    Abstract

    Falcão et al. demonstrate that PAD2-mediated citrullination, the conversion of peptidylarginine into peptidylcitrulline, has two roles in oligodendrocyte cells. In the nucleus, PAD2 acts as a chromatin modifier contributing to efficient oligodendrocyte precursor cell differentiation, while in the cytoplasm PAD2 is required for proper oligodendrocyte myelination.
