Structural basis for DNA break recognition by ARTD2/PARP2
4 Oct 2018
Abstract excerpt
Human ARTD2 (or PARP2) is an ADP-ribosyltransferase, which is catalytically activated by binding to damaged DNA. ARTD2 subsequently ADP-ribosylates itself and other proteins, initiating a cascade of events leading to DNA repair. In contrast to ARTD1, the founding member of the enzyme family, ARTD2 does not have specialized zinc-fingers for detecting DNA damage. The domain organization of ARTD2 includes disordered...
