The Induction of microRNA-16 in Colon Cancer Cells by Protein Arginine Deiminase Inhibition Causes a p53-Dependent Cell Cycle Arrest
7 Jan 2013
Abstract excerpt
Protein Arginine Deiminases (PADs) catalyze the post-translational conversion of peptidyl-Arginine to peptidyl-Citrulline in a calcium-dependent, irreversible reaction. Evidence is emerging that PADs play a role in carcinogenesis. To determine the cancer-associated functional implications of PADs, we designed a small molecule PAD inhibitor (called Chor-amidine or Cl-amidine), and tested the impact of this drug on...
