Activation of PAD4 in NET formation [PDF]
Peptidyl arginine deiminases, or PADs, convert arginine residues to the non-ribosomally encoded amino acid citrulline in a variety of protein substrates.

Profiling Protein Arginine Deiminase 4 (PAD4): A novel screen to identify PAD4 inhibitors [PDF]
Protein Arginine Deiminase 4 (PAD4) has emerged as a leading target for the development of a Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) pharmaceutical. Herein, we describe the development of a novel screen for PAD4 inhibitors that is based on a PAD4-targeted Activity-Based Protein Profiling reagent, denoted Rhodamine-conjugated F-Amidine (RFA).

Regulating Neutrophil PAD4/NOX-Dependent Cerebrovasular Thromboinflammation [PDF]
Background: Neutrophil extracellular trap (NET) production has been implicated in the pathogenesis of thromboinflammatory conditions such as Sickle Cell Disease (SCD), contributing to heightened risk for ischemic stroke. NETs are catalyzed by the enzyme Peptidyl Arginine Deiminase 4 (PAD4) and neutrophil derived reactive oxygen species (ROS ...

PAD4 controls chemoattractant production and neutrophil trafficking in malaria [PDF]
AbstractPeptidylarginine deiminase 4 (PAD4) is a key regulator of inflammation but its function in infections remains incompletely understood. We investigate PAD4 in the context of malaria and demonstrate a role in regulation of immune cell trafficking and chemokine production. PAD4 regulates liver immunopathology by promoting neutrophil trafficking in

MiR-155 Regulates PAD4-Dependent Formation of Neutrophil Extracellular Traps
Accumulating data suggest that neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) exert a key function in several diseases. Peptidylarginine deiminase 4 (PAD4) regulates NET formation via citrullination of histones.

Regulation of E2F1 by PAD4 mediated citrullination [PDF]
Peptidyl arginine deiminase (PAD) 4 is a nuclear enzyme that converts arginine residues to citrulline. PAD4 activity has been implicated in inflammatory disease and cancer, although its mechanism of action, particularly the identity of functionally relevant targets, remains unclear.

Functional role of dimerization of human peptidylarginine deiminase 4 (PAD4). [PDF]
Peptidylarginine deiminase 4 (PAD4) is a homodimeric enzyme that catalyzes Ca²⁺-dependent protein citrullination, which results in the conversion of arginine to citrulline.

Mapping benefit, risk, and opportunity in PAD4 inhibition
Peptidylarginine deiminase 4 (PAD4) is increasingly targeted to modulate inflammatory pathology, yet its inhibition produces biological effects that extend beyond the processes it was originally designed to suppress. While PAD4 targeting has largely been

Expression of peptidylarginine deiminase 2 and 4 in malignant mesothelioma and its clinical significance [PDF]
Objective To investigate the expression of peptidylarginine deiminase 2 and 4 (PAD2 and PAD4) in malignant mesothelioma (MM), their correlation with citrullinated proteins and clinical significance.
