Facts about Protein-arginine deiminase type-4.
Acts as a key regulator of stem cell maintenance by mediating citrullination of histone H1: citrullination of'Arg- 54' of histone H1 (H1R54ci) results in H1 displacement from chromatin and international chromatin decondensation, thereby promoting pluripotency and stem cell maintenance. Promotes profound chromatin decondensation during the innate immune response to infection in neutrophils by mediating formation of H1R54ci.
