A Potent and Selective PARP11 Inhibitor Suggests Coupling between Cellular Localization and Catalytic Activity

Poly-ADP-ribose polymerases (PARPs1-16) play pivotal roles in diverse cellular processes. PARPs that catalyze poly-ADP-ribosylation (PARylation) are the best characterized PARP family members because of the availability of potent and selective inhibitors for these PARPs. There has been comparatively little success in developing selective small-molecule inhibitors of PARPs that catalyze mono-ADP-ribosylation (MARylation), limiting our...
