I'm very excited to be able to share the latest work from our group with you:

doi.org/10.1038/s443...

We find that PARP7 is stabilised following proteotoxic stress and ADP-ribosylates proteins to enable their degradation. This occurs in a ubiquitin-dependent manner.

PARP7 is a proteotoxic stress sensor that labels proteins for degradation | The EMBO Journal

imageimageADP-ribosylation is thought to occur on specific sites to affect specific characteristics of target proteins. Here, it is found to play a more promiscuous role, with PARP7 labelling proteins for efficient degradation during proteotoxic ...
