Abstract
ADP-ribosylation of proteins was originally discovered in 1966 by Chambon et al. (1966), who detected polymers of ADP-ribose attached to protein substrates. Since that time, protein ADP-ribosylation has been identified in a diverse range of species, from bacteria to human, as well as within virtually every cellular compartment (Hilz et al., 1984; Ueda and Hayaishi, 1985; Ogura et al, 1990; Williamson and Moss, 1990; Aktories and Wegner, 1992). In general, ADP-ribosylation is a posttranslational modification in which one or more ADP-ribose moieties are transferred from a nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) donor to an amino acid acceptor. It is important to note that NAD+ is a substrate in this process rather than a cofactor as it is in many enzyme reactions.
