Serine ADP-Ribosylation Depends on HPF1
Juan José Bonfiglio,Pietro Fontana,Qi Zhang,Thomas Colby,Ian Gibbs-Seymour,Ilian Atanassov,Edward Bartlett,Roko Zaja,Ivan Ahel,Ivan Matic +9 more
TL;DR: It is reported that serine ADPr is strictly dependent on histone PARylation factor 1 (HPF1), a recently identified regulator of PARP-1, and proposed that O-linked protein AD Pr is the key signal in PARP/PARP-2-dependent processes that govern genome stability.

Serine is a new target residue for endogenous ADP-ribosylation on histones
Orsolya Leidecker,Juan José Bonfiglio,Thomas Colby,Qi Zhang,Ilian Atanassov,Roko Zaja,Luca Palazzo,Anna Stockum,Ivan Ahel,Ivan Matic +9 more
TL;DR: This work has identified 12 unique ADPr sites in human osteosarcoma cells and report serine ADPr as a new type of histone mark that responds to DNA damage.
Characterization of glutathione-S-transferases in zebrafish (Danio rerio).
Branka Glisic,Ivan Mihaljević,Marta Popović,Roko Zaja,Jovica Lončar,Karl Fent,Radmila Kovacevic,Tvrtko Smital +7 more
TL;DR: This study provides the first comprehensive analysis of GST superfamily in zebrafish, presents new insight into distinct functions of individual Gsts, and offers methodological protocols that can be used for further verification of interaction of environmental contaminants with fish Gsts.

Luca Palazzo,Benjamin Thomas,Ann-Sofie Jemth,Thomas Colby,Orsolya Leidecker,Karla L. H. Feijs,Roko Zaja,Olga Loseva,Jordi Carreras Puigvert,Ivan Matic,Thomas Helleday,Ivan Ahel +11 more
TL;DR: Human Nudix (nucleoside diphosphate-linked moiety X)-type motif 16 (hNUDT16) represents a new enzyme class that can process protein ADP-ribosylation in vitro, converting it into ribose-5'-phosphate (R5P) tags covalently attached to the modified proteins.
Gene expression analysis of the ABC efflux transporters in rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss).
TL;DR: This study offers the first thorough insight into distribution pattern of (eco)toxicologically relevant ABC transporters, serving as a necessary base for further studies directed to better understanding of physiological and/or protective role of ABC transportters in fish.
