Structural basis for inhibitor specificity in human poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase-3.
2009
Poly(ADP-ribose) polymerases (PARPs) activate DNA repair mechanisms upon stress- and cytotoxin-induced DNA damage, and inhibition of PARP activity is a lead in cancer drug therapy. We present a structural and functional analysis of the PARP domain of human PARP-3 in complex with several inhibitors. Of these, KU0058948 is the strongest inhibitor of PARP-3 activity. The presented crystal structures highlight key features for potent inhibitor binding and suggest routes for creating isoenzyme-specific PARP inhibitors.
