Structure and pathogenicity of antibodies specific for citrullinated collagen type II in experimental arthritis [PDF]
Antibodies to citrulline-modifi ed proteins have a high diagnostic value in rheumatoid arthritis (RA). However, their biological role in disease development is still unclear.

A Secreted Bacterial Peptidylarginine Deiminase Can Neutralize Human Innate Immune Defenses
The keystone oral pathogen Porphyromonas gingivalis is associated with severe periodontitis. Intriguingly, this bacterium is known to secrete large amounts of an enzyme that converts peptidylarginine into citrulline residues.

Periodontitis and rheumatoid arthritis—Global efforts to untangle two complex diseases
Abstract Understanding the impact of oral health on rheumatoid arthritis (RA) will inform how best to manage patients with both periodontitis and RA. This review seeks to provide an update on interventional and mechanistic investigations, including a brief summary of European Research programs investigating the link between periodontitis and RA. Recent

Peptidylarginine deiminases in citrullination, gene regulation, health and pathogenesis [PDF]
Peptidylarginine deiminases are a family of enzymes that mediate post-translational modifications of protein arginine residues by deimination or demethylimination to produce citrulline. In vitro, the activity of PADs is dependent on calcium and reductive reagents carrying a free sulfhydryl group.

Metabolic reprogramming of the immune response in periodontitis
Abstract Objective Periodontitis, a highly prevalent chronic inflammatory disease, is characterized by the progressive destruction of the tooth‐supporting tissues, ultimately causing tooth loss. In recent years, the emerging field of immunometabolism has revealed that immune cell function is tightly regulated by intracellular metabolic pathways that ...

ABAP: Antibody-based assay for peptidylarginine deiminase activity
Members of the family of peptidylarginine deiminases (PADs, EC 3.5.3.15) catalyze the posttranslational modification of peptidylarginine into peptidylcitrulline. Citrulline-containing epitopes have been shown to be major and specific targets of autoantibodies produced by rheumatoid arthritis patients. Recently, the citrullination of histone proteins by

Objective Carbamylation, a nonenzymatic post‐translational modification, contributes to rheumatoid arthritis (RA) pathogenesis. Anti‐carbamylated protein antibodies (anti‐CarP) occur in around 50% of patients with RA and associate with greater joint damage. Neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) are a major source of carbamylated autoantigens. We sought
