Poly ADP-ribosylation is a post-translational modification of protein structure and function that occurs in the nucleus of most eukaryotic cells. Although its function has not been fully elucidated it is thought to have a role in the processing DNA strand breaks. Poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase, a highly conserved enzyme, is well studied in animal cell systems but is less well characterised in plants. Our present understanding of mono and poly ADP-ribosylation reactions in plants is reviewed in this article.
多聚ADP-核糖基化是一种发生在大多数真核细胞细胞核中的蛋白质结构和功能的翻译后修饰。尽管其功能尚未完全阐明，但人们认为它在DNA链断裂的处理中发挥作用。聚（ADP-核糖）聚合酶是一种高度保守的酶，在动物细胞系统中已得到充分研究，但在植物中的特征了解较少。本文综述了我们目前对植物中单ADP-核糖基化和多聚ADP-核糖基化反应的认识。
