Poly(ADP-ribose) Polymerase Null Mouse Cells Synthesize ADP-ribose Polymers [PDF]
Poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) (EC 2.4.2.30), the only enzyme known to synthesize ADP-ribose polymers from NAD+, is activated in response to DNA strand breaks and functions in the maintenance of genomic integrity. Mice homozygous for a disrupted gene encoding PARP are viable but have severe sensitivity to gamma-radiation and alkylating agents.

Engineering Af1521 improves ADP-ribose binding and identification of ADP-ribosylated proteins
ADP-ribose binding macro domains facilitate the enrichment and detection of cellular ADP-ribosylation. Here, the authors generate an engineered macro domain with increased ADP-ribose affinity, improving the identification of ADP-ribosylated proteins by ...

Structure, function and inhibition of poly(ADP-ribose)polymerase, member 14 (PARP14) [PDF]
Poly(ADP-ribose)polymerase, member 14 (PARP14, alternatively named ARTD8, BAL2, and COAST6) is an intracellular mono(ADP-ribosyl) transferase. PARP14 transfers a negatively charged ADP-ribose unit from a donor NAD+ molecule onto a target protein, post ...

Poly(ADP-Ribose) Links the DNA Damage Response and Biomineralization
Summary: Biomineralization of the extracellular matrix is an essential, regulated process. Inappropriate mineralization of bone and the vasculature has devastating effects on patient health, yet an integrated understanding of the chemical and cell ...

Visualization of poly(ADP-ribose) bound to PARG reveals inherent balance between exo- and endo-glycohydrolase activities [PDF]
Poly-ADP-ribosylation is a post-translational modification that regulates processes involved in genome stability. Breakdown of the poly(ADP-ribose) (PAR) polymer is catalysed by poly(ADP-ribose) glycohydrolase (PARG), whose endo-glycohydrolase activity ...

PARP-3 and APLF function together to accelerate nonhomologous end joining [PDF]
PARP-3 is a member of the ADP-ribosyl transferase superfamily of unknown function. We show that PARP-3 is stimulated by DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) in vitro and functions in the same pathway as the poly (ADP-ribose)-binding protein APLF to accelerate

The potential role and application of PARP inhibitors in cancer treatment [PDF]
Background: Since many anti-cancer agents act by inflicting DNA damage on tumour cells, there is increasing interest in the use of inhibitors of DNA repair to increase the cytotoxicity of these agents.

Inhibiting poly(ADP-ribosylation) improves axon regeneration
The ability of a neuron to regenerate its axon after injury depends in part on its intrinsic regenerative potential. Here, we identify novel intrinsic regulators of axon regeneration: poly(ADP-ribose) glycohodrolases (PARGs) and poly(ADP-ribose ...

Selective down-regulation of nuclear poly(ADP-ribose) glycohydrolase. [PDF]
The formation of ADP-ribose polymers on target proteins by poly(ADP-ribose) polymerases serves a variety of cell signaling functions. In addition, extensive activation of poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase-1 (PARP-1) is a dominant cause of cell death in ...

Poly(ADP-ribose) and cancer research [PDF]
Carcinogenesis is a multistep process initiated by DNA damage, gene mutation, gene rearrangment and gene translocation, and ending with phenotypic transformation to cancer cells. Seventeen years ago, a unique enzymatic reaction was found. This reaction was catalyzed by a nuclear enzyme which polymerizes ADP-ribose residues of /3-NAD + to make poly(ADP ...
