We propose that the activation of poly(ADP-ribose) synthetase by DNA damage serves to decrease rapidly and transiently the cellular level of NAD (by production therefrom of poly ADP-ribose). The result is a slow-down of energy-requiring reactions, in particular of replicative DNA synthesis giving cells more time to repair the damage. We do not attribute any specific role to poly ADP-ribosylated proteins in this reaction beyond their action as acceptors for poly ADP-ribose.
我们提出,DNA损伤激活聚(ADP-核糖)合成酶,其作用是迅速且短暂地降低细胞内NAD水平(通过由其产生聚ADP-核糖)。结果是需要能量的反应减缓,特别是复制性DNA合成减缓,从而为细胞提供更多时间来修复损伤。在这个反应中,除了作为聚ADP-核糖的受体之外,我们并未赋予聚ADP-核糖基化蛋白任何特定作用。
