Mono-ADP-ribosylation is a dynamic posttranslational modification (PTM) with important roles in signaling. Mammalian proteins that recognize or hydrolyze mono-ADP-ribosylated proteins have been described. We report the synthesis of ADP-ribosylated peptides from the proteins histone H2B, RhoA and, HNP-1. An innovative procedure was applied that makes use of pre-phosphorylated amino acid building blocks. Binding assays revealed that the macrodomains of human MacroD2 and TARG1 exhibit distinct specificities for the different ADP-ribosylated peptides, thus showing that the sequence surrounding ADP-ribosylated residues affects the substrate selectivity of macrodomains.

ADP-ribosylation is a complex post-translational modification involved in key physiological processes and associated with various health and disease states. The growing interest in ADP-ribosylation necessitates straightforward and efficient synthetic methods for the preparation of ADP-ribosylated peptides/proteins. In this study, we report a facile reaction between nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) and alcohols promoted by a combination of ionic liquids, yielding up to 94% with α:β ratios ranging from 88:12 to 99:1 and a switchable configuration selectivity.

Adenosine diphosphate (ADP)-ribosylation is a ubiquitous post-translational modification that regulates vital biological processes like histone reorganization and DNA-damage repair through the modification of various amino acid residues. Due to advances in mass-spectrometry, the collection of long-known ADP-ribose (ADPr) acceptor sites, e. g.

Protein ADP-ribosylation plays important but ill-defined roles in antiviral signalling cascades such as the interferon response. Several viruses of clinical interest, including coronaviruses, express hydrolases that reverse ADP-ribosylation catalysed by host enzymes, suggesting an important role for this modification in host-pathogen interactions. However, which ADP-ribosyltransferases mediate host ADP-ribosylation, what proteins and pathways they target and how these modifications affect viral infection and pathogenesis is currently unclear.

Poly(ADP-ribose) polymerases (PARPs) are critical to regulating cellular activities, such as the response to DNA damage and cell death. PARPs catalyze a reversible post-translational modification (PTM) in the form of mono- or poly(ADP-ribosyl)ation. This type of modification is known to form a ubiquitin-ADP-ribose (Ub-ADPR) conjugate that depends on the actions of Deltex family of E3 ubiquitin ligases (DTXs).

Monocyte-derived dendritic cells (MDDCs) are key players in the defense against fungal infection because of their outstanding capacity for non-opsonic phagocytosis and phenotypic plasticity. Accordingly, MDDCs rewire metabolism to meet the energetic demands for microbial killing and biomass synthesis required to restore homeostasis. It has been commonplace considering the metabolic reprogramming a mimicry of the Warburg effect observed in tumor cells.
