Poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase: structure-function relationship
Résumé
Dissection of the human poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) molecule in terms of its structure-function relationship has proved to be an essential step towards understanding the biological role of poly(ADP-ribosylation) as a cellular response to DNA damage in eukaryotes. Current approaches aimed at elucidating the implication of this multifunctional enzyme in the maintenance of the genomic integrity will be presented.
