TLDR
The molecular mechanisms and organization of the DNA-repair pathways that remove single-strand breaks are reviewed and the connection between defects in these pathways and hereditary neurodegenerative disease are discussed.Abstract:
Hereditary defects in the repair of DNA damage are implicated in a variety of diseases, many of which are typified by neurological dysfunction and/or increased genetic instability and cancer. Of the different types of DNA damage that arise in cells, single-strand breaks (SSBs) are the most common, arising at a frequency of tens of thousands per cell per day from direct attack by intracellular metabolites and from spontaneous DNA decay. Here, the molecular mechanisms and organization of the DNA-repair pathways that remove SSBs are reviewed and the connection between defects in these pathways and hereditary neurodegenerative disease are discussed.read more

Poly(adp-ribosyl)ation reactions in the regulation of nuclear functions
TL;DR: The total dependence of poly(ADP-ribose) synthesis on DNA strand breaks strongly suggests that this post-translational modification is involved in the metabolism of nucleic acids, and the presence of PARP in these multiprotein complexes clearly supports an important role for poly(ADE-ribosyl)ation reactions in DNA transactions.

The PARP superfamily.
TL;DR: This review summarizes the present knowledge of this emerging superfamily of Poly(ADP‐ribose) polymerases, which might ultimately improve pharmacological strategies to enhance both antitumor efficacy and the treatment of a number of inflammatory and neurodegenerative disorders.

(ADP-ribose)n participates in DNA excision repair.
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that one function of (ADP–ribose)n is to participate in the cellular recovery from DNA damage, and specific inhibitors of poly(ADP-ribose] polymerase prevent rejoining of DNA strand breaks caused by dimethyl sulphate and cytotoxicity is enhanced thereby.

Oxidative Strand Scission of Nucleic Acids: Routes Initiated by Hydrogen Abstraction from the Sugar Moiety.
TL;DR: This work has shown the ability to characterize the sugar moiety through the mechanism of “sugar-by-sugar interactions” and has suggested a number of mechanisms that could be responsible for the sweetness of the sucrose molecule.
