Resumen

Los investigadores identificaron tres sitios específicos de ribosilación de ADP dentro del dominio D de la poli (ADP-ribosa) polimerasa-1 (PARP-1). Este estudio revela que la automodificación ocurre más allá del dominio D y que el dominio D no es esencial para la actividad enzimática de PARP-1.

Covalently Linked Protein Regulators

Proteins can undergo many types of post-translational modifications, often in response to changes in their environment. These modifications play an important role in the function and stability of these proteins. Covalently linked molecules include functional groups, such as methyl, acetyl, and phosphate groups, and also small proteins, such as ubiquitin. There are around 200 different types of covalent regulators that have been identified.
These groups modify specific amino acids in a protein.
