Development and characterization of recombinant ADP-ribose binding reagents that allow simultaneous detection of mono and poly ADP-ribose.

ABSTRACT: ADP-ribosylation (ADPRylation) is a post-translational modification (PTM) of proteins mediated by the activity of a variety of ADP-ribosyltransferase (ART) enzymes, such as the Poly (ADP-ribose) Polymerase (PARP) family of proteins. This PTM is diverse in both form and biological functions, which makes it a highly interesting modification, but difficult to study due to limitations in reagents available to detect the diversity of ADPRylation. Recently we developed a set of recombinant antibody-like ADP-ribose (ADPR) binding proteins using naturally occurring ADPR binding domains (ARBDs), including macrodomains and WWE domains, functionalized by fusion to the constant "Fc" region of rabbit immunoglobulin. Herein, we present an expansion of this biological toolkit, where we have replaced the
