Antibodies hold the promise of exquisite specificity and adaptability, making them the ideal candidates for targeting complex membrane proteins. They can target specific conformations of a particular membrane protein and can be engineered into various formats. Generating specific and effective antibodies targeting these proteins is no easy task due to several factors.

It was shown that the unfolding of monomeric protein occurs through the formation of molten globule-like intermediate state. Polymorphism of hSAA amyloids was discovered to depend on the solution pH. At pH 8.5, rapid protein aggregation occurs, which leads to the formation of twisted short fibrils. Even a slight decrease of the pH to 7.8 results in delayed aggregation with the formation of long straight amyloids composed of laterally associated protofilaments.

It is involved in the development of several types of tumors, as well as other immunological illnesses, such as psoriasis, multiple sclerosis, or rheumatoid arthritis. PADI4 auto-citrullinates in several regions of its sequence, namely in correspondence of residues Arg205, Arg212, Arg218, and Arg383. We wanted to study whether the citrullinated moiety affects the conformation of nearby regions and its binding to intact PADI4. We designed two series of synthetic peptides comprising either the wild-type or the relative citrullinated versions of such regions – i.e., a first series of peptides comprising the first three arginines, and a second series comprising Arg383. We studied their conformational properties in isolation by using fluorescence, far-ultraviolet (UV) circular dichroism (CD), and 2D<img><sup>1</sup>H NMR. Furthermore, we characterized the binding of the wild-type and citrullinated peptides in the two series to the intact PADI4, by using isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC), fluorescence, and biolayer interferometry (BLI), as well as by molecular docking simulations. We observed that citrullination did not alter the local conformational propensities of the isolated peptides. Nevertheless, for all the peptides in the two series, citrullination slowed down the kinetic <em>k</em><sub>off</sub> rates of the binding reaction to PADI4, probably due to differences in electrostatic effects compared to the presence of arginine. The affinities of PADI4 for unmodified peptides were slightly larger than those of the corresponding citrullinated ones in the two series, but they were all within the same range, indicating that there were no relevant variations in the thermodynamics of binding due to sequence effects. These results highlight details of the self-citrullination of PADI4 and, more generally, of possible auto-catalytic mechanisms taking place in vivo for other citrullinating enzymes or, alternatively, in proteins undergoing citrullination passively.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":8979,"journal":{"name":"Biophysical chemistry","volume":"312 ","pages":"Article 107288"},"PeriodicalIF":3.3,"publicationDate":"2024-06-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0301462224001170/pdfft?md5=23633e3ad4eabeebf56c4c83eddd72bb&pid=1-s2.0-S0301462224001170-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141589566","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
