Abstract excerpt
Poly(ADP-ribosyl)ation is a posttranslational modification of nuclear proteins catalyzed by poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP, EC 2.4.2.30) with NAD(+) serving as substrate. PARP is activated upon binding of its aminoterminal DNA-binding domain to DNA double or single strand breaks, and is thought to play a role in cellular responses to genotoxic stress. It is known that treatment of cells with high doses of...
