Mono-ADP-ribosylation as a degradation mark?

The interplay between ADP-ribosylation and ubiquitination, mediated by PARP7 and DTX2 proteins, can serve as a rapid AHR transcription “off-switch” through proteasomal degradation.

Akin to bacterial SIR2 antiphage proteins, human SIRal, also known as FAM118b, forms filaments that are essential for its NAD processing activity. Awesome to see structures of these filaments that differ from bacterial ones. Congrats to the authors on this beautiful study.
