PARP, a 116kD nuclear poly (ADPribose) polymerase, appears to be involved in DNA repair predominantly in response to environmental stress (1).
This protein can be cleaved by many ICElike caspases in vitro (2,3) and is one of the main cleavage targets of caspase-3 in vivo (4,5).
In human PARP the cleavage occurs between Asp214 and Gly215, which separates PARP’s N-terminal DNA binding domain (24kD) from its C-terminal catalytic domain (89kD) (2,4).
PARP is important for cells to maintain their viability; cleavage of PARP facilitates cellular disassembly and serves as a marker of cells undergoing apoptosis (6).
