THE CATALYTIC FRAGMENT OF POLY(ADP-RIBOSE) POLYMERASE COMPLEXED WITH CARBA-NAD
Structural highlights
Function[PARP1_CHICK] Poly[ADP-ribose] polymerase modifies various nuclear proteins by poly(ADP-ribosyl)ation. The modification is dependent on DNA and is involved in the regulation of various important cellular processes such as differentiation, proliferation, and tumor transformation and also in the regulation of the molecular events involved in the recovery of cell from DNA damage. Evolutionary Conservation Check, as determined by ConSurfDB. You may read the explanation of the method and the full data available from ConSurf. Publication Abstract from PubMedThe binding site for the acceptor substrate poly(ADP-ribose) in the elongation reaction of the ADP-ribosyl transferase poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) was detected by cocrystallizing the enzyme with an NAD+ analogue. The site was confirmed by mutagenesis studies. In conjunction with the binding site of the donor NAD+, the bound acceptor reveals the geometry of the elongation reaction. It shows in particular that the strictly conserved glutamate residue of all ADP-ribosylating enzymes (Glu988 of PARP) facilitates the reaction by polarizing both, donor and acceptor. Moreover, the binding properties of the acceptor site suggest a mechanism for the branching reaction, that also explains the dual specificity of this transferase for elongation and branching, which is unique among polymer-forming enzymes.
