Poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase-1 modulates DNA repair capacity and prevents formation of DNA double strand breaks.

Although poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase-1 (PARP-1) has no enzymatic activity involved in DNA damage processing by the base excision repair (BER) pathway, PARP-1 deficient cells are genetically unstable and sensitive to DNA-damaging agents. To explain this paradox, we investigated the impact of PARP-1 o...
