General description

Peptidyl arginine deiminase is the enzyme that converts arginine into citrulline.

Application

Peptidyl arginine deiminase has been used in a study that assessed promising novel biomarkers for the early diagnosis of rheumatoid arthritis. It has also been used in a study to investigate the autopathogenic correlation of periodontitis and rheumatoid arthritis.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Calcium is required for peptidylarginine deiminase activity in vitro.

Unit Definition

One unit will produce 1 μmole of N-α-benzoylcitrulline ethyl ester from BAEE per hr at 55 °C at pH 7.2.

Physical form

Solution in 20 mM Tris-HCl, pH 7.4, containing 10 mM 2-mercaptoethanol, 1 mM EDTA and 10% glycerol

Protein arginin deaminase 4 (PAD4) is a calcium dependent enzyme which catalyses the conversion of peptidyl-arginine into peptidyl-citrulline and is implicated in several diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and cancer. Herein we report the discovery of novel small-molecule, non

Recently, a number of studies have pointed to a potential relationship between periodontitis (PO) and RA and vice versa. Both diseases are characterized by chronic inflammation, osseous destruction, damage of the supporting soft tissues, similar cellular immune responses and common

Autoantibodies to citrullinated proteins are specific for rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and recognize epitopes centered by citrulline, a posttranslationally modified form of arginine. Peptidyl arginine deiminase type 4 (PAD-4), the enzyme that converts arginine into citrulline, is in itself a target

Citrullination, a posttranslational modification (PTM) recently discovered on inflammatory chemokines such as interleukin-8 (IL-8/CXCL8) and interferon-γ-inducible protein-10 (IP-10/CXCL10), seriously influences their biological activity. Citrullination or the deimination of arginine to citrulline is dependent on peptidylarginine deiminases (PADs) and has been

Citrullination is the post-translational conversion of an arginine residue within a protein to the non-coded amino acid citrulline. This modification leads to the loss of a positive charge and reduction in hydrogen-bonding ability. It is carried out by a small
