ADP-ribosylation is the addition of one or more ADP-ribose moieties to a protein. [1] [2] It is a reversible post-translational modification that is involved in many cellular processes, including cell signaling, DNA repair, gene regulation and apoptosis. [3] [4] Improper ADP-ribosylation has been implicated in some forms of cancer. [5]
Adenosine diphosphate (ADP), also known as adenosine pyrophosphate (APP), is an important organic compound in metabolism and is essential to the flow of energy in living cells. ADP consists of three important structural components: a sugar backbone attached to adenine and two phosphate groups bonded to the 5 carbon atom of ribose .
Adenosine monophosphate (AMP), also known as 5'-adenylic acid, is a nucleotide.AMP consists of a phosphate group, the sugar ribose, and the nucleobase adenine.It is an ester of phosphoric acid and the nucleoside adenosine. [1]
Roles of poly(ADP-ribosyl)ation in plant responses to DNA damage, infection, and other stresses have been studied. [ 24 ] [ 25 ] Plant PARP1 is very similar to animal PARP1, but intriguingly, in Arabidopsis thaliana and presumably other plants, PARP2 plays more significant roles than PARP1 in protective responses to DNA damage and bacterial ...
Adenosine diphosphate ribose (ADPR) is an ester molecule formed into chains by the enzyme poly ADP ribose polymerase. [1] ADPR is created from cyclic ADP-ribose (cADPR) by the CD38 enzyme using nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD +) as a cofactor. [1] ADPR binds to and activates the TRPM2 ion channel. [2] ADPR is the most potent agonist of ...
ADP-ribose diphosphatase (EC 3.6.1.13) is an enzyme that catalyzes a hydrolysis reaction in which water nucleophilically attacks ADP-ribose to produce AMP and D-ribose 5-phosphate. Enzyme hydrolysis occurs by the breakage of a phosphoanhydride bond and is dependent on Mg 2+ ions that are held in complex by the enzyme.
A typical example of a conserved moiety [2] in biochemistry is the Adenosine diphosphate (ADP) subgroup that remains unchanged when it is phosphorylated to create adenosine triphosphate (ATP) and then dephosphorylated back to ADP forming a conserved cycle.
The small ADP ribosylation factor (Arf) GTP-binding proteins are major regulators of vesicle biogenesis in intracellular traffic. [1] They are the founding members of a growing family that includes Arl (Arf-like), Arp (Arf-related proteins) and the remotely related Sar (Secretion-associated and Ras-related) proteins.
