Probing the Roles of Calcium-Binding Sites during the Folding of Human Peptidylarginine Deiminase 4

Abstract Our recent studies of peptidylarginine deiminase 4 (PAD4) demonstrate that its non-catalytic Ca2+-binding sites play a crucial role in the assembly of the correct geometry of the enzyme. Here, we examined the folding mechanism of PAD4 and the role of Ca2+ ions in the folding pathway. Multip...
