Protein citrullination is just one of more than 200 known PTMs. This modification, catalyzed by the protein arginine deiminases (PADs 1–4 and PAD6 in humans), converts the positively charged guanidinium group of an arginine residue into a neutral ureido-group. Given the strong links between dysregulated PAD activity and human disease, we initiated a program to develop PAD inhibitors as potential therapeutics for these and other diseases in which the PADs are thought to play a role. Streptonigrin which possesses both anti-tumor and anti-bacterial activity was later identified as a highly potent PAD4 inhibitor. In an effort to understand why streptonigrin is such a potent and selective PAD4 inhibitor, we explored its structure–activity relationships by examining the inhibitory effects of several analogues that mimic the A, B, C, and/or D rings of streptonigrin. We report the identification of the 7-amino-quinoline-5,8-dione core of streptonigrin as a highly potent pharmacophore that acts as a pan-PAD inhibitor. 相似文献

Peptidylarginine deiminase (PAD) enzymes catalyze the conversion of arginine residues in proteins to citrulline residues. Citrulline is a non-standard amino acid that is not incorporated in proteins during translation, but can be generated post-translationally by the PAD enzymes. Although the existence of citrulline residues in proteins has been known for a long time, only a few proteins have been reported to contain this amino acid under normal conditions. These include the nuclear histones, which also contain a wide variety of other post-translational modifications, as for instance methylation of arginine residues. It has been suggested that citrullination and methylation of arginine residues are competing processes and that PAD enzymes might "reverse" the methylation of arginine residues by converting monomethylated arginine into citrulline. However, conflicting data have been reported on the capacity of PADs to citrullinate monomethylated peptidylarginine. Using synthetic peptides that contain either arginine or methylated arginine residues, we show that the human PAD2, PAD3 and PAD4 enzymes and PAD enzyme present in several mouse tissues in vitro can only convert non-methylated peptidylarginine into peptidylcitrulline and that hPAD6 does not show any deiminating activity at all. A comparison of bovine histones either treated or untreated with PAD by amino acid analysis also supported the interference of deimination by arginine methylation. Taken together, these data indicate that it is unlikely that methyl groups at the guanidino position of peptidylarginine can be removed by peptidylarginine deiminases, which has important implications for the recently reported role of these enzymes in gene regulation. 相似文献

Peptidyl arginine deiminases (PADs) catalyze the post-translational deimination of arginine residues to citrulline residues. Aberrant levels of PAD activity are associated with various diseases, such as rheumatoid arthritis, Alzheimer’s disease, and multiple sclerosis, so there is a need for simple and convenient high-throughput screening systems to discover PAD inhibitors as candidate therapeutic agents. Here, we report a highly sensitive off/on-type fluorescence probe for PAD activity based on the donor-excited photoinduced electron transfer (d-PeT) mechanism, utilizing the specific cycloaddition reaction between the benzil group of the probe and the ureido group of the PAD product, citrulline, under acidic conditions. We synthesized and functionally evaluated a series of probes bearing substituents on the benzil phenyl group, and found that 4MEBz-FluME could successfully detect citrulline with higher sensitivity and broader dynamic range than our previously reported fluorescence probe, FGME. Moreover, we succeeded in establishing multiple assay systems for PAD subtypes activities, including PAD2 and PAD4, with 4MeBz-FluME thanks to its high sensitivity. We expect that our fluorescence probes will become a powerful tool for discovering PAD inhibitors of several subtypes. Thus, it should be suitable for high-throughput screening of chemical libraries for inhibitors of PADs. 相似文献

Peptidylarginine deiminases (PADs) convert arginine within a peptide (peptidylarginine) into peptidylcitrulline. Citrullination
by human PADs is important in normal physiology and inflammation. Porphyromonas gingivalis, a major pathogen in periodontitis, is the only prokaryote described to possess PAD. P. gingivalis infection may generate citrullinated peptides, which trigger anti-citrullinated peptide antibodies. In susceptible individuals,
host protein citrullination by human PADs in the joint probably perpetuates antibody formation, paving the way for the development
of chronic arthritis. Blockades of bacterial and human PADs may act as powerful novel therapies by inhibiting the generation
of the antigens that trigger and sustain autoimmunity in rheumatoid arthritis. 相似文献

PADs (peptidylarginine deiminases) are calcium-dependent enzymes that change protein-bound arginine to citrulline (citrullination/deimination) affecting protein conformation and function. PAD up-regulation following chick spinal cord injury has been linked to extensive tissue damage and loss of regenerative capability. Having found that human neural stem cells (hNSCs) expressed PAD2 and PAD3, we studied PAD function in these cells and investigated PAD3 as a potential target for neuroprotection by mimicking calcium-induced secondary injury responses. We show that PAD3, rather than PAD2 is a modulator of cell growth/death and that PAD activity is not associated with caspase-3-dependent cell death, but is required for AIF (apoptosis inducing factor)-mediated apoptosis. PAD inhibition prevents association of PAD3 with AIF and AIF cleavage required for its translocation to the nucleus. Finally, PAD inhibition also hinders calcium-induced cytoskeleton disassembly and association of PAD3 with vimentin, that we show to be associated also with AIF; together this suggests that PAD-dependent cytoskeleton disassembly may play a role in AIF translocation to the nucleus. This is the first study highlighting a role of PAD activity in balancing hNSC survival/death, identifying PAD3 as an important upstream regulator of calcium-induced apoptosis, which could be targeted to reduce neural loss, and shedding light on the mechanisms involved. 相似文献

Peptidyl arginine deiminases (PADs) catalyze the post-translational deimination of peptidyl arginine residues to form citrulline residues. Aberrant citrullination of histones by one of the PAD isozymes, PAD4, is associated with various diseases, including rheumatoid arthritis, so high-throughput screening systems are needed to identify PAD4 inhibitors as chemical tools to investigate the role of PAD4, and as candidate therapeutic agents. Here, we utilized the addition-cyclization reaction between phenylglyoxal and citrulline under acidic conditions to design turn-on fluorescent probes for citrulline based on the donor-excited photoinduced electron transfer (d-PeT) mechanism. Among several derivatives of phenylglyoxal bearing a fluorescent moiety, we found that FGME enabled detection of citrulline without a neutralization process, and we used it to establish a simple methodology for turn-on fluorescence detection of citrulline. 相似文献

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 PAD enzyme was reported to influence gene expression levels. These findings greatly increase the interest in the PAD enzymes and their activities. A few procedures to monitor PAD activity in biological samples have been described previously. However, these assays either have low sensitivity or are rather laborious. Here we describe a reliable and reproducible method for the determination of PAD activity in both purified and crude samples. The method is based on the quantification of PAD-dependent citrullination of peptides, immobilized in microtiter plates, using antibodies that are exclusively reactive with the reaction product(s). Our results demonstrate that this antibody-based assay for PAD activity, called ABAP, is very sensitive and can be applied to monitor PAD activity in biological samples. 相似文献

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 linked to autoimmune diseases such as multiple sclerosis (MS) and rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Chemokines are to date the first identified PAD substrates with receptor-mediated biological activity. We investigated whether cytokines that play a crucial role in RA, like interleukin-1β (IL-1β) and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α), may be citrullinated by PAD and whether such a PTM influences the biological activity of these cytokines. IL-1β and TNF-α were first incubated with PAD in vitro and the occurrence of citrullination was examined by Edman degradation and a recently developed detection method for citrullinated proteins. Both techniques confirmed that human TNF-α, but not IL-1β, was citrullinated by PAD. Citrullination of TNF-α reduced its potency to stimulate chemokine production in vitro on human primary fibroblasts. Concentrations of the inflammatory chemokines CXCL8, CXCL10 and monocyte chemotactic protein-1 (MCP-1/CCL2) were significantly lower in supernatants of fibroblasts induced with citrullinated TNF-α compared to unmodified TNF-α. However, upon citrullination TNF-α retained its capacity to induce apoptosis/necrosis of mononuclear cells, its binding potency to Infliximab and its ability to recruit neutrophils to the peritoneal cavity of mice. 相似文献

Peptidylarginine deiminases (PADs) post-translationally convert arginine into neutral citrulline residues. Our past work shows that PADs are expressed in the canine and murine mammary glands; however, the mechanisms regulating PAD expression and the function of citrullination in the normal mammary gland are unclear. Therefore, the first objective herein was to investigate regulation of PAD expression in mammary epithelial cells. We first examined PAD levels in CID-9 cells, which were derived from the mammary gland of mid-pregnant mice. PAD3 expression is significantly higher than all other PAD isoforms and mediates protein citrullination in CID-9 cells. We next hypothesized that prolactin regulates PAD3 expression. To test this, CID-9 cells were stimulated with 5 μg/mL of prolactin for 48 hours which significantly increases PAD3 mRNA and protein expression. Use of a JAK2 inhibitor and a dominant negative (DN)-STAT5 adenovirus indicate that prolactin stimulation of PAD3 expression is mediated by the JAK2/STAT5 signaling pathway in CID-9 cells. In addition, the human PAD3 gene promoter is prolactin responsive in CID-9 cells. Our second objective was to investigate the expression and activity of PAD3 in the lactating mouse mammary gland. PAD3 expression in the mammary gland is highest on lactation day 9 and coincident with citrullinated proteins such as histones. Use of the PAD3 specific inhibitor, Cl4-amidine, indicates that PAD3, in part, can citrullinate proteins in L9 mammary glands. Collectively, our results show that upregulation of PAD3 is mediated by prolactin induction of the JAK2/STAT5 signaling pathway, and that PAD3 appears to citrullinate proteins during lactation. 相似文献

Introduction
The aim of this study was to explore the presence and localization of myocardial citrullination in samples from rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients compared to rheumatic and non-rheumatic disease control groups.Methods
Archived myocardial samples obtained during autopsy from 1995 to 2009 were assembled into four groups: RA; scleroderma; fatal myocarditis; and non-rheumatic disease controls. Samples were examined by immunohistochemistry (IHC) for the presence and localization of citrullination and peptidyl arginine deiminase enzymes (PADs) by a single cardiovascular pathologist blinded to disease group and clinical characteristics.Results
Myocardial samples from seventeen RA patients were compared with those from fourteen controls, five fatal myocarditis patients, and ten scleroderma patients. Strong citrullination staining was detected exclusively in the myocardial interstitium in each of the groups. However, average and peak anti-citrulline staining was 59% and 44% higher, respectively, for the RA group compared to the combined non-RA groups (P < 0.05 for both comparisons). Myocardial fibrosis did not differ between the groups. In contrast to citrullination, PADs 1 to 3 and 6 were detected in cardiomyocytes (primarily PADs 1 and 3), resident inflammatory cells (primarily PADs 2 and 4), and, to a smaller extent, in endothelial cells and vascular smooth muscle cells. PAD staining did not co-localize with anti-citrulline staining in the interstitium and did not vary by disease state.Conclusions
Staining for citrullination was higher in the myocardial interstitium of RA compared to other disease states, a finding that could link autoimmunity to the known increase in myocardial dysfunction and heart failure in RA. 相似文献12.
Nuclear localization of peptidylarginine deiminase V and histone deimination in granulocytes 总被引:7,自引:0,他引:7
Peptidylarginine deiminase (PAD) deiminates arginine residues in proteins to citrulline residues Ca(2+) dependently. There are four types of PADs, I, II, III, and V, in humans. We studied the subcellular distribution of PAD V in HL-60 granulocytes and peripheral blood granulocytes. Expression of green fluorescent protein-tagged PADs in HeLa cells revealed that PAD V is localized in the nucleus, whereas PAD I, II, and III are localized in the cytoplasm. PAD V deletion mutants indicated that the sequence residues 45-74 have a nuclear localization signal (NLS). A sequence feature of this NLS is a three-lysine residue cluster preceded by a proline residue and is not found in the three other PADs. Substitution of the lysine cluster by an alanine cluster abrogated the nuclear import activity. These results suggested that the NLS is a classical monopartite NLS. HL-60 granulocytes, neutrophils, and eosinophils stained with antibody specific for PAD V exhibited distinct positive signals in the nucleus. Subcellular fractionation of HL-60 granulocytes also showed the nuclear localization of the enzyme. When neutrophils were stimulated with calcium ionophore, protein deimination occurred in the nucleus. The major deiminated proteins were identified as histones H2A, H3, and H4. The implication of PAD V in histone modifications is discussed. 相似文献

Peptidylarginine deiminases (PADs) are posttranslational modification enzymes that convert protein arginine to citrulline residues in a calcium ion-dependent manner. Rodents have four isoforms of PAD (types I, II, III, and IV), each of which is distinct in substrate and tissue specificity. In fact, the only tissue in which all four PAD mRNAs have been detected is the epidermis. In this study, we found PAD activity in HSC-1 human cutaneous squamous carcinoma cells in vitro, and this activity increased during cultivation. Using a homology-based strategy, we cloned a full-length cDNA encoding human PAD type II. The cDNA was 2348 bp long and encoded a 665-amino-acid sequence with a predicted molecular mass of 75 kDa. The predicted protein shared 93% identity with the rat and mouse PAD type II sequence. Alignment of the amino acid sequences from both species revealed notable conservation in the C-terminal region, suggesting the presence of a functional region such as an enzyme catalytic site and/or a calcium-binding domain. Gene organization analysis established that human PAD type II on chromosome 1p35.2-p35.21 spanned more than 50 kb and contained 16 exons and 15 introns. A recombinant PAD protein subsequently produced in Escherichia coli proved to be enzymatically active, with substrate specificities similar to those of the rat PAD type II. In an immunohistochemical study of human skin, the type II enzyme was expressed by all the living epidermal layers, suggesting that PAD type II is functionally important during terminal differentiation of epidermal keratinocytes. 相似文献

Citrullination is a post-translational modification (PTM) that converts peptidyl-arginine into peptidyl-citrulline; citrullination is catalyzed by the protein arginine deiminases (PADs). This PTM is associated with several physiological processes, including the epigenetic regulation of gene expression, neutrophil extracellular trap formation, and DNA-damage induced apoptosis. Notably, aberrant protein citrullination is relevant to several autoimmune and neurodegenerative diseases and certain forms of cancer. As such, the PADs are promising therapeutic targets. In this review, we discuss recent advances in the development of PAD inhibitors and activity-based probes, the development and use of citrulline-specific probes in chemoproteomic applications, and methods to site-specifically incorporate citrulline into proteins. 相似文献

Peptidylarginine deiminases (PADs) convert the arginine residues in proteins into citrulline residues in a Ca2+-dependent manner. We previously showed that a bilateral injection of ibotenic acid into the rat nucleus basalis magnocellularis
elevated the PAD2 activity in the hippocampus and striatum. In this study, we examined whether repeated intracerebroventricular
infusions of soluble Aβ25–35 would affect the PAD2 expression in any regions of the rat brain. We also assessed the protective
effect of memantine on Aβ-induced PAD2 alterations. The infusion of Aβ25–35 increased the activity and protein level of PAD2 in the hippocampus, and co-treatment with memantine suppressed these changes.
An immunohistochemical analysis showed that an increased level of PAD2 was coincident with GFAP-positive astrocytes and CD11b-positive
microglia. In addition, immunofluoresecence staining revealed that citrullinepostive immunoreactivity coincided with the occurrence
of GFAP-positive astrocytes. Co-treatment with memantine reversed the activation of the astrocytes and microglia, thus attenuating
the PAD2 increment. These biochemical and immunohistochemical results suggest that PAD2 might play an important role in the
pathology of early Alzheimer’s disease, and may correlate with the changes in glial cells that are recovered by memantine
treatment. 相似文献

Protein deiminases: new players in the developmentally regulated loss of neural regenerative ability
Lange S Gögel S Leung KY Vernay B Nicholas AP Causey CP Thompson PR Greene ND Ferretti P 《Developmental biology》2011,(2):205-214
Spinal cord regenerative ability is lost with development, but the mechanisms underlying this loss are still poorly understood. In chick embryos, effective regeneration does not occur after E13, when spinal cord injury induces extensive apoptotic response and tissue damage. As initial experiments showed that treatment with a calcium chelator after spinal cord injury reduced apoptosis and cavitation, we hypothesized that developmentally regulated mediators of calcium-dependent processes in secondary injury response may contribute to loss of regenerative ability. To this purpose we screened for such changes in chick spinal cords at stages of development permissive (E11) and non-permissive (E15) for regeneration. Among the developmentally regulated calcium-dependent proteins identified was PAD3, a member of the peptidylarginine deiminase (PAD) enzyme family that converts protein arginine residues to citrulline, a process known as deimination or citrullination. This post-translational modification has not been previously associated with response to injury. Following injury, PAD3 up-regulation was greater in spinal cords injured at E15 than at E11. Consistent with these differences in gene expression, deimination was more extensive at the non-regenerating stage, E15, both in the gray and white matter. As deimination paralleled the extent of apoptosis, we investigated the effect of blocking PAD activity on cell death and deiminated-histone 3, one of the PAD targets we identified by mass-spectrometry analysis of spinal cord deiminated proteins. Treatment with the PAD inhibitor, Cl-amidine, reduced the abundance of deiminated-histone 3, consistent with inhibition of PAD activity, and significantly reduced apoptosis and tissue loss following injury at E15. Altogether, our findings identify PADs and deimination as developmentally regulated modulators of secondary injury response, and suggest that PADs might be valuable therapeutic targets for spinal cord injury. 相似文献
