Molecular function

Exact synonym

H3-R26 citrullination, histone H3-R26 arginine deiminase activity, histone-arginine deiminase activity (H3-R26 specific)

Description

Catalysis of the reaction: H2O + histone H3 L-arginyl (position 26)= histone H3 L-citrullyl (position 26) + NH4+, resulting in histone H3 citrullination at position 26.

Comment

The substrate for histone deiminase may be methyl-arginine, rather than arginine (see PMID:35197210 and PMID:16567635).
