of arginines. Here, the authors show that HCMV infection increases citrullination of host and virus proteins to promote infection and that citrullinated interferon-inducible protein IFIT1 is impaired in ...

Citrullination in Cancer [PDF]
Abstract Posttranslational modifications of proteins have been implicated in pathogenesis of numerous diseases. Arginine deimination (also known as citrullination) has a principal role in progression of rheumatoid arthritis through generation of autoantibodies and exacerbation of the inflammatory response.
