Descriptions

PARP2, also known as ARTD2, is an enzyme that becomes activated by DNA damage, specifically by 5′-phosphorylated DNA ends. It catalyzes poly-ADP-ribosylation, a post-translational modification involved in DNA repair processes. PARP2 plays a crucial role in DNA damage detection and repair, with its activity being essential for maintaining genomic stability and proper cellular function in response to genotoxic stress. In its inactive state, PARP2’s regulatory domain (RD) covers the active site, preventing substrate NAD+ binding. DNA damage recognition leads to RD unfolding and reorganization, enabling the enzyme to access and modify target macromolecules for ADP-ribosylation. The activation of PARP2 by DNA damage induces significant conformational changes in the enzyme, which relieve its autoinhibited state. This allows PARP2 to bind NAD+ and histone PARylation factor 1 (HPF1), altering its residue specificity during DNA repair.

8 GO annotations of cellular component

Name Definition
Cajal body A class of nuclear body, first seen after silver staining by Ramon y Cajal in 1903, enriched in small nuclear ribonucleoproteins, and certain general RNA polymerase II transcription factors; ultrastructurally, they appear as a tangle of coiled, electron-dense threads roughly 0.5 micrometers in diameter; involved in aspects of snRNP biogenesis; the protein coilin serves as a marker for Cajal bodies. Some argue that Cajal bodies are the sites for preassembly of transcriptosomes, unitary particles involved in transcription and processing of RNA.
chromosome A structure composed of a very long molecule of DNA and associated proteins (e.g. histones) that carries hereditary information.
euchromatin A dispersed and relatively uncompacted form of chromatin that is in a transcription-competent conformation.
histone locus body A nuclear body associated with the histone gene locus that is thought to contain all of the factors necessary for histone mRNA transcription and pre-mRNA processing. In Drosophila, U7 snRNP is located in the histone locus body rather than the distinct Cajal body.
nucleolus A small, dense body one or more of which are present in the nucleus of eukaryotic cells. It is rich in RNA and protein, is not bounded by a limiting membrane, and is not seen during mitosis. Its prime function is the transcription of the nucleolar DNA into 45S ribosomal-precursor RNA, the processing of this RNA into 5.8S, 18S, and 28S components of ribosomal RNA, and the association of these components with 5S RNA and proteins synthesized outside the nucleolus. This association results in the formation of ribonucleoprotein precursors; these pass into the cytoplasm and mature into the 40S and 60S subunits of the ribosome.
polytene chromosome A type of chromosome in a polyploid cell, formed when multiple copies of homologous chromosomes are aligned side by side to give a giant chromosome in which distinct chromosome bands are readily visible.
polytene chromosome puff A swelling at a site along the length of a polytene chromosome, thought to be the site of active transcription.
site of DNA damage A region of a chromosome at which DNA damage has occurred. DNA damage signaling and repair proteins accumulate at the lesion to respond to the damage and repair the DNA to form a continuous DNA helix.

8 GO annotations of molecular function

Name Definition
DNA binding Any molecular function by which a gene product interacts selectively and non-covalently with DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid).
histone binding Binding to a histone, any of a group of water-soluble proteins found in association with the DNA of eukaryotic or archaeal chromosomes. They are involved in the condensation and coiling of chromosomes during cell division and have also been implicated in gene regulation and DNA replication. They may be chemically modified (methylated, acetlyated and others) to regulate gene transcription.
NAD binding Binding to nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide, a coenzyme involved in many redox and biosynthetic reactions; binding may be to either the oxidized form, NAD+, or the reduced form, NADH.
NAD+ ADP-ribosyltransferase activity Catalysis of the reaction
NAD+-protein ADP-ribosyltransferase activity Catalysis of the reaction
NAD+-protein-serine ADP-ribosyltransferase activity Catalysis of the reaction
nucleotidyltransferase activity Catalysis of the transfer of a nucleotidyl group to a reactant.
zinc ion binding Binding to a zinc ion (Zn).
