The presence of citrullinated adenosine deaminase (ADA) was reported in the synovial fluids of rheumatoid arthritis individuals. This work reports the effects of ADA citrullination on the formation/stabilization of ADA complex with dipeptidyl peptidase IV (DPPIV). The electrophoretic mobility of in vivo citrullinated ADA was diminished compared to the native one. The biosensor binding study demonstrated approximately four-fold lower affinity of both in vivo and in vitro citrullinated ADAs to DPPIV (KD = 161 ± 51.3 and 171 ± 52.2 nM, respectively) compared with wild ADA (KD = 38 ± 9.4 nM). These results were confirmed by examining the ADA interaction with DPPIV using size-exclusion chromatography and fluorescence anisotropy methods. The computational modeling of Arg142 → Cit142 modification in ADA showed a local structural rearrangement and a less favorable binding affinity to DPPIV. According to these observations, citrullinated ADA being a possible target triggering autoimmunity hinders also the formation of ADA-DPPIV complex, essential in immune system function.
