Structural highlights
Function
PARP3_HUMAN Involved in the base excision repair (BER) pathway, by catalyzing the poly(ADP-ribosyl)ation of a limited number of acceptor proteins involved in chromatin architecture and in DNA metabolism. This modification follows DNA damages and appears as an obligatory step in a detection/signaling pathway leading to the reparation of DNA strand breaks. May link the DNA damage surveillance network to the mitotic fidelity checkpoint. Negatively influences the G1/S cell cycle progression without interfering with centrosome duplication. Binds DNA. May be involved in the regulation of PRC2 and PRC3 complex-dependent gene silencing.[1]

Publication Abstract from PubMed
Poly(ADP-ribose) polymerases (PARPs) activate DNA repair mechanisms upon stress- and cytotoxin-induced DNA damage, and inhibition of PARP activity is a lead in cancer drug therapy. We present a structural and functional analysis of the PARP domain of human PARP-3 in complex with several inhibitors. Of these, KU0058948 is the strongest inhibitor of PARP-3 activity. The presented crystal structures highlight key features for potent inhibitor binding and suggest routes for creating isoenzyme-specific PARP inhibitors.
