Poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase-1 (PARP-1) is a nuclear enzyme that catalyzes the poly(ADP-ribosyl)ation of target proteins in response to DNA damage and has been proposed to play a role in DNA repair, recombination, transcription, cell death, cell proliferation, as well as in stabilization of the genome. We have recently shown that PARP-1 deficiency causes mammary tumorigenesis in mice. In the present study, we...
