The enzyme poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase-1 also called PARP-1, is a member of the PARP family, a group of 18 enzymes that transfer ADP-ribose groups onto various substrate proteins. This mechanism called PARylation, exerts profound regulatory effects on many physiological and pathological processes. Among [...]

esm3F1T02019-10-21T22:46:56+02:00January2018 The histone demethylase Jumonji domain-containing protein 3 (JMJD3) regulates fibroblast activation in systemic sclerosis. In this article, the authors explored the role of the Jumonji domain-containing protein 3 (JMJD3) and the ubiquitously transcribed tetratricopeptide repeat on chromosome X (UTX), two highly specific histone–demethylases which could participate to the constitutively activated state of SSc fibroblasts.
