Poly(ADP-ribosyl)ation, which is the posttranslational modification of proteins with poly(ADP-ribose), is catalysed by poly(ADP-ribose) polymerases. DNA-strand break induced catalytic activation of two PARP isoforms, namely PARP-1 and -2, are in involved in DNA base-excision repair and other repair pathways. A body of correlative data suggests a link between DNA-damage induced poly(ADP-ribosyl)ation and mammalian longevity. This notion was reinforced by recently published evidence for interactions between PARP-1 and the Werner syndrome protein, deficiency of which causes premature ageing in humans. Recent research on PARPs and poly(ADP-ribose) provides several candidate mechanisms through which poly(ADP-ribosyl)ation might contribute to keeping the ageing process at slow pace.
聚(ADP-核糖)化是蛋白质经聚(ADP-核糖)进行的翻译后修饰,由聚(ADP-核糖)聚合酶催化。DNA链断裂诱导两种PARP亚型(即PARP-1和PARP-2)的催化激活,它们参与DNA碱基切除修复和其他修复途径。大量相关数据表明,DNA损伤诱导的聚(ADP-核糖)化与哺乳动物寿命之间存在联系。PARP-1与沃纳综合征蛋白之间相互作用的最新证据进一步强化了这一观点,该蛋白的缺乏会导致人类早衰。最近对PARP和聚(ADP-核糖)的研究提供了几种候选机制,聚(ADP-核糖)化可能通过这些机制有助于减缓衰老过程。
