Abstract
Protein poly-ADP-ribosylation (PARylation) is a heterogeneous and dynamic post-translational modification regulated by various writers, readers, and erasers. It participates in a variety of biological events and is involved in many human diseases. Currently, tools and technologies have yet to be developed for unambiguously defining readers and erasers of individual PARylated proteins or cognate PARylated proteins for known readers and erasers. Here, we report the generation of a bifunctional nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) characterized by diazirine-modified adenine and clickable ribose. By serving as an excellent substrate for poly-ADP-ribose polymerase 1 (PARP1)-catalyzed PARylation, the generated bifunctional NAD+ enables photo-cross-linking and enrichment of PARylation-dependent interacting proteins for proteomic identification. This bifunctional NAD+ provides an important tool for mapping cellular interaction networks centered on protein PARylation, which are essential for elucidating the roles of PARylation-based signals or activities in physiological and pathophysiological processes.
