Protein arginine deiminases (PADs) are involved in a number of cellular pathways,
and they catalyze the transformation of peptidyl arginine residue into a
citrulline as part of post-translational modifications. To understand ligand
preferences, a group of probe molecules were investigated against PAD1, PAD2, and
PAD4. These probe molecules carried a well-known covalent modifier of the
catalytic cysteine residue, 2-chloroacetamidine moiety, which was tethered to an
?-amino acid via a carbon linker. The chain length for the linker varied from 0
to 4. Time-dependent assays indicated that 2-chloroacetamidine (2CA) with no
linker inhibited all PAD enzymes with a similar trend in the second-order rate
constants, although with poor affinity. Among the other three probe molecules,
compound 3 with a three-carbon linker exhibited the best second-order rate
constants for optimal ligand reactivity with the binding site. These analyses
provide insights into the relative patterns of covalent inactivation of PAD
isozymes and the design of novel inhibitors targeting PAD enzymes as potential
therapeutic targets.
