The ways of PARP.
Two papers in this issue of Cell describe two roles of poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) in modulating chromatin structure: as a structural component replacing linker histone (Kim et al., 2004) and as a constituent of a corepressor complex poised to dismiss repression upon receipt of an activating signal (Ju et al., 2004).
