PARP (ADP-Ribose) Polymerase (PARP) is a 113 kD nuclear protein important for mediating the normal cellular response to DNA damage and repair in response to environmental stress. PARP catalyzes the transfer of ADP-ribose units from NAD⁺ to various nuclear proteins, including topoisomerases, histones, and PARP itself, by poly(ADP-ribosyl)ation. Following DNA damage, this protein is cleaved by ICE-like caspases, such as caspase-3 and -7. In humans, this PARP cleavage occurs between Asp214 and Gly215, yielding an 89 kD (from the carboxy-terminal catalytic domain) and a 24 kD fragment (from the amino-terminal DNA binding domain). PARP is an important regulator of cellular differentiation, proliferation, and tumor transformation, and PARP cleavage is considered a classical characteristic of cells undergoing apoptosis. Additionally, this enzyme may be the site of mutation in Fanconi anemia, and may contribute to the pathophysiology of type I diabetes.
