agmatine deiminase family protein
Peptidyl-arginine deiminase (PAD) enzymes catalyse the deimination of the guanidino group from carboxy-terminal arginine residues of various peptides to produce ammonia. PAD from Porphyromonas gingivalis (PPAD) appears to be evolutionarily unrelated to mammalian PAD (Pfam:PF03068), which is a metalloenzyme. PPAD is thought to belong to the same superfamily as aminotransferase and arginine deiminase, and to form an alpha/beta propeller structure. This family has previously been named PPADH (Porphyromonas peptidyl-arginine deiminase homologues) [1]. The predicted catalytic residues in PPAD (Swiss:Q9RQJ2) are Asp130, Asp187, His236, Asp238 and Cys351 [1]. These are absolutely conserved with the exception of Asp187 which is absent in two family members. PPAD is also able to catalyse the deimination of free L-arginine, but has primarily peptidyl-arginine specificity. It may have a FMN cofactor [2]. [1]. 11504612.

agmatine/peptidylarginine deiminase
agmatine/peptidylarginine deiminase similar to Helicobacter pylori agmatine deiminase (HpAgD), a potential virulence factor which catalyzes the conversion of agmatine to N-carbamoyl putrescine (NCP) and ammonia
