Deimination is catalyzed by a family of calcium binding enzymes, called peptidylarginine deiminases (PADs). Among these, the PAD4 isoform has been more extensively studied for its role in some autoimmune diseases. PAD4 is localized in the cytoplasm of monocytes, T and B cells, neutrophils, eosinophils and NK cells and can move to the nucleus upon cell activation.PAD4 plays a physiological role in gene regulation via citrullination of histones.In rheumatoid arthritis (RA), PAD4 contributes to the generation of ACPA specific substrates and is itself a target of autoantibodies: alleles of the PAD14 gene confer susceptibility to RA in Asians but not in Caucasians. In multiple sclerosis, extensive deimination of brain proteins is observed in active lesions, but no role for the PAD14 gene in susceptibility to MS has been so far described. (C) 2009 Elsevier B.V.
