NAD+ ADP-ribosyltransferase
ADP-ribosyltransferase is a eukaryotic DNA binding protein that participates in cell recovery after DNA damage, particularly in base excision repair. After activation by binding to DNA strand-breaks it modifies itself (automodification) and other nuclear proteins (heteromodification) involved in chromatin architecture and DNA metabolism by covalent attachment of ADP-ribose units of NAD+ forming extended and branched polymers.

Enzyme Mechanism
Introduction
Glutamate deprotonates the 2' OH of the ADP-D-ribosyl-acceptor. The oxyanion then initiates a nucleophilic attack on the ribose carbon of ADP covalently attacked to the nicotinamide ring in a substitution reaction, eliminating nicotinamide with concomitant deprotonation of Glu988
Catalytic Residues Roles
| UniProt | PDB* (1a26) | ||
| Tyr904 | Tyr907(254)A | Has a non-polar interaction with the donor's pyridine ring and a hydrogen bond to the 3' OH of the acceptor - these are important for positioning the substrates to prevent attack in the wrong position. The 3' OH of the adenine-ribose is known to be required for full elongation. | van der waals interaction, hydrogen bond donor, electrostatic stabiliser |
| Glu985 | Glu988(335)A | Deprotonates incoming acceptor and increases its nucleophilicity, and polarises the donor and acceptor by hydrogen bonding. | hydrogen bond acceptor, hydrogen bond donor, proton acceptor, proton donor, electrostatic stabiliser |
| Ser901 | Ser904(251)A | Stabilises and binds the nicotinamide portion of the substrate. | electrostatic stabiliser |
