“…These PARPs are implicated in the regulation of numerous DNA repair pathways, and PARP activation on DNA damage sites appears to have a dual function, for example, local PAR synthesis for recruitment of repair enzymes and trans-PARylation of repair factors [ 3 , 6 , 7 , 8 , 9 ]. Although PARP1 has been found to be a major acceptor of PAR during its own activation [ 10 , 11 ], to date, approximately 2389 proteins have been identified as PARylation targets after different types of genotoxic stress [ 12 ]. Even though numerous PARP targets have been found, many of them can both be modified by PAR and/or directly interact with the PAR synthesised by PARPs [ 1 , 8 , 13 , 14 , 15 ].…”
