Rheumatoid arthritis-associated peptidylarginine deiminase 4 haplotype citrullinates human immunodeficiency virus-pol and confers antiviral activity

Peptidylarginine deiminase 4 (PADI4)-mediated citrullination modulates immune responses and drives autoantibody formation in rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Two common haplotypes, defined by four exonic SNPs ( PADI4_89 , 90 , 92 , and 104 ), have been described, with haplotype 2 (the...
