PADI4 is one of the human isoforms of a family of enzymes implicated in the conversion of arginine to citrulline. MDM2 is an E3 ubiquitin ligase which is crucial for down‐regulation of degradation of the tumor suppressor gene p53. Given the relationship between both PADI4 and MDM2 with p53‐signaling pathways, we hypothesized they may interact directly, and this interaction could be relevant in the context of cancer. Here, we showed their association in the nucleus and cytosol in several cancer cell lines. Furthermore, binding was hampered in the presence of GSK484, an enzymatic PADI4 inhibitor, suggesting that MDM2 could bind to the active site of PADI4, as confirmed by in silico experiments. In vitro and in silico studies showed that the isolated N‐terminal region of MDM2, N‐MDM2, interacted with PADI4, and residues Thr26, Val28, Phe91 and Lys98 were more affected by the presence of the enzyme. Moreover, the dissociation constant between N‐MDM2 and PADI4 was comparable to the IC50 of GSK484 from in cellulo experiments. The interaction between MDM2 and PADI4 might imply MDM2 citrullination, with potential therapeutic relevance for improving cancer treatment, due to the generation of new antigens.
