Autocitrullination confers monocyte chemotactic properties to peptidylarginine deiminase 4 [PDF]

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2023
Peptidylarginine deiminase 4 (PAD4) contributes to the production of citrullinated proteins as autoantigens for anti-citrullinated protein antibodies (ACPAs) in rheumatoid arthritis (RA). PAD4 can also self-deiminate via autocitrullination.

Peptidylarginine deiminase 4-mediated citrullination in human disease: molecular mechanisms and therapeutic targeting [PDF]

open access: yesFrontiers in Pharmacology
Peptidylarginine deiminase 4 (PAD4) is a calcium-dependent enzyme that catalyzes protein citrullination, a post-translational modification that can alter protein charge, conformation, and function. Among the mammalian peptidylarginine deiminase isoforms,

Anti-peptidylarginine deiminase-4 antibodies at mucosal sites can activate peptidylarginine deiminase-4 enzyme activity in rheumatoid arthritis [PDF]

open access: yesArthritis Research & Therapy, 2021
Background Mucosal sites are hypothesized to play a role in the development of rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Since serum anti-peptidylarginine deiminase (PAD)4 antibodies, including a subset that cross-react with PAD3 (PAD3/4), are specific for RA and ...

Peptidylarginine deiminase 4 deficiency alleviates hypoxia/reoxygenation-induced cardiomyocyte injury. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE
BackgroundCardiac ischemia reperfusion (I/R) injury is a serious consequence of reperfusion therapy for myocardial infarction (MI). Peptidylarginine deiminase 4 (PAD4) is a calcium-dependent enzyme that catalyzes the citrullination of proteins.

Roles of peptidylarginine deiminase (PAD) and protein citrullination in viral infections [PDF]

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology
Peptidylarginine deiminases (PADs) are calcium-dependent enzymes that catalyze protein citrullination, a post-translational modification implicated in both physiological processes and the pathogenesis of various diseases.

Peptidylarginine Deiminase 2 in Host Immunity: Current Insights and Perspectives [PDF]

open access: yesFrontiers in Immunology, 2021
Peptidylarginine deiminases (PADs) are a group of enzymes that catalyze post-translational modifications of proteins by converting arginine residues into citrullines. Among the five members of the PAD family, PAD2 and PAD4 are the most frequently studied

Peptidylarginine Deiminase 2 in Murine Antiviral and Autoimmune Antibody Responses [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Immunology Research, 2022
The peptidylarginine deiminases (PADs) and the citrullinated proteins that they generate have key roles in innate immunity and rheumatoid arthritis, an inflammatory arthritis with antibodies that target citrullinated proteins.

Crystal structure of human peptidylarginine deiminase type VI (PAD6) provides insights into its inactivity [PDF]

open access: yesIUCrJ
Human peptidylarginine deiminase isoform VI (PAD6), which is predominantly limited to cytoplasmic lattices in the mammalian oocytes in ovarian tissue, is essential for female fertility.

Intrinsic function of the peptidylarginine deiminase PADI4 is dispensable for normal haematopoiesis [PDF]

open access: yesBiology Open, 2022
Peptidylarginine deiminases (PADIs) are strongly associated with the development of autoimmunity, neurodegeneration and cancer but their physiological roles are ill-defined.
