ADP-ribosylation of proteins was first described in the early 1960's, and today the function and regulation of poly(ADP-ribosyl)ation (PARylation) is partially understood. By contrast, little is known about intracellular mono(ADP-ribosyl)ation (MARylation) by ADP-ribosyl transferase (ART) enzymes, such as ARTD10. Recent findings indicate that MARylation regulates signalling and transcription by modifying key components in these processes. Emerging evidence also suggests that specific macrodomain-containing proteins, including ARTD8, macroD1, macroD2 and C6orf130, which are distinct from those affecting PARylation, interact with MARylation on target proteins to 'read' and 'erase' this modification. Thus, studying macrodomain-containing proteins is key to understanding the function and regulation of MARylation.
蛋白质的 ADP-核糖基化最早在 20 世纪 60 年代被描述,而如今聚(ADP-核糖基)化(PARylation)的功能和调控已被部分阐明。相比之下,ADP-核糖基转移酶(ART)酶介导的细胞内单(ADP-核糖基)化(MARylation),如 ARTD10,其相关信息知之甚少。最近的研究结果表明,MARylation 通过修饰这些过程中的关键成分来调节信号转导和转录。新出现的证据还表明,特定的Macrodomain 蛋白,包括 ARTD8、macroD1、macroD2 和 C6orf130,它们与影响 PARylation 的蛋白不同,与靶蛋白上的 MARylation 相互作用,从而“读取”和“擦除”这种修饰。因此,研究包含 Macrodomain 的蛋白是理解 MARylation 的功能和调控的关键。
