(ADP-ribose)n participates in DNA excision repair

Abstract: Chromatin proteins are covalently modified by at least five different processes; in no case has the precise physiological function been established. One of these post-synthetic, covalent modifications is effected by the enzyme poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase, which uses the coenzyme NAD+ to ADP-ribosylate chromatin proteins. The modification consists largely of mono(ADP-ribose), but long, homopolymer chains of (ADP-ribose) are also present. Various physiological functions have been suggested for (ADP-ribose)n. Her… Show more

“…This uncertainty is even greater for NAM, since it is both a precursor of NAD +, the ADPRT substrate, and an inhibitor of ADPRT activity. Therefore, both NAM starvation and addition have been used to inhibit the enzyme activity [31].…”

“…PCNA, one of the p53 downstream target gene products [40], is an essential component of DNA repair and replication machinery [43]. The induction of protein modification via ADP-ribosylation has also been recognized as an important event in DNA repair [44,45]. Cells exposed to γ-rays (6 Gy) exhibited an increased expression of ADP-ribosylated and phosphorylated species of NPM/B23, 4 h after exposure [46].…”

“…The enzyme is totally dependent on DNA [5] and is markedly stimulated by fragmentation of the DNA [6][7][8][9]. Evidence has accumulated over the last 5 years that (ADP-ribose)n participates in the cellular recovery from DNA damage [10,11 ]. Both radiation and alkylating agents lower the cellular NAD content [6,[12][13][14] and thereby interfere with glycolysis.…”

“…Both radiation and alkylating agents lower the cellular NAD content [6,[12][13][14] and thereby interfere with glycolysis. This drop in cellular NAD is mediated by nuclear ADP-ribosyl transferase [10,12]. Poly~ADP-ribose) in intact cells is increased after DNA damage [15].…”
