Molecular and structural basis of anti-DNA antibody specificity for pyrrolated proteins

Abstract Anti-DNA antibodies (Abs), serological hallmarks of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and markers for diagnosis and disease activity, show a specificity for non-nucleic acid molecules, such as N-pyrrolated proteins (pyrP) containing N ε-pyrrole-L-lysine (pyrK) residues. However, the detail...
