Porphyromonas gingivalis Peptidyl Arginine Deiminase: A Unique Bacterial PAD with Implications for Periodontal Disease and Rheumatoid Arthritis

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Protein Deimination in Human Health and Disease

Abstract

Recently, peptidyl arginine deiminase from Porphyromonas gingivalis (PPAD) has become a subject of an intense research. Despite catalyzing the reaction of citrullination (deimination) and being a member of the guanidino-group modifying superfamily of enzymes, PPAD and the mammalian peptidyl arginine deiminases (PAD/PADI) are phylogenetically unrelated proteins. The citrullination of host and bacterial proteins by PPAD has been implicated in the pathogenesis of periodontitis (PD) and postulated as the link between PD and rheumatoid arthritis (RA). In this chapter, we discuss the role of protein citrullination by PPAD in the pathogenesis of PD and RA.
