Peptidylarginine deiminase 2 regulates expression of DGCR8 affecting miRNA biogenesis in gonadotrope cells. [PDF]
In brief: DGCR8 microprocessor complex, which is important for miRNA biogenesis, is regulated by peptidylarginine deiminase 2 and expression fluctuates in gonadotrope cells across the mouse estrous cycle.

The virtues and vices of protein citrullination
The post-translational modification of proteins expands the regulatory scope of the proteome far beyond what is achievable through genome regulation. The field of protein citrullination has seen significant progress in the last two decades.

Peptidylarginine Deiminase Inhibition Abolishes the Production of Large Extracellular Vesicles From Giardia intestinalis, Affecting Host-Pathogen Interactions by Hindering Adhesion to Host Cells [PDF]
Giardia intestinalis is a microaerophilic protozoan that is an important etiologic agent of diarrhea worldwide. There is evidence that under diverse conditions, the parasite is capable of shedding extracellular vesicles (EVs) which modulate the ...

Peptidylarginine Deiminase 2 in Host Immunity: Current Insights and Perspectives
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

Putative Roles for Peptidylarginine Deiminases in COVID-19 [PDF]
Peptidylarginine deiminases (PADs) are a family of calcium-regulated enzymes that are phylogenetically conserved and cause post-translational deimination/citrullination, contributing to protein moonlighting in health and disease. PADs are implicated in a range of inflammatory and autoimmune conditions, in the regulation of extracellular vesicle (EV ...

Deimination and Peptidylarginine Deiminases in Skin Physiology and Diseases [PDF]
Deimination, also known as citrullination, corresponds to the conversion of the amino acid arginine, within a peptide sequence, into the non-standard amino acid citrulline. This post-translational modification is catalyzed by a family of calcium-dependent enzymes called peptidylarginine deiminases (PADs).

Peptidylarginine deiminases and deiminated proteins at the epidermal barrier [PDF]
AbstractDeimination or citrullination is a post‐translational modification catalysed by a family of calcium‐dependent enzymes called peptidylarginine deiminases (PADs). It corresponds to the transformation of arginine residues within a peptide sequence into citrulline residues. Deimination induces a decreased net charge of targeted proteins; therefore,

Current Challenges and Limitations in Antibody-Based Detection of Citrullinated Histones
Studies on NETosis demand reliable and convenient markers to monitor the progress of this form of cell death. Because a determining step in the release of nuclear chromatin NETs requires the conversion of arginine residues to citrulline residues in ...
