Abstract
ADP-ribosylation is a reversible post-translational modification that plays a role as a signaling mechanism in various cellular processes. This modification is characterized by its structural diversity, highly dynamic nature, and short half-life. Hence, it is tightly regulated at many levels by cellular factors that fine-tune its formation, downstream signaling, and degradation that together impacts cellular outcomes. Poly-ADP-ribosylation is an essential signaling mechanism in the DNA damage response that mediates the recruitment of DNA repair factors to sites of DNA damage via their poly-ADP-ribose (PAR)-binding domains (PBDs). PAR readers, encoding PBDs, convey the PAR signal to mediate cellular outcomes that in some cases can be dictated by PAR structural diversity. Several PBD families have been identified, each with variable PAR-binding affinity and specificity, that also recognize and bind to distinct parts of the PAR chain. PARylation signaling has emerged as an attractive target for the treatment of specific cancer types, as the inhibition of PAR formation or degradation can selectively eliminate cancer cells with specific DNA repair defects and can enhance radiation or chemotherapy response. In this review, we summarize the key players of poly-ADP-ribosylation and its regulation and highlight PBDs as tools for studying PARylation dynamics and the expanding potential to target PARylation signaling in cancer treatment.

Abstract
Poly (ADP-ribose) (PAR), a polymer of ADP-ribose, is synthesized by PAR polymerase and is crucial for the survival of cancer cells due to its vital functions in DNA repair and post-translational modifications. Beyond its supportive role, PAR also triggers cancer cell death by excessive accumulation of PAR leading to an energy crisis and parthanatos. This phenomenon underscores the potential of targeting PAR regulation as a novel anticancer strategy, and the rationale would present an engaging topic in the field of anticancer research. Therefore, this editorial provides an overview of the mechanisms determining cancer cell fate, emphasizing the central role of PAR. It further introduces promising methods for modulating PAR concentrations that may pave the way for innovative anticancer therapies.

Abstract
The COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the lack of effective, ready-to-use antivirals for the treatment of viruses with pandemic potential. The development of a diverse drug portfolio is therefore crucial for pandemic preparedness. Viral macrodomains are attractive therapeutic targets as they are suggested to play an important role in evading the innate host immune response, making them critical for viral pathogenesis. Macrodomains function as erasers of mono-ADP-ribosylation (deMARylation), a post-translational modification that is involved in interferon signaling. Herein, we report the development of a modular HTRF-based assay, that can be used to screen for inhibitors of various viral and human macrodomains. We characterized the five most promising small molecule SARS-CoV-2 Mac1 inhibitors recently reported in the literature for potency and selectivity and conducted a pilot screen demonstrating HTS suitability. The ability to directly detect enzymatic activity makes the DeMAR assay a valuable addition to the existing tools for macrodomain drug discovery.

Abstract
MOTIVATION ADP-ribosylation is a critical modification involved in regulating diverse cellular processes, including chromatin structure regulation, RNA transcription, and cell death. Bacterial ADP-ribosyltransferase toxins (bARTTs) serve as potent virulence factors that orchestrate the manipulation of host cell functions to facilitate bacterial pathogenesis. Despite their pivotal role, the bioinformatic identification of novel bARTTs poses a formidable challenge due to limited verified data and the inherent sequence diversity among bARTT members. RESULTS We proposed a deep learning-based model, ARTNet, specifically engineered to predict bARTTs from bacterial genomes. Initially, we introduced an effective data augmentation method to address the issue of data scarcity in training ARTNet. Subsequently, we employed a data optimization strategy by utilizing ART-related domain subsequences instead of the primary full sequences, thereby significantly enhancing the performance of ARTNet. ARTNet achieved a Matthew's correlation coefficient (MCC) of 0.9351 and an F1-score (macro) of 0.9666 on repeated independent test datasets, outperforming three other deep learning models and six traditional machine learning models in terms of time efficiency and accuracy. Furthermore, we empirically demonstrated the ability of ARTNet to predict novel bARTTs across domain superfamilies without sequence similarity. We anticipate that ARTNet will greatly facilitate the screening and identification of novel bARTTs from bacterial genomes. AVAILABILITY AND IMPLEMENTATION ARTNet is publicly accessible at http://www.mgc.ac.cn/ARTNet/. The source code of ARTNet is freely available at https://github.com/zhengdd0422/ARTNet/.

Abstract
ADPRHL2 is involved in posttranslational modification and is known to have a role in physiological functions such as cell signaling, DNA repair, gene control, cell death, and response to stress. Recently, a group of neurological disorders due to ADPRHL2 variants is described, characterized by childhood-onset, stress-induced variable movement disorders, neuropathy, seizures, and neurodegenerative course. We present the diagnostic pathway of two pediatric patients with episodic dystonia and ataxia, who later had a neurodegenerative course complicated by central hypoventilation syndrome due to the same homozygous ADPRHL2 variant. We conducted a systematic literature search and data extraction procedure following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis 2020 statement in terms of patients with ADPRHL2 variants, from 2018 up to 3 February, 2023. In total, 12 articles describing 47 patients were included in the final analysis. Median age at symptom onset was 2 (0.7-25) years, with the most common presenting symptoms being gait problems (n = 19, 40.4%), seizures (n = 16, 34%), ataxia (n = 13, 27.6%), and weakness (n = 10, 21.2%). Triggering factors (28/47; 59.5%) and regression (28/43; 60.4%), axonal polyneuropathy (9/23; 39.1%), and cerebral and cerebellar atrophy with white matter changes (28/36; 77.7%) were the other clues. The fatality rate and median age of death were 44.6% (n = 21) and 7 (2-34) years, respectively. ADPRHL2 variants should be considered in the context of episodic, stress-induced pediatric and adult-onset movement disorders and seizures.

Abstract
Background Tissues, such as skeletal muscle, have been targeted for the delivery of plasmid DNA (pDNA) encoding vaccines and therapeutics. The application of electric pulses (electroporation or electrotransfer) increases cell membrane permeability to enhance plasmid delivery and expression. However, the molecular effects of DNA electrotransfer on the muscle tissue are poorly characterized. Materials and Methods Four hours after intramuscular plasmid electrotransfer, we evaluated gene expression changes by RNA sequencing. Differentially expressed genes were analyzed by gene ontology (GO) pathway enrichment analysis. Results GO analysis highlighted many enriched molecular functions. The terms regulated by pulse application were related to muscle stress, the cytoskeleton and inflammation. The terms regulated by pDNA injection were related to a DNA-directed response and its control. Several terms regulated by pDNA electrotransfer were similar to those regulated by pulse application. However, the terms related to pDNA injection differed, focusing on entry of the plasmid into the cells and intracellular trafficking. Conclusion Each muscle stimulus resulted in specific regulated molecular functions. Identifying the unique intrinsic molecular changes driven by intramuscular DNA electrotransfer will aid in the design of preventative and therapeutic gene therapies.

Abstract
ADP-ribosylation (ADPr) is a dynamically reversible post-translational modification (PTM) driven primarily by ADP-ribosyltransferases (ADPRTs or ARTs), which have ADP-ribosyl transfer activity. ADPr modification is involved in signaling pathways, DNA damage repair, metabolism, immunity, and inflammation. In recent years, several studies have revealed that new targets or treatments for tumors, cardiovascular diseases, neuromuscular diseases and infectious diseases can be explored by regulating ADPr. Here, we review the recent research progress on ART-mediated ADP-ribosylation and the latest findings in the diagnosis and treatment of related diseases.

Abstract
ADP-ribosylation is a post-translational modification involved in regulation of diverse cellular pathways. Interestingly, many pathogens have been identified to utilize ADP-ribosylation as a way for host manipulation. A recent study found that CteC, an effector from the bacterial pathogen Chromobacterium violaceum, hinders host ubiquitin (Ub) signaling pathways via installing mono-ADP-ribosylation on threonine 66 of Ub. However, the molecular basis of substrate recognition by CteC is not well understood. In this article, we probed the substrate specificity of this effector at protein and residue levels. We also determined the crystal structure of CteC in complex with NAD+, which revealed a canonical mono-ADP-ribosyltransferase fold with an additional insertion domain. The AlphaFold-predicted model differed significantly from the experimentally determined structure, even in regions not used in crystal packing. Biochemical and biophysical studies indicated unique features of the NAD+ binding pocket, while showing selectivity distinction between Ub and structurally close Ub-like modifiers and the role of the insertion domain in substrate recognition. Together, this study provides insights into the enzymatic specificities and the key structural features of a novel bacterial ADP-ribosyltransferase involved in host-pathogen interaction.

Abstract
Post-translational modifications (PTMs) are crucial covalent processes that alter protein properties, achieved through proteolytic cleavage or addition of modifying groups like acetyl, phosphoryl, glycosyl, or methyl to amino acids. ADP-ribosylation is a reversible post-translational modification, where ADP-ribose units are covalently attached to target protein side chains. Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is a potent angiogenic factor that plays a key role in physiological and pathological conditions. Studies have reported that ADP-ribosylation affects VEGF's ability to bind to VEGF receptors, impacting angiogenesis signalling. However, the specific amino acid undergoing ADP-ribosylation on VEGF remained unknown. To understand the mechanism of ADP-ribose addition to VEGF, an in silico study was designed. The study initially checked for the presence of any conserved motif where ADP-ribosylation could potentially occur and identified the presence of the EIE motif in VEGF, a probable site for ADP-ribosylation for many proteins. Subsequently, the amino acids near this motif were selected and their structural properties were analyzed. Surface-exposed amino acids were chosen, and ADP-ribose was then added to their side chains. The results revealed that the amino acids ASP (67) and GLU (70) underwent glycosidic linkage with ADP-ribose, indicating that they are the most probable modification sites. Subsequently, Molecular dynamic simulation analysis such as RMSD, RMSF, Rg, PCA, and FEL, along with MM-PBSA binding free energy calculations were performed to understand the stability of the VEGF-ADP-ribose complexes. The analysis revealed that amino acid at position 67 (ASP67) is the most probable site for ADP-ribosylation in VEGF.Communicated by Ramaswamy H. Sarma.

Abstract
Poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase 1 (PARP1) is a first responder that recognizes DNA damage and facilitates its repair. Neurodegenerative diseases, characterized by progressive neuron loss driven by various risk factors, including DNA damage, have increasingly shed light on the pivotal involvement of PARP1. During the early phases of neurodegenerative diseases, PARP1 experiences controlled activation to swiftly address mild DNA damage, thereby contributing to maintain brain homeostasis. However, in late stages, exacerbated PARP1 activation precipitated by severe DNA damage exacerbates the disease condition. Consequently, inhibition of PARP1 overactivation emerges as a promising therapeutic approach for neurodegenerative diseases. In this review, we comprehensively synthesize and explore the multifaceted role of PARP1 in neurodegenerative diseases, with a particular emphasis on its over-activation in the aggregation of misfolded proteins, dysfunction of the autophagy-lysosome pathway, mitochondrial dysfunction, neuroinflammation, and blood-brain barrier (BBB) injury. Additionally, we encapsulate the therapeutic applications and limitations intrinsic of PARP1 inhibitors, mainly including limited specificity, intricate pathway dynamics, constrained clinical translation, and the heterogeneity of patient cohorts. We also explore and discuss the potential synergistic implementation of these inhibitors alongside other agents targeting DNA damage cascades within neurodegenerative diseases. Simultaneously, we propose several recommendations for the utilization of PARP1 inhibitors within the realm of neurodegenerative disorders, encompassing factors like the disease-specific roles of PARP1, combinatorial therapeutic strategies, and personalized medical interventions. Lastly, the encompassing review presents a forward-looking perspective along with strategic recommendations that could guide future research endeavors in this field.

Int Immunopharmacol 2023; 123:110720.

Abstract
Depression is a serious mood disorder characterized by monoamines deficiency, oxidative stress, neuroinflammation, and cell death. Niacin (vitamin B3 or nicotinic acid, NA), a chief mediator of neuronal development and survival in the central nervous system, exerts neuroprotective effects in several experimental models. AIMS This study aimed to investigate the effect of NA in lipopolysaccharide (LPS) mouse model of depression exploring its ability to regulate sirtuin1/poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase-1 (PARP-1)/nod-likereceptor protein 3 (NLRP3) signaling. MAIN METHODS Mice were injected with LPS (500 µg/kg, i.p) every other day alone or concurrently with oral doses of either NA (40 mg/kg/day) or escitalopram (10 mg/kg/day) for 14 days. KEY FINDINGS Administration of NA resulted in significant attenuation of animals' despair reflected by decreased immobility time in forced swimming test. Moreover, NA induced monoamines upsurge in addition to sirtuin1 activation with subsequent down regulation of PARP-1 in the hippocampus. Further, it diminished nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) levels and inhibited NLRP3 inflammasome with consequent reduction of caspase-1, interleukin-1β and tumor necrosis factor-α levels, thus mitigating LPS-induced neuroinflammation. NA also reduced tumor suppressor protein (p53) while elevating brain-derived neurotrophic factor levels. LPS-induced decline in neuronal survival was reversed by NA administration with an obvious increase in the number of intact cells recorded in the histopathological micrographs. SIGNIFICANCE Accordingly, NA is deemed as a prosperous candidate for depression management via targeting SIRT1/PARP-1 pathway.

Abstract
ADP-ribosyltransferases (ARTs) mediate the transfer of ADP-ribose from NAD+ to protein or nucleic acid substrates. This modification can be removed by several different types of proteins, including macrodomains. Several ARTs, also known as PARPs, are stimulated by interferon indicating ADP-ribosylation is an important aspect of the innate immune response. All coronaviruses (CoVs) encode for a highly conserved macrodomain (Mac1) that is critical for CoVs to replicate and cause disease, indicating that ADP-ribosylation can effectively control coronavirus infection. Our siRNA screen indicated that PARP12 might inhibit the replication of a murine hepatitis virus (MHV) Mac1 mutant virus in bone-marrow-derived macrophages (BMDMs). To conclusively demonstrate that PARP12 is a key mediator of the antiviral response to CoVs both in cell culture and in vivo, we produced PARP12-/-mice and tested the ability of MHV A59 (hepatotropic/neurotropic) and JHM (neurotropic) Mac1 mutant viruses to replicate and cause disease in these mice. Notably, in the absence of PARP12, Mac1 mutant replication was increased in BMDMs and mice. In addition, liver pathology was also increased in A59-infected mice. However, the PARP12 knockout did not restore Mac1 mutant virus replication to WT virus levels in all cell or tissue types and did not significantly increase the lethality of Mac1 mutant viruses. These results demonstrate that while PARP12 inhibits MHV Mac1 mutant virus infection, additional PARPs or innate immune factors must contribute to the extreme attenuation of this virus in mice. IMPORTANCE Over the last decade, the importance of ADP-ribosyltransferases (ARTs), also known as PARPs, in the antiviral response has gained increased significance as several were shown to either restrict virus replication or impact innate immune responses. However, there are few studies showing ART-mediated inhibition of virus replication or pathogenesis in animal models. We found that the CoV macrodomain (Mac1) was required to prevent ART-mediated inhibition of virus replication in cell culture. Using knockout mice, we found that PARP12, an interferon-stimulated ART, was required to repress the replication of a Mac1 mutant CoV both in cell culture and in mice, demonstrating that PARP12 represses coronavirus replication. However, the deletion of PARP12 did not fully rescue Mac1 mutant virus replication or pathogenesis, indicating that multiple PARPs function to counter coronavirus infection.

Abstract
Adenosine diphosphate (ADP) ribosylation is an important post-translational modification (PTM) that plays a role in a wide variety of cellular processes. To study the enzymes responsible for the establishment, recognition, and removal of this PTM, stable analogues are invaluable tools. We describe the design and synthesis of a 4-thioribosyl APRr peptide that has been assembled by solid phase synthesis. The key 4-thioribosyl serine building block was obtained in a stereoselective glycosylation reaction using an alkynylbenzoate 4-thioribosyl donor.

Abstract
We report here chemoenzymatic and fully synthetic methodologies to modify aspartate and glutamate side chains with ADP-ribose at specific sites on peptides. Structural analysis of aspartate and glutamate ADP-ribosylated peptides reveals near-quantitative migration of the side chain linkage from the anomeric carbon to the 2″- or 3″-ADP-ribose hydroxyl moieties. We find that this linkage migration pattern is unique to aspartate and glutamate ADP-ribosylation and propose that the observed isomer distribution profile is present in biochemical and cellular environments. After defining distinct stability properties of aspartate and glutamate ADP-ribosylation, we devise methods to install homogenous ADP-ribose chains at specific glutamate sites and assemble glutamate-modified peptides into full-length proteins. By implementing these technologies, we show that histone H2B E2 tri-ADP-ribosylation is able to stimulate the chromatin remodeler ALC1 with similar efficiency to histone serine ADP-ribosylation. Our work reveals fundamental principles of aspartate and glutamate ADP-ribosylation and enables new strategies to interrogate the biochemical consequences of this widespread protein modification.

Abstract
Modification of nucleic acids by ADP-ribosylation is catalyzed by various ADP-ribosyltransferases, including the DarT enzyme. The latter is part of the bacterial toxin-antitoxin (TA) system DarTG, which was shown to provide control of DNA replication and bacterial growth as well as protection against bacteriophages. Two subfamilies have been identified, DarTG1 and DarTG2, which are distinguished by their associated antitoxins. While DarTG2 catalyzes reversible ADP-ribosylation of thymidine bases employing a macrodomain as antitoxin, the DNA ADP-ribosylation activity of DarTG1 and the biochemical function of its antitoxin, a NADAR domain, are as yet unknown. Using structural and biochemical approaches, we show that DarT1-NADAR is a TA system for reversible ADP-ribosylation of guanosine bases. DarT1 evolved the ability to link ADP-ribose to the guanine amino group, which is specifically hydrolyzed by NADAR. We show that guanine de-ADP-ribosylation is also conserved among eukaryotic and non-DarT-associated NADAR members, indicating a wide distribution of reversible guanine modifications beyond DarTG systems.

Abstract
The ever-increasing prevalence of noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) represents a major public health burden worldwide. The most common form of NCD is metabolic diseases, which affect people of all ages and usually manifest their pathobiology through life-threatening cardiovascular complications. A comprehensive understanding of the pathobiology of metabolic diseases will generate novel targets for improved therapies across the common metabolic spectrum. Protein posttranslational modification (PTM) is an important term that refers to biochemical modification of specific amino acid residues in target proteins, which immensely increases the functional diversity of the proteome. The range of PTMs includes phosphorylation, acetylation, methylation, ubiquitination, SUMOylation, neddylation, glycosylation, palmitoylation, myristoylation, prenylation, cholesterylation, glutathionylation, S-nitrosylation, sulfhydration, citrullination, ADP ribosylation, and several novel PTMs. Here, we offer a comprehensive review of PTMs and their roles in common metabolic diseases and pathological consequences, including diabetes, obesity, fatty liver diseases, hyperlipidemia, and atherosclerosis. Building upon this framework, we afford a through description of proteins and pathways involved in metabolic diseases by focusing on PTM-based protein modifications, showcase the pharmaceutical intervention of PTMs in preclinical studies and clinical trials, and offer future perspectives. Fundamental research defining the mechanisms whereby PTMs of proteins regulate metabolic diseases will open new avenues for therapeutic intervention.

Abstract
Poly ADP-ribose polymerases (PARPs) catalyze ADP-ribosylation, a subclass of post-translational modification (PTM). Mono-ADP-ribose (MAR) moieties bind to target molecules such as proteins and nucleic acids, and are added as part of the process which also leads to formation of polymer chains of ADP-ribose. ADP-ribosylation is reversible; its removal is carried out by ribosyl hydrolases such as PARG (poly ADP-ribose glycohydrolase), TARG (terminal ADP-ribose protein glycohydrolase), macrodomain, etc. In this study, the catalytic domain of Aedes aegypti tankyrase was expressed in bacteria and purified. The tankyrase PARP catalytic domain was found to be enzymatically active, as demonstrated by an in vitro poly ADP-ribosylation (PARylation) experiment. Using in vitro ADP-ribosylation assay, we further demonstrate that the chikungunya virus (CHIKV) nsp3 (non-structural protein 3) macrodomain inhibits ADP-ribosylation in a time-dependent way. We have also demonstrated that transfection of the CHIKV nsP3 macrodomain increases the CHIKV viral titer in mosquito cells, suggesting that ADP-ribosylation may play a significant role in viral replication.

Abstract
Protein folding is a biophysical process by which proteins reach a specific three-dimensional structure. The amino acid sequence of a polypeptide chain contains all the information needed to determine the final three-dimensional structure of a protein. When producing a recombinant protein, several problems can occur, including proteolysis, incorrect folding, formation of inclusion bodies, or protein aggregation, whereby the protein loses its natural structure. To overcome such limitations, several strategies have been developed to address each specific issue. Identification of proper protein refolding conditions can be challenging, and to tackle this high throughput screening for different recombinant protein folding conditions can prove a sound solution. Different approaches have emerged to tackle refolding issues. One particular approach to address folding issues involves molecular chaperones, highly conserved proteins that contribute to proper folding by shielding folding proteins from other proteins that could hinder the process. Proper protein folding is one of the main prerequisites for post-translational modifications. Incorrect folding, if not dealt with, can lead to a buildup of protein misfoldings that damage cells and cause widespread abnormalities. Said post-translational modifications, widespread in eukaryotes, are critical for protein structure, function and biological activity. Incorrect post-translational protein modifications may lead to individual consequences or aggregation of therapeutic proteins. In this review article, we have tried to examine some key aspects of recombinant protein expression. Accordingly, the relevance of these proteins is highlighted, major problems related to the production of recombinant protein and to refolding issues are pinpointed and suggested solutions are presented. An overview of post-translational modification, their biological significance and methods of identification are also provided. Overall, the work is expected to illustrate challenges in recombinant protein expression.

Abstract
Liver kinase B1 (LKB1) is a serine-threonine kinase that participates in multiple cellular and biological processes, including energy metabolism, cell polarity, cell proliferation, cell migration, and many others. LKB1 is initially identified as a germline-mutated causative gene in Peutz-Jeghers syndrome (PJS) and is commonly regarded as a tumor suppressor due to frequent inactivation in a variety of cancers. LKB1 directly binds and activates its downstream kinases including the AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) and AMPK-related kinases by phosphorylation, which has been intensively investigated for the past decades. An increasing number of studies has uncovered the posttranslational modifications (PTMs) of LKB1 and consequent changes in its localization, activity, and interaction with substrates. The alteration in LKB1 function as a consequence of genetic mutations and aberrant upstream signaling regulation leads to tumor development and progression. Here, we review current knowledge about the mechanism of LKB1 in cancer and the contributions of PTMs, such as phosphorylation, ubiquitination, SUMOylation, acetylation, prenylation, and others, to the regulation of LKB1 function, offering new insights into the therapeutic strategies in cancer.

Abstract
The worldwide public health and socioeconomic consequences caused by the COVID-19 pandemic highlight the importance of increasing preparedness for viral disease outbreaks by providing rapid disease prevention and treatment strategies. The NSP3 macrodomain of coronaviruses including SARS-CoV-2 is among the viral protein repertoire that was identified as a potential target for the development of antiviral agents, due to its critical role in viral replication and consequent pathogenicity in the host. By combining virtual and biophysical screening efforts, we discovered several experimental small molecules and FDA-approved drugs as inhibitors of the NSP3 macrodomain. Analogue characterisation of the hit matter and crystallographic studies confirming binding modes, including that of the antibiotic compound aztreonam, to the active site of the macrodomain provide valuable structure-activity relationship information that support current approaches and open up new avenues for NSP3 macrodomain inhibitor development.

Abstract
The chemical modification of cellular macromolecules by the transfer of ADP-ribose unit(s), known as ADP-ribosylation, is an ancient homeostatic and stress response control system. Highly conserved across the evolution, ADP-ribosyltransferases and ADP-ribosylhydrolases control ADP-ribosylation signalling and cellular responses. In addition to proteins, both prokaryotic and eukaryotic transferases can covalently link ADP-ribosylation to different conformations of nucleic acids, thus highlighting the evolutionary conservation of archaic stress response mechanisms. Here, we report several structural and functional aspects of DNA ADP-ribosylation modification controlled by the prototype DarT and DarG pair, which show ADP-ribosyltransferase and hydrolase activity, respectively. DarT/DarG is a toxin-antitoxin system conserved in many bacterial pathogens, for example in Mycobacterium tuberculosis, which regulates two clinically important processes for human health, namely, growth control and the anti-phage response. The chemical modulation of the DarT/DarG system by selective inhibitors may thus represent an exciting strategy to tackle resistance to current antimicrobial therapies.

Abstract
ADP-ribosylation is an ancient modification of proteins, nucleic acids, and other biomolecules found in all kingdoms of life as well as in certain viruses. The regulation of fundamental (patho)physiological processes by ADP-ribosylation, including the cellular stress response, inflammation, and immune response to bacterial and viral pathogens, has created a strong interest into the study of modification establishment and removal to explore novel therapeutic approaches. Beyond ADP-ribosylation in humans, direct targeting of factors that alter host ADP-ribosylation signaling (e.g., viral macrodomains) or utilize ADP-ribosylation to manipulate host cell behavior (e.g., bacterial toxins) were shown to reduce virulence and disease severity. However, the realization of these therapeutic potentials is thus far hampered by the unavailability of simple, high-throughput methods to study the modification "writers" and "erasers" and screen for novel inhibitors.Here, we describe a scalable method for the measurement of (ADP-ribosyl)hydrolase activity. The assay relies on the conversion of ADP-ribose released from a modified substrate by the (ADP-ribosyl)hydrolase under investigation into AMP by the phosphodiesterase NudT5 into bioluminescence via a commercially available detection assay. Moreover, this method can be utilized to study the role of nudix- or ENPP-type phosphodiesterases in ADP-ribosylation processing and may also be adapted to investigate the activity of (ADP-ribosyl)transferases. Overall, this method is applicable for both basic biochemical characterization and screening of large drug libraries; hence, it is highly adaptable to diverse project needs.

Abstract
Chikungunya virus (CHIKV) causes outbreaks of rash, arthritis, and fever associated with neurologic complications, where astrocytes are preferentially infected. A determinant of virulence is the macrodomain (MD) of nonstructural protein 3 (nsP3), which binds and removes ADP-ribose (ADPr) from ADP-ribosylated substrates and regulates stress-granule disruption. We compared the replication of CHIKV 181/25 (WT) and MD mutants with decreased ADPr binding and hydrolase (G32S) or increased ADPr binding and decreased hydrolase (Y114A) activities in C8-D1A astrocytic cells and NSC-34 neuronal cells. WT CHIKV replication was initiated more rapidly with earlier nsP synthesis in C8-D1A than in NSC-34 cells. G32S established infection, amplified replication complexes, and induced host-protein synthesis shut-off less efficiently than WT and produced less infectious virus, while Y114A replication was close to WT. However, G32S mutation effects on structural protein synthesis were cell-type-dependent. In NSC-34 cells, E2 synthesis was decreased compared to WT, while in C8-D1A cells synthesis was increased. Excess E2 produced by G32S-infected C8-D1A cells was assembled into virus particles that were less infectious than those from WT or Y114A-infected cells. Because nsP3 recruits ADP-ribosylated RNA-binding proteins in stress granules away from translation-initiation factors into nsP3 granules where the MD hydrolase can remove ADPr, we postulate that suboptimal translation-factor release decreased structural protein synthesis in NSC-34 cells while failure to de-ADP-ribosylate regulatory RNA-binding proteins increased synthesis in C8-D1A cells.

Abstract
The poly-ADP-ribosyltransferase tankyrase (TNKS, TNKS2) controls a wide range of disease-relevant cellular processes, including WNT-β-catenin signalling, telomere length maintenance, Hippo signalling, DNA damage repair and glucose homeostasis1,2. This has incentivized the development of tankyrase inhibitors. Notwithstanding, our knowledge of the mechanisms that control tankyrase activity has remained limited. Both catalytic and non-catalytic functions of tankyrase depend on its filamentous polymerization3-5. Here we report the cryo-electron microscopy reconstruction of a filament formed by a minimal active unit of tankyrase, comprising the polymerizing sterile alpha motif (SAM) domain and its adjacent catalytic domain. The SAM domain forms a novel antiparallel double helix, positioning the protruding catalytic domains for recurring head-to-head and tail-to-tail interactions. The head interactions are highly conserved among tankyrases and induce an allosteric switch in the active site within the catalytic domain to promote catalysis. Although the tail interactions have a limited effect on catalysis, they are essential to tankyrase function in WNT-β-catenin signalling. This work reveals a novel SAM domain polymerization mode, illustrates how supramolecular assembly controls catalytic and non-catalytic functions, provides important structural insights into the regulation of a non-DNA-dependent poly-ADP-ribosyltransferase and will guide future efforts to modulate tankyrase and decipher its contribution to disease mechanisms.

Abstract
hPARP14 is a human ADP-ribosyl-transferase (ART) that belongs to the macroPARPs family, together with hPARP9 and hPARP15. It contains a tandem of three macro domains (MD) while each of them has different properties. The first one, namely MD1, has not been reported to exhibit a high binding affinity for ADP-ribose (ADPr) in contrast to the following two (MD2 and MD3). All three MDs exhibit an α/β/α sandwich-like fold as reported by the deposited crystallographic structures. MD2 and MD3 recognize mono-ADP-ribosylated (MARylated) but not poly-ADP-ribosylated (PARylated) substrates and thus they allow hPARP14 to bind its targets, which can be potentially MARylated by its catalytic domain (CD). hPARP14 participates in DNA damage repair process and immune response against viruses like SARS-CoV-2, which also harbors an MD fold. Furthermore, hPARP14 like the other two macroPARPs (hPARP9 and hPARP15), is implicated in numerous types of cancer, such as B-aggressive lymphoma and sarcoma, rendering its MDs as potential important drug targets. Herein, we report the complete NMR backbone and side chain assignment (1H, 13C, 15N) of hPARP14 MD2 in the free and ADPr bound states and the NMR chemical shift-based prediction of its secondary structure elements. This is the first reported NMR study of a hPARP macro domain, paving the way to screen by NMR chemical compounds which may alter the ability of hPARP14 to interact with its substrates affecting its function.

Abstract
Viral infection in cells triggers a cascade of molecular defense mechanisms to maintain host-cell homoeostasis. One of these mechanisms is ADP-ribosylation, a fundamental post-translational modification (PTM) characterized by the addition of ADP-ribose (ADPr) on substrates. Poly(ADP-ribose) polymerases (PARPs) are implicated in this process and they perform ADP-ribosylation on host and pathogen proteins. Some viral families contain structural motifs that can reverse this PTM. These motifs known as macro domains (MDs) are evolutionarily conserved protein domains found in all kingdoms of life. They are divided in different classes with the viral belonging to Macro-D-type class because of their properties to recognize and revert the ADP-ribosylation. Viral MDs are potential pharmaceutical targets, capable to counteract host immune response. Sequence and structural homology between viral and human MDs are an impediment for the development of new active compounds against their function. Remdesivir, is a drug administrated in viral infections inhibiting viral replication through RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp). Herein, GS-441524, the active metabolite of the remdesivir, is tested as a hydrolase inhibitor for several viral MDs and for its binding to human homologs found in PARPs. This study presents biochemical and biophysical studies, which indicate that GS-441524 selectively modifies SARS-CoV-2 MD de-MARylation activity, while it does not interact with hPARP14 MD2 and hPARP15 MD2. The structural investigation of MD•GS-441524 complexes, using solution NMR and X-ray crystallography, discloses the impact of certain amino acids in ADPr binding cavity suggesting that F360 and its adjacent residues tune the selective binding of the inhibitor to SARS-CoV-2 MD.

Abstract
Suppression of nascent DNA degradation has emerged as an essential role of the BRCA pathway in genome protection. In BRCA-deficient cells, the MRE11 nuclease is responsible for both resection of reversed replication forks, and accumulation of single stranded DNA gaps behind forks. Here, we show that the mono-ADP-ribosyltransferase PARP14 is a critical co-factor of MRE11. PARP14 is recruited to nascent DNA upon replication stress in BRCA-deficient cells, and through its catalytic activity, mediates the engagement of MRE11. Loss or inhibition of PARP14 suppresses MRE11-mediated fork degradation and gap accumulation, and promotes genome stability and chemoresistance of BRCA-deficient cells. Moreover, we show that the KU complex binds reversed forks and protects them against EXO1-catalyzed degradation. KU recruits the PARP14-MRE11 complex, which initiates partial resection to release KU and allow long-range resection by EXO1. Our work identifies a multistep process of nascent DNA processing at stalled replication forks in BRCA-deficient cells. Protection of replication forks against nucleolytic degradation is crucial for genome stability. Here, Dhoonmoon et al identify PARP14 and the KU complex as essential regulators of fork degradation by MRE11 and EXO1 nucleases in BRCA-deficient cells.

[PMID: 36051881 PMCID: PMC9411070 DOI: 10.1016/j.csbj.2022.08.002] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/08/2022] [Revised: 08/01/2022] [Accepted: 08/01/2022] [Indexed: 11/03/2022] Open
Abstract
ADP-ribosylation is an ancient, highly conserved, and reversible covalent modification critical for a variety of endogenous processes in both prokaryotes and eukaryotes. ADP-ribosylation targets proteins, nucleic acids, and small molecules (including antibiotics). ADP-ribosylation signalling involves enzymes that add ADP-ribose to the target molecule, the (ADP-ribosyl)transferases; and those that remove it, the (ADP-ribosyl)hydrolases. Recently, the toxin/antitoxin pair DarT/DarG composed of a DNA ADP-ribosylating toxin, DarT, and (ADP-ribosyl)hydrolase antitoxin, DarG, was described. DarT modifies thymidine in single-stranded DNA in a sequence-specific manner while DarG reverses this modification, thereby rescuing cells from DarT toxicity. We studied the DarG homologue SCO6735 which is highly conserved in all Streptomyces species and known to be associated with antibiotic production in the bacterium S. coelicolor. SCO6735 shares a high structural similarity with the bacterial DarG and human TARG1. Like DarG and TARG1, SCO6735 can also readily reverse thymidine-linked ADP-ribosylation catalysed by DarT in vitro and in cells. SCO6735 active site analysis including molecular dynamic simulations of its complex with ADP-ribosylated thymidine suggests a novel catalytic mechanism of DNA-(ADP-ribose) hydrolysis. Moreover, a comparison of SCO6735 structure with ALC1-like homologues revealed an evolutionarily conserved feature characteristic for this subclass of macrodomain hydrolases.

Abstract
A series of amino acid based 7H-pyrrolo[2,3-d]pyrimidines were designed and synthesized to discern the structure activity relationships against the SARS-CoV-2 nsp3 macrodomain (Mac1), an ADP-ribosylhydrolase that is critical for coronavirus replication and pathogenesis. Structure activity studies identified compound 15c as a low-micromolar inhibitor of Mac1 in two ADP-ribose binding assays. This compound also demonstrated inhibition in an enzymatic assay of Mac1 and displayed a thermal shift comparable to ADPr in the melting temperature of Mac1 supporting binding to the target protein. A structural model reproducibly predicted a binding mode where the pyrrolo pyrimidine forms a hydrogen bonding network with Asp22 and the amide backbone NH of Ile23 in the adenosine binding pocket and the carboxylate forms hydrogen bonds to the amide backbone of Phe157 and Asp156, part of the oxyanion subsite of Mac1. Compound 15c also demonstrated notable selectivity for coronavirus macrodomains when tested against a panel of ADP-ribose binding proteins. Together, this study identified several low MW, low µM Mac1 inhibitors to use as small molecule chemical probes for this potential anti-viral target and offers starting points for further optimization.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION We aimed to find a novel candidate gene related to the white blood cell (WBC) count in a Korean population. Since WBC count has been reported to have a relation to the risk of chronic diseases according to previous literature, WBC level prediction can be helpful for managing future risk of chronic disease development. In this aspect, a gene newly found in the present study is expected to be utilized as a tool for judging an individual's WBC level. METHODS Based on the 153 study participants' genotype data produced by the Korean Chip. The mono-adenosine diphosphate ribosylhydrolase 2 (MACROD2) rs6110695 A>G polymorphism had a significant strong association with WBC count, thus, the MACROD2 gene emerged as a novel candidate gene for WBC count. To verify the effects of the single-nucleotide polymorphisms on WBC count, the participants were grouped according to the rs6110695 AA and AG genotypes. RESULTS WBC to apolipoprotein A-I ratio, WBC count, granulocyte to lymphocyte ratio, monocyte to platelet ratio, and interferon-γ level were significantly higher in the AG genotype group than in the AA genotype group. Through the receiver operating characteristic curve analysis, the rs6110695 AA and AG genotypes were discriminated by the optimal WBC count cutoff value of 5.450. As expected, the results in the participants having a WBC count over 5.450 were similar to the AG genotype group. CONCLUSIONS We revealed that the MACROD2 rs6110695 AG genotype has an association with increasing WBC count. Since, as previous literature described, WBC count is one of the main risk factors for chronic diseases, WBC count measurement in individuals with the rs6110695 AG genotype that was found in the present study may help manage future chronic disease risk.

Abstract
Tumor necrosis factor (TNF) is a key component of the innate immune response. Upon binding to its receptor, TNFR1, it promotes production of other cytokines via a membrane-bound complex 1 or induces cell death via a cytosolic complex 2. To understand how TNF-induced cell death is regulated, we performed mass spectrometry of complex 2 and identified tankyrase-1 as a native component that, upon a death stimulus, mediates complex 2 poly-ADP-ribosylation (PARylation). PARylation promotes recruitment of the E3 ligase RNF146, resulting in proteasomal degradation of complex 2, thereby limiting cell death. Expression of the ADP-ribose-binding/hydrolyzing severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 macrodomain sensitizes cells to TNF-induced death via abolishing complex 2 PARylation. This suggests that disruption of ADP-ribosylation during an infection can prime a cell to retaliate with an inflammatory cell death.

Abstract
Intracellular bacteria have developed a multitude of mechanisms to influence the post-translational modifications (PTMs) of host proteins to pathogen advantages. The recent explosion of insights into the diversity and sophistication of host PTMs and their manipulation by infectious agents challenges us to formulate a comprehensive vision of this complex and dynamic facet of the host-pathogen interaction landscape. As new discoveries continue to shed light on the central roles of PTMs in infectious diseases, technological advances foster our capacity to detect old and new PTMs and investigate their control and impact during pathogenesis, opening new possibilities for chemical intervention and infection treatment. Here, we present a comprehensive overview of these pathogenic mechanisms and offer perspectives on how these insights may contribute to the development of a new class of therapeutics that are urgently needed to face rising antibiotic resistances.

Abstract
Cellular functions are regulated through the gene expression program by the transcription of new messenger RNAs (mRNAs), alternative RNA splicing, and protein synthesis. To this end, the post-translational modifications (PTMs) of proteins add another layer of complexity, creating a continuously fine-tuned regulatory network. ADP-ribosylation (ADPr) is an ancient reversible modification of cellular macromolecules, regulating a multitude of key functional processes as diverse as DNA damage repair (DDR), transcriptional regulation, intracellular transport, immune and stress responses, and cell survival. Additionally, due to the emerging role of ADP-ribosylation in pathological processes, ADP-ribosyltransferases (ARTs), the enzymes involved in ADPr, are attracting growing interest as new drug targets. In this review, an overview of human ARTs and their related biological functions is provided, mainly focusing on the regulation of ADP-ribosyltransferase Diphtheria toxin-like enzymes (ARTD)-dependent RNA functions. Finally, in order to unravel novel gene functional relationships, we propose the analysis of an inventory of human gene clusters, including ARTDs, which share conserved sequences at 3′ untranslated regions (UTRs).

Abstract
ADP-ribosylation has primarily been known as post-translational modification of proteins. As signalling strategy conserved in all domains of life, it modulates substrate activity, localisation, stability or interactions, thereby regulating a variety of cellular processes and microbial pathogenicity. Yet over the last years, there is increasing evidence of non-canonical forms of ADP-ribosylation that are catalysed by certain members of the ADP-ribosyltransferase family and go beyond traditional protein ADP-ribosylation signalling. New macromolecular targets such as nucleic acids and new ADP-ribose derivatives have been established, notably extending the repertoire of ADP-ribosylation signalling. Based on the physiological relevance known so far, non-canonical ADP-ribosylation deserves its recognition next to the traditional protein ADP-ribosylation modification and which we therefore review in the following.

Abstract
Emerging and re-emerging viral diseases pose continuous public health threats, and effective control requires a combination of non-pharmacologic interventions, treatment with antivirals, and prevention with vaccines. The COVID-19 pandemic has demonstrated that the world was least prepared to provide effective treatments. This lack of preparedness has been due, in large part, to a lack of investment in developing a diverse portfolio of antiviral agents, particularly those ready to combat viruses of pandemic potential. Here, we focus on a drug target called macrodomain that is critical for the replication and pathogenesis of alphaviruses and coronaviruses. Some mutations in alphavirus and coronaviral macrodomains are not tolerated for virus replication. In addition, the coronavirus macrodomain suppresses host interferon responses. Therefore, macrodomain inhibitors have the potential to block virus replication and restore the host’s protective interferon response. Viral macrodomains offer an attractive antiviral target for developing direct acting antivirals because they are highly conserved and have a structurally well-defined (druggable) binding pocket. Given that this target is distinct from the existing RNA polymerase and protease targets, a macrodomain inhibitor may complement current approaches, pre-empt the threat of resistance and offer opportunities to develop combination therapies for combating COVID-19 and future viral threats.

Abstract
Neuropathic pain is a maladaptive pain phenotype that results from injury or damage to the somatosensory nervous system and is proposed to be linked to a cascade of events including excitotoxicity, oxidative stress, mitochondrial dysfunction, neuroinflammation and apoptosis. Oxidative/nitrosative stress is a critical link between neuroinflammation and neurodegeneration through poly (ADP) ribose polymerase (PARP) overactivation. Hence, the present study investigated the antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects of peroxynitrite decomposition catalyst; FeTMPyP in chronic constriction injury (CCI) of sciatic nerve-induced neuropathy in rats. CCI of the sciatic nerve manifested significant deficits in behavioral, biochemical, functional parameters and was markedly reversed by administration of FeTMPyP. After 14 days of CCI induction, oxidative/nitrosative stress and inflammatory markers such as iNOS, NF-kB, TNF-α and IL-6 were elevated in sciatic nerves of CCI rats along with depleted levels of ATP and elevated levels of poly (ADP) ribose (PAR) in both sciatic nerves in ipsilateral (L4-L5) dorsal root ganglions (DRG's), suggesting over activation of PARP. Additionally, CCI resulted in aberrations in mitochondrial function as evident by decreased Mn-SOD levels and respiratory complex activities with increased mitochondrial fission protein DRP-1. These changes were reversed by treatment with FeTMPyP (1 & 3 mg/kg, p.o.). Findings of this study suggest that FeTMPyP, by virtue of its antioxidant properties, reduced both PARP over-activation and subsequent neuroinflammation resulted in protection against CCI-induced functional, behavioral and biochemical deficits.

Front Neurol 2022; 13:820168. [PMID: 35401413 PMCID: PMC8993185 DOI: 10.3389/fneur.2022.820168] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/22/2021] [Accepted: 03/03/2022] [Indexed: 11/13/2022] Open
Abstract
Tuberculous meningitis (TBM) is the most severe form of extrapulmonary tuberculosis (TB) that arises when a caseating meningeal granuloma discharges its contents into the subarachnoid space. It accounts for ~1% of all disease caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis and the age of peak incidence is from 2-4 years. The exact pathogenesis of TBM is still not fully understood and the mechanism(s) by which the bacilli initially invade the blood-brain-barrier are still to be elucidated. This study investigated the involvement of the host genome in TBM susceptibility, by considering common variants (minor allele frequency (MAF) >5%) using microarray genotyping and rare variants (MAF <1%) via exome sequencing. A total of 123 TBM cases, 400 pulmonary TB (pTB) cases and 477 healthy controls were genotyped on the MEGA array. A genome-wide association study (GWAS) comparing 114 TBM cases to 395 healthy controls showed no association with TBM susceptibility. A second analysis comparing 114 TBM cases to 382 pTB cases was conducted to investigate variants associated with different TB phenotypes. No significant associations were found with progression from pTB to TBM. Ten TBM cases and 10 healthy controls were exome sequenced. Gene set association tests SKAT-O and SKAT Common Rare were used to assess the association of rare SNPs and the cumulative effect of both common and rare SNPs with susceptibility to TBM, respectively. Ingenuity Pathway Analysis (IPA) of the top-hits of the SKAT-O analysis showed that NOD2 and CYP4F2 are both important in TBM pathogenesis and highlighted these as targets for future study. For the SKAT Common Rare analysis Centriolar Coiled-Coil Protein 110 (CCP110) was nominally associated (p = 5.89x10-6) with TBM susceptibility. In addition, several top-hit genes ascribed to the development of the central nervous system (CNS) and innate immune system regulation were identified. Exome sequencing and GWAS of our TBM cohort has identified a single previously undescribed association of CCP110 with TBM susceptibility. These results advance our understanding of TBM in terms of both variants and genes that influence susceptibility. In addition, several candidate genes involved in innate immunity have been identified for further genotypic and functional investigation.

Abstract
NAD metabolism is essential for all forms of life. Compartmental regulation of NAD+ consumption, especially between the nucleus and the mitochondria, is required for energy homeostasis. However, how compartmental regulation evolved remains unclear. In the present study, we investigated the evolution of the macrodomain-containing histone variant macroH2A1.1, an integral chromatin component that limits nuclear NAD+ consumption by inhibiting poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase 1 in vertebrate cells. We found that macroH2A originated in premetazoan protists. The crystal structure of the macroH2A macrodomain from the protist Capsaspora owczarzaki allowed us to identify highly conserved principles of ligand binding and pinpoint key residue substitutions, selected for during the evolution of the vertebrate stem lineage. Metabolic characterization of the Capsaspora lifecycle suggested that the metabolic function of macroH2A was associated with nonproliferative stages. Taken together, we provide insight into the evolution of a chromatin element involved in compartmental NAD regulation, relevant for understanding its metabolism and potential therapeutic applications.

Abstract
ADP-ribosylation is a widespread posttranslational modification that is of particular therapeutic relevance due to its involvement in DNA repair. In response to DNA damage, PARP1 and 2 are the main enzymes that catalyze ADP-ribosylation at damage sites. Recently, serine was identified as the primary amino acid acceptor of the ADP-ribosyl moiety following DNA damage and appears to act as seed for chain elongation in this context. Serine-ADP-ribosylation strictly depends on HPF1, an auxiliary factor of PARP1/2, which facilitates this modification by completing the PARP1/2 active site. The signal is terminated by initial poly(ADP-ribose) chain degradation, primarily carried out by PARG, while another enzyme, (ADP-ribosyl)hydrolase 3 (ARH3), specifically cleaves the terminal seryl-ADP-ribosyl bond, thus completing the chain degradation initiated by PARG. This review summarizes recent findings in the field of serine-ADP-ribosylation, its mechanisms, possible functions and potential for therapeutic targeting through HPF1 and ARH3 inhibition.

Abstract
ADP-ribose (ADPr) readers are essential components of ADP-ribosylation signaling, which regulates genome maintenance and immunity. The identification and discrimination between monoADPr (MAR) and polyADPr (PAR) readers is difficult because of a lack of suitable affinity-enrichment reagents. We synthesized well-defined ADPr probes and used these for affinity purifications combined with relative and absolute quantitative mass spectrometry to generate proteome-wide MAR and PAR interactomes, including determination of apparent binding affinities. Among the main findings, MAR and PAR readers regulate various common and distinct processes, such as the DNA-damage response, cellular metabolism, RNA trafficking, and transcription. We monitored the dynamics of PAR interactions upon induction of oxidative DNA damage and uncovered the mechanistic connections between ubiquitin signaling and ADP-ribosylation. Taken together, chemical biology enables exploration of MAR and PAR readers using interaction proteomics. Furthermore, the generated MAR and PAR interaction maps significantly expand our current understanding of ADPr signaling.

Abstract
Signaling cascades provide integrative and interactive frameworks that allow the cell to respond to signals from its environment and/or from within the cell itself. The dynamic regulation of mammalian cell signaling pathways is often modulated by cascades of protein post-translational modifications (PTMs). ADP-ribosylation is a PTM that is catalyzed by ADP-ribosyltransferases and manifests as mono- (MARylation) or poly- (PARylation) ADP-ribosylation depending on the addition of one or multiple ADP-ribose units to protein substrates. ADP-ribosylation has recently emerged as an important cell regulator that impacts a plethora of cellular processes, including many intracellular signaling events. Here, we provide an overview of the interplay between the intracellular diphtheria toxin-like ADP-ribosyltransferase (ARTD) family members and five selected signaling pathways (including NF-κB, JAK/STAT, Wnt-β-catenin, MAPK, PI3K/AKT), which are frequently described to control or to be controlled by ADP-ribosyltransferases and how these interactions impact the cellular responses.

Abstract
Preserving genome integrity through repair of DNA damage is critical for human health and defects in these pathways lead to a variety of pathologies, most notably cancer. The social amoeba Dictyostelium discoideum is remarkably resistant to DNA damaging agents and genome analysis reveals it contains orthologs of several DNA repair pathway components otherwise limited to vertebrates. These include the Fanconi Anemia DNA inter-strand crosslink and DNA strand break repair pathways. Loss of function of these not only results in malignancy, but also neurodegeneration, immune-deficiencies and congenital abnormalities. Additionally, D. discoideum displays remarkable conservations of DNA repair factors that are targets in cancer and other therapies, including poly(ADP-ribose) polymerases that are targeted to treat breast and ovarian cancers. This, taken together with the genetic tractability of D. discoideum, make it an attractive model to assess the mechanistic basis of DNA repair to provide novel insights into how these pathways can be targeted to treat a variety of pathologies. Here we describe progress in understanding the mechanisms of DNA repair in D. discoideum, and how these impact on genome stability with implications for understanding development of malignancy.

Abstract
Vitamin B3 (nicotinic acid, niacin) deficiency causes the systemic disease pellagra, which leads to dermatitis, diarrhea, dementia, and possibly death depending on its severity and duration. Vitamin B3 is used in the synthesis of the NAD+ family of coenzymes, contributing to cellular energy metabolism and defense systems. Although nicotinamide (niacinamide) is primarily used as a nutritional supplement for vitamin B3, its pharmaceutical and cosmeceutical uses have been extensively explored. In this review, we discuss the biological activities and cosmeceutical properties of nicotinamide in consideration of its metabolic pathways. Supplementation of nicotinamide restores cellular NAD+ pool and mitochondrial energetics, attenuates oxidative stress and inflammatory response, enhances extracellular matrix and skin barrier, and inhibits the pigmentation process in the skin. Topical treatment of nicotinamide, alone or in combination with other active ingredients, reduces the progression of skin aging and hyperpigmentation in clinical trials. Topically applied nicotinamide is well tolerated by the skin. Currently, there is no convincing evidence that nicotinamide has specific molecular targets for controlling skin aging and pigmentation. This substance is presumed to contribute to maintaining skin homeostasis by regulating the redox status of cells along with various metabolites produced from it. Thus, it is suggested that nicotinamide will be useful as a cosmeceutical ingredient to attenuate skin aging and hyperpigmentation, especially in the elderly or patients with reduced NAD+ pool in the skin due to internal or external stressors.

Abstract
ADP-ribosylation (ADPR) is a posttranslational modification whose importance in oncology keeps increasing due to frequent use of PARP inhibitors (PARPi) to treat different tumor types. Due to the lack of suitable tools to analyze cellular ADPR levels, ADPR's significance for cancer progression and patient outcome is unclear. In this study, we assessed ADPR levels by immunohistochemistry using a newly developed anti-ADP-ribose (ADPr) antibody, which is able to detect both mono- and poly-ADPR. Tissue microarrays containing brain (n = 103), breast (n = 1108), colon (n = 236), lung (n = 138), ovarian (n = 142), and prostate (n = 328) cancers were used to correlate ADPR staining intensities to clinico-pathological data, including patient overall survival (OS), tumor grade, tumor stage (pT), lymph node status (pN), and the presence of distant metastasis (pM). While nuclear ADPR was detected only in a minority of the samples, cytoplasmic ADPR (cyADPR) staining was observed in most tumor types. Strong cyADPR intensities were significantly associated with better overall survival in invasive ductal breast cancer (p < 0.0001), invasive lobular breast cancer (p < 0.005), and high grade serous ovarian cancer patients (p < 0.01). Furthermore, stronger cytoplasmic ADPR levels significantly correlated with early tumor stage in colorectal and in invasive ductal breast adenocarcinoma (p < 0.0001 and p < 0.01, respectively) and with the absence of regional lymph node metastasis in colorectal adenocarcinoma (p < 0.05). No correlation to cyADPR was found for prostate and lung cancer or brain tumors. In conclusion, our new anti-ADP-ribose antibody revealed heterogeneous ADPR staining patterns with predominant cytoplasmic ADPR staining in most tumor types. Different cyADPR staining patterns could help to better understand variable response rates to PARP inhibitors in the future.

Abstract
ADP-ribosylation of nuclear proteins is a critical feature of various DNA damage repair pathways. Histones, particularly H3 and H2B, are major targets of ADP-ribosylation and are primarily modified on serine with a single ADP-ribose unit following DNA damage. While the overall impact of PARP1-dependent poly-ADP-ribosylation is heavily investigated, very little is known about the specific roles of histone ADP-ribosylation. Here, we report the development of an efficient and modular semisynthetic route to full-length ADP-ribosylated histones H3 and H2B, chemically installed at specific serine residues. The modified histones were used to generate various chemically defined ADP-ribosylated chromatin substrates, which were employed in biophysical assays. These studies revealed that ADP-ribosylation of serine-6 of histone H2B (H2BS6ADPr) inhibits chromatin folding and higher-order organization; notably, this effect was enhanced by ADP-ribosylation of H3S10. In addition, ADP-ribosylated nucleosomes were utilized in biochemical experiments employing a panel of lysine methyltransferase enzymes, revealing a context-dependent inhibition of histone H3K9 methylation. The availability of designer ADP-ribosylated chromatin described here is expected to facilitate further biochemical and structural studies regarding the roles of histone ADP-ribosylation in the DNA damage response.

Abstract
eEF1A1 and eEF1A2 are paralogous proteins whose presence in most normal eukaryotic cells is mutually exclusive and developmentally regulated. Often described in the scientific literature under the collective name eEF1A, which stands for eukaryotic elongation factor 1A, their best known activity (in a monomeric, GTP-bound conformation) is to bind aminoacyl-tRNAs and deliver them to the A-site of the 80S ribosome. However, both eEF1A1 and eEF1A2 are endowed with multitasking abilities (sometimes performed by homo- and heterodimers) and can be located in different subcellular compartments, from the plasma membrane to the nucleus. Given the high sequence identity of these two sister proteins and the large number of post-translational modifications they can undergo, we are often confronted with the dilemma of discerning which is the particular proteoform that is actually responsible for the ascribed biochemical or cellular effects. We argue in this review that acquiring this knowledge is essential to help clarify, in molecular and structural terms, the mechanistic involvement of these two ancestral and abundant G proteins in a variety of fundamental cellular processes other than translation elongation. Of particular importance for this special issue is the fact that several de novo heterozygous missense mutations in the human EEF1A2 gene are associated with a subset of rare but severe neurological syndromes and cardiomyopathies.
