Nemmara V, Thompson P
Curr Top Microbiol Immunol . 2018 Sep; 420:233-251. PMID: 30203394
Protein arginine deiminases (PADs) catalyze the post-translational deimination of peptidyl arginine to form peptidyl citrulline. This modification is increased in multiple inflammatory diseases and in certain cancers. PADs regulate a...

Nemmara V, Tilvawala R, Salinger A, Miller L, Nguyen S, Weerapana E, et al.
ACS Chem Biol . 2018 Jul; 13(9):2663-2672. PMID: 30044909
Nicotinamide- N-methyltransferase (NNMT) catalyzes the irreversible methylation of nicotinamide (NAM) to form N-methyl nicotinamide using S-adenosyl methionine as a methyl donor. NNMT is implicated in several chronic disease conditions, including...

Tilvawala R, Nguyen S, Maurais A, Nemmara V, Nagar M, Salinger A, et al.
Cell Chem Biol . 2018 Apr; 25(6):691-704.e6. PMID: 29628436
Increased protein citrullination is linked to various diseases including rheumatoid arthritis (RA), lupus, and cancer. Citrullinated autoantigens, a hallmark of RA, are recognized by anti-citrullinated protein antibodies (ACPAs) which are...

Nemmara V, Subramanian V, Muth A, Mondal S, Salinger A, Maurais A, et al.
ACS Chem Biol . 2018 Jan; 13(3):712-722. PMID: 29341591
Citrullination is the post-translational hydrolysis of peptidyl-arginines to form peptidyl-citrulline, a reaction that is catalyzed by the protein arginine deiminases (PADs), a family of calcium-regulated enzymes. Aberrantly increased protein citrullination...

Nemmara V, Nicholas R, Pratt R
Biochemistry . 2016 Jul; 55(29):4065-76. PMID: 27420403
Escherichia coli PBP5 (penicillin-binding protein 5) is a dd-carboxypeptidase involved in bacterial cell wall maturation. Beyond the C-terminal d-alanyl-d-alanine moiety, PBP5, like the essential high-molecular mass PBPs, has little specificity...

Xiang D, Patskovsky Y, Nemmara V, Toro R, Almo S, Raushel F
Biochemistry . 2015 Apr; 54(18):2919-30. PMID: 25873441
Pmi1525, an enzyme of unknown function from Proteus mirabilis HI4320 and the amidohydrolase superfamily, was cloned, purified to homogeneity, and functionally characterized. The three-dimensional structure of Pmi1525 was determined with...

Fedorov A, Marti-Arbona R, Nemmara V, Hitchcock D, Fedorov E, Almo S, et al.
Biochemistry . 2015 Jan; 54(3):890-7. PMID: 25559274
N-Formimino-l-glutamate iminohydrolase (HutF), from Pseudomonas aeruginosa with a locus tag of Pa5106 ( gi|15600299 ), is a member of the amidohydrolase superfamily. This enzyme catalyzes the deamination of N-formimino-l-glutamate to...

Nemmara V, Adediran S, Dave K, Duez C, Pratt R
Biochemistry . 2013 Apr; 52(15):2627-37. PMID: 23560856
Bacterial dd-peptidases are the targets of the β-lactam antibiotics. The sharp increase in bacterial resistance toward these antibiotics in recent years has stimulated the search for non-β-lactam alternatives. The substrates...

Nemmara V, Dzhekieva L, Sarkar K, Adediran S, Duez C, Nicholas R, et al.
Biochemistry . 2011 Oct; 50(46):10091-101. PMID: 22029692
The bacterial DD-peptidases or penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs) catalyze the formation and regulation of cross-links in peptidoglycan biosynthesis. They are classified into two groups, the high-molecular mass (HMM) and low-molecular mass...
