Toward a unified nomenclature for mammalian ADP-ribosyltransferases

Reads0
Chats0
TLDR
A new consensus nomenclature for all ADP-ribosyltransferases (ARTs) based on the catalyzed reaction and on structural features is proposed to facilitate communication between researchers both inside and outside the ADP, ribosylation field.

New insights into the molecular and cellular functions of poly(ADP-ribose) and PARPs.

TL;DR: This work has shown that the activity of PARP family members, such as PARP1 and PARP2, is tied to cellular signalling pathways, and through poly(ADP-ribosyl)ation (PARylation) they ultimately promote changes in gene expression, RNA and protein abundance, and the location and activity of proteins that mediate signalling responses.

The PARP Side of the Nucleus: Molecular Actions, Physiological Outcomes, and Clinical Targets

TL;DR: The abundant nuclear enzyme PARP-1, a multifunctional regulator of chromatin structure, transcription, and genomic integrity, plays key roles in a wide variety of processes in the nucleus.

PARPs and ADP-ribosylation: recent advances linking molecular functions to biological outcomes

TL;DR: New findings on the diverse roles of PARPs in chromatin regulation, transcription, RNA biology, and DNA repair have been complemented by recent advances that link ADP-ribosylation to stress responses, metabolism, viral infections, and cancer.

NAD+ metabolism and its roles in cellular processes during ageing

TL;DR: Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) is a coenzyme for redox reactions, making it central to energy metabolism and is also an essential cofactor for non-redox NAD+-dependent enzymes, including sirtuins, CD38 and poly(ADP-ribose) polymerases as discussed by the authors.

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.

Tankyrase, a Poly(ADP-Ribose) Polymerase at Human Telomeres

TL;DR: Tankyrase, a protein with homology to ankyrins and to the catalytic domain of poly(adenosine diphosphate-ribose) polymerase (PARP), was identified and localized to human telomeres.

NAD+ metabolism in health and disease.

TL;DR: Nicotinamide riboside, the recently discovered nucleoside precursor of NAD(+ in eukaryotic systems, might have advantages as a therapy to elevate NAD(+) without inhibiting sirtuins, which is associated with high-dose nicotinamide, or incurring the unpleasant side-effects of high- dose nicotinic acid.

Mechanism of cholera toxin action: Covalent modification of the guanyl nucleotide-binding protein of the adenylate cyclase system

TL;DR: The results indicate that cholera toxin affects the adenylate cyclase system by catalyzing an ADP-ribosylation of the 42,000-M(r) component bearing the guanyl nucleotide regulatory site.
