Protein Deimination in Human Health and Disease

Abstract

Peptidylarginine deiminases (PADs) are a group of posttranslational modification enzymes that citrullinate (deiminate) protein arginine residues in a calcium ion-dependent manner. Enzymatic citrullination abolishes the positive charges of native protein molecules, inevitably causing significant alterations in their structure and functions. Protein citrullination is important for the formation of the cornified layer of the skin that covers the human body. Despite this beneficial function, protein citrullination can also be detrimental as its accumulation in the brain is a possible cause of Alzheimer’s disease (AD). In this chapter, we introduce PADs and their protein citrullination function now considered critical for advancing research on aging and neurodegenerative disorders, especially AD.
