title: Equilibrium model in an in vitro poly(ADP-ribose) turnover system.
abstract: Poly(ADP-ribose) metabolism plays an important role in numerous DNA-related functions. This homopolymer is synthesized by poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase and is degraded mainly by the poly(ADP-ribose) glycohydrolase. The activities of these two enzymes in the nucleus are closely coordinated. To better understand the interactions between these enzymes, we designed an in vitro system in which both enzymes are present at the same time. In this work, we report a model describing the synthesis and degradation of the poly(ADP-ribose) in turnover conditions. Because the half-life of the polymer in the cell is close to 1 min, we studied the very early kinetic interactions of these two enzymes.
