Abstract
Poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase 1 (PARP1) is a crucial member of the PARP family, which modifies targets through ADP-ribosylation and plays key roles in a variety of biological processes. PARP inhibitors (PARPis) hinder ADP-ribosylation and lead to the retention of PARP1 at the DNA lesion (also known as trapping), which underlies their toxicity. However, inhibitors and mutations that make PARP1 inactive do not necessarily correlate with trapping potency, challenging the current understanding of inactivation-caused trapping. Recent studies on mouse models indicate that both trapping and non-trapping inactivating mutations of PARP1 lead to embryonic lethality, suggesting the unexpected toxicity of the current inhibition strategy. The allosteric model, complicated automodification, and various biological functions of PARP1 all contribute to the complexity of PARP1 inactivation.
期刊介绍:
Launched in 1985, Trends in Genetics swiftly established itself as a "must-read" for geneticists, offering concise, accessible articles covering a spectrum of topics from developmental biology to evolution. This reputation endures, making TiG a cherished resource in the genetic research community. While evolving with the field, the journal now embraces new areas like genomics, epigenetics, and computational genetics, alongside its continued coverage of traditional subjects such as transcriptional regulation, population genetics, and chromosome biology.
Despite expanding its scope, the core objective of TiG remains steadfast: to furnish researchers and students with high-quality, innovative reviews, commentaries, and discussions, fostering an appreciation for advances in genetic research. Each issue of TiG presents lively and up-to-date Reviews and Opinions, alongside shorter articles like Science & Society and Spotlight pieces. Invited from leading researchers, Reviews objectively chronicle recent developments, Opinions provide a forum for debate and hypothesis, and shorter articles explore the intersection of genetics with science and policy, as well as emerging ideas in the field. All articles undergo rigorous peer-review.
