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.

Interaction of HBx through its BH3-like motif with the anti-apoptotic protein Bcl-x<sub>L</sub> leads to HBV replication and induction of apoptosis, resulting in HCC development.
