Abstract excerpt
Peptidylarginine deiminases (PADIs) are post-translational modification enzymes that catalyze the conversion of protein-bound arginine residues into citrulline residues in the presence of calcium ions. Among PADIs, PADI4 was identified as a rheumatoid arthritis-susceptibility gene (Suzuki et al. in Nat Genet 34:395, 2003). We identified a total of 87 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in PADI1 and PADI3 gene...
