Human PAD4 Regulates Histone Arginine Methylation Levels via Demethylimination

Abstract: Methylation of arginine (Arg) and lysine residues in histones has been correlated with epigenetic forms of gene regulation. Although histone methyltransferases are known, enzymes that demethylate histones have not been identified. Here, we demonstrate that human peptidylarginine deiminase 4 (PAD4) regulates histone Arg methylation by converting methyl-Arg to citrulline and releasing methylamine. PAD4 targets multiple sites in histones H3 and H4, including those sites methylated by coactivators CARM1 (H3 Arg17)… Show more

“…H4 has been shown to be predominantly dimethylated at K20 and acetylated at K16, K12, K8 and K5 in human cells [47][48][49][50]. All the masses observed for H4 isoforms were 42 Da higher than their theoretical masses, consistent with N-terminal acetylation of H4 [51]. The most abundant species observed at 11,306 Da corresponded in mass with the dimethylation (DiMe) and N-terminal acetylation (N-Ac) of H4.…”

“…En 2004, deux équipes indépendantes démontraient sa capacité à modifier en citrullines les arginines mono-méthylées des histones [29,30]. En coordination avec d'autres modifications post-traductionnelles comme la méthylation des arginines des histones nucléosomales, la désimination joue donc aussi un rôle dans l'information épigénétique, participant à la plasticité du code « histone » (pour revue voir [31]) et donc au contrôle de l'expression génique.…”
