Protein citrullination was introduced into animals by horizontal gene transfer from cyanobacteria
2020-06-15
Abstract excerpt
Protein post-translational modifications (PTMs) add an enormous amount of sophistication to biological systems but their origins are largely unexplored. Citrullination, a key regulatory mechanism in human physiology and pathophysiology, is particularly enigmatic in an evolutionary context. The citrullinating enzymes peptidylarginine deiminases (PADIs) are ubiquitous across vertebrates but absent from yeast, worms...
