  2. Adenosine diphosphate ribose - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adenosine_diphosphate_ribose

    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.

  3. Poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poly_(ADP-ribose)_polymerase

    Once PARP detects a SSB, it binds to the DNA, undergoes a structural change, and begins the synthesis of a polymeric adenosine diphosphate ribose (poly (ADP-ribose) or PAR) chain, which acts as a signal for the other DNA-repairing enzymes.

  4. Adenosine diphosphate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adenosine_diphosphate

    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 .

  5. Cyclic ADP-ribose - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyclic_ADP-ribose

    Cyclic ADP-ribose, frequently abbreviated as cADPR, is a cyclic adenine nucleotide (like cAMP) with two phosphate groups present on 5' OH of the adenosine (like ADP), further connected to another ribose at the 5' position, which, in turn, closes the cycle by glycosidic bonding to the nitrogen 1 (N 1) of the same adenine base (whose position N 9 has the glycosidic bond to the other ribose).

  6. ADP-ribosylation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ADP-ribosylation

    The source of ADP-ribose for most enzymes that perform this modification is the redox cofactor NAD +. In this transfer reaction, the N-glycosidic bond of NAD + that bridges the ADP-ribose molecule and the nicotinamide group is cleaved, followed by nucleophilic attack by the target amino acid side chain. (ADP-ribosyl)transferases can perform two ...

  7. Histone-modifying enzymes - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Histone-modifying_enzymes

    An adenosine diphosphate ribose group. ADP-ribosylation (ADPr) defines the addition of one or more adenosine diphosphate ribose (ADP-ribose) groups to a protein . [ 29 ] ADPr is an important mechanism in gene regulation that affects chromatin organization, the binding of transcription factors , and mRNA processing through poly-ADP ribose ...

  8. Ribonucleotide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ribonucleotide

    Ribonucleoside diphosphate (NDP) is reduced by thioredoxin to a deoxyribonucleoside diphosphate (dNTP). The general reaction is: Ribonucleoside diphosphate + NADPH + H + → Deoxyribonucleoside diphosphate + NADP + + H 2 O [11] To illustrate this equation, dATP and dGTP are synthesized from ADP and GDP, respectively.

  9. DNA repair - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DNA_repair

    PARP1 synthesizes polymeric adenosine diphosphate ribose (poly (ADP-ribose) or PAR) chains on itself. Next the chromatin remodeler ALC1 quickly attaches to the product of PARP1 action, a poly-ADP ribose chain, and ALC1 completes arrival at the DNA damage within 10 seconds of the occurrence of the damage.
