Porphyromonas gingivalis peptidylarginine deiminase substrate specificity

Anaerobe, 2013
While a group of oral commensals have been implicated in the aetiology of chronic periodontitis; the asaccharolytic Gram negative anaerobe Porphyromonas gingivalis is most commonly reported to be associated with severe forms of the disease. Although a variety of human tissues can produce a number of peptidylarginine deiminase (PAD), enzymes that ...

Peptidylarginine Deiminase and Alzheimer’s Disease

Journal of Alzheimer's Disease, 2022
Peptidylarginine deiminases (PADs) are indispensable enzymes for post-translational modification of proteins, which can convert Arg residues on the surface of proteins to citrulline residues. The PAD family has five isozymes, PAD1, 2, 3, 4, and 6, which have been found in multiple tissues and organs.

Citrullination by Peptidylarginine Deiminase in Rheumatoid Arthritis

Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, 2007
Abstract:  Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a complex, multifactorial disease with genetic and immunological aspects. Because RA is an autoimmune condition, dysregulation of the immune system is implied. Many linkage and association studies have also indicated that multiple genetic factors are associated with RA.

The developmental expression and activity of peptidylarginine deiminase in the mouse

Neuroscience Letters, 1999
We have measured the expression and activity of peptidylarginine deiminase (PAD, EC 3.5.3.15), the enzyme responsible for converting arginyl residues in proteins to citrullines, in normal mouse brain homogenate. PAD transcripts were detected as early as five days and were maximal at one month of age. The enzyme protein was also detected at 5 days in an

Peptidylarginine deiminases 4 as a promising target in drug discovery

European Journal of Medicinal Chemistry, 2021
Peptidylarginine deaminase 4 (PAD4) is a crucial post-translational modifying enzyme catalyzing the conversion of arginine into citrulline residues, and mediating the formation of neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs). PAD4 plays a vital role in the occurrence and development of cardiovascular diseases, autoimmune diseases, and various tumors ...

Immunohistochemical localization of peptidylarginine deiminase in the rat brain

Journal of Chemical Neuroanatomy, 1992
The enzyme peptidylarginine deiminase is responsible for the post-translational modification of certain proteins by catalysing the deimination of arginine residues to citrullines. Recently, peptidylarginine deiminase has been purified from rat skeletal muscle and its primary structure determined by molecular cloning.

Peptidylarginine deiminase 4 and citrullination in health and disease

Autoimmunity Reviews, 2010
Deimination is catalyzed by a family of calcium binding enzymes, called peptidylarginine deiminases (PADs). Among these, the PAD4 isoform has been more extensively studied for its role in some autoimmune diseases. PAD4 is localized in the cytoplasm of monocytes, T and B cells, neutrophils, eosinophils and NK cells and can move to the nucleus upon cell ...
