Abstract

ADP-ribosylation is a post-translational modification of proteins that plays a key role in various cellular processes, including DNA repair. Recently, significant progress has been made in understanding the mechanism and function of ADP-ribosylation in DNA repair. ADP-ribosylation can regulate the recruitment and activity of DNA repair proteins by facilitating protein–protein interactions and regulating protein conformations. Moreover, ADP-ribosylation can influence additional post-translational modifications (PTMs) of proteins involved in DNA repair, such as ubiquitination, methylation, acetylation, phosphorylation, and SUMOylation. The interaction between ADP-ribosylation and these additional PTMs can fine-tune the activity of DNA repair proteins and ensure the proper execution of the DNA repair process. In addition, PARP inhibitors have been developed as a promising cancer therapeutic strategy by exploiting the dependence of certain cancer types on the PARP-mediated DNA repair pathway. In this paper, we review the progress of ADP-ribosylation in DNA repair, discuss the crosstalk of ADP-ribosylation with additional PTMs in DNA repair, and summarize the progress of PARP inhibitors in cancer therapy.
