Protein ADP-ribosylation in rat liver cytosol
Abstract:
ADP and poly ADP-ribosylation are post-translational modifications of proteins which have been reported to occur essentially in eucaryotic nuclei. This phenomenon has been shown to interfere with a great variety of biological functions (cell differentiation, DNA repair, malignant transformation...). In this paper, we demonstrate for the first time that ADP-ribosylation occurs also in cytosol (120 000 g supernatant) and that several cytosolic proteins can be ADP-ribosylated in rat liver.
