Protein-arginine deiminase

Protein-arginine deiminase

In enzymology, a protein-arginine deiminase (EC number|3.5.3.15) is an enzyme that catalyzes a form of post translational modification called arginine de-imination or citrullination:

:protein L-arginine + H2O ightleftharpoons protein L-citrulline + NH3

Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are protein L-arginine and H2O, whereas its two products are protein L-citrulline and NH3.

This enzyme belongs to the family of hydrolases, those acting on carbon-nitrogen bonds other than peptide bonds, specifically in linear amidines. The systematic name of this enzyme class is protein-L-arginine iminohydrolase. This enzyme is also called peptidylarginine deiminase.

tructural studies

As of late 2007, 7 structures have been solved for this class of enzymes, with PDB accession codes PDB link|1WD8, PDB link|1WD9, PDB link|1WDA, PDB link|2DEW, PDB link|2DEX, PDB link|2DEY, and PDB link|2DW5.
