- "It has been shown that PPAD is able to citrullinate bacterial as well as host peptides such as fibrinogen and α-enolase."
- "PADs do not typically citrullinate total arginines found in the amino acid sequence of a protein, but certain arginines are more susceptible to citrullination.[…]Likewise, PAD2 also citrullinates actin and myelin basic protein in the CNS, while PAD4 can citrullinate substrates like nucleophosmin, nuclear lamin C, and p21 (Lamensa and Moscarello 1993; Hagiwara et al. 2002; Tanikawa et al. 2012; Li et al. 2008)."
- "Furthermore, PPAD in contrast to human PAD is capable of citrullinating C-terminal arginine residues, which are generated by another Pg.-derived enzyme, arginine specific gingipain (Rgp) protease (81)."
