? | |
peptidylarginine deiminase 4 + H2O | PAD4, is cleaved by GrB at a single site, aspartic acid 388 (D388). Dynamic changes occur in the PAD4 structure induced by GrB cleavage. Recombinant N-terminal 6xHis tagged PAD4 (NP_036519) is expressed and purified from Escherichia coli BL21(DE3)pLysS competent cells | Homo sapiens | PAD4 peptides | - |

physiological function | proteolysis by granzyme B (GrB) enhances presentation of autoantigenic peptidylarginine deiminase 4 epitopes in rheumatoid arthritis. Peptidylarginine deiminase 4 (PAD4) is a frequent target of autoantibodies in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and a substrate for GrB. RA is strongly associated with specific MHC class II alleles. Proteolysis of PAD4 by GrB induced discrete structural changes in PAD4 that promoted enhanced presentation of several immunogenic peptides capable of stimulating PAD4-specific CD4+ T cells from patients with RA. Proteolysis of autoantigens can alter normal MHC class II antigen processing and has been implicated in the induction of autoimmune diseases | Homo sapiens |
