Silencing of PARP2 Blocks Autophagic Degradation
Poly(ADP-Ribose) polymerases (PARPs) are enzymes that metabolize NAD+. PARP1 and PARP10 were previously implicated in the regulation of autophagy. Here we showed that cytosolic electron-dense particles appear in the cytoplasm of C2C12 myoblasts in which ...

Two papers in this issue of Cell describe two roles of poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) in modulating chromatin structure: as a structural component replacing linker histone (Kim et al., 2004) and as a constituent of a corepressor complex poised to dismiss repression upon receipt of an activating signal (Ju et al., 2004).

The anti-hyperglycemic drug, Metformin, is effective in treating early stages of diabetes and has been associated with a 37% decrease in cancer incidence. While the precise mechanisms for the anti-cancer effects of Metformin remain to be elucidated, this

New Insights for nicotinamide: Metabolic disease, autophagy, and mTOR
Metabolic disorders, such as diabetes mellitus (DM), are increasingly becoming significant risk factors for the health of the global population and consume substantial portions of the gross domestic product of all nations. Although conventional therapies

Therapeutic Role of Synthetic Lethality in ARID1A-Deficient Malignancies [PDF]
AT-rich interaction domain 1A (ARID1A), a mammalian switch/sucrose nonfermenting complex subunit, modulates several cellular processes by regulating chromatin accessibility.

Drosophila melanogaster as a model for understanding polyADP-ribosylation
PolyADP-ribosylation is a post-translational modification which is involved in various physiological processes including maintenance of genome stability through DNA repair, regulation of transcription, and development.

PARP inhibitors: the race is on [PDF]
Since the seminal publications in 2005 that demonstrated the exquisite sensitivity of BRCA1 and BRCA2 (BRCA1/2) mutant cell lines and xenografts to poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) inhibition (Bryant et al, 2005; Farmer et al, 2005), the race has been on to exploit single-agent PARP inhibitors for clinical use through the concept of tumour-specific ...
