A convergent synthesis provided nearly perfect τ-ADP-ribosylated histidine isosteres (His*-τ-ADPr) via a copper(I)-catalyzed cycloaddition between an azido-ADP-ribosyl analogue and an oligopeptide carrying a propargyl glycine. Both α- and β-configured azido-ADP-ribosyl analogues have been synthesized. The former required participation of the C-2 ester functionality during glycosylation, while the latter was obtained in high stereoselectivity from an imidate donor with a nonparticipating -methoxy benzyl ether. Four His*-τ-ADPr peptides were screened against a library of human ADP-ribosyl hydrolases.

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.

Poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase-2 (PARP2) belongs to the ADP-ribosyltransferase family of enzymes that catalyze the addition of ADP-ribose units to acceptor proteins, thus affecting many diverse cellular processes. In particular, PARP2 shares with PARP1 and, as recently highlighted, PARP3 the sole property of being catalytically activated by DNA-strand breaks, implying key downstream functions in the cellular response to DNA damage for both enzymes. However, evidence from several studies suggests unique functions for PARP2 in additional processes, possibly mediated through its basal, DNA-damage unstimulated ADP-ribosylating activity.
