Stimulating monocytes/macrophages with bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS) results in TNF-alpha, IL-1, IL-6 and nitrite (NO2-) formation. Inhibitors of poly(ADP-ribose)polymerase inhibit release of these mediators by preventing mRNA expression indicating that ADP-ribosylation plays a crucial role in the synthesis of these mediators.

3-Methoxybenzamide (3-MBA), which is known to be an inhibitor of ADP-ribosyltransferase, inhibits cell division in Bacillus subtilis, leading to filamentation and eventually lysis of cells. Our genetic analysis of 3-MBA-resistant mutants indicated that the primary target of the drug is
Regulation of P(1)450 gene expression in mouse hepatocytes from responsive (C57BL/6) and non-responsive (DBA/2) strains in primary culture was investigated with respect to aryl hydrocarbon hydroxylase (AHH) activity and P450 transcript levels. Although significant induction of AHH activity in C57BL/6

ADP-ribosylation of core histones was investigated in isolated nuclei of Physarum polycephalum. Core histone species differed in the mode of modification. Whereas ADP-ribosylation of H2A and H2B is sensitive to inhibition by 3-methoxybenzamide, as with most other nuclear acceptor proteins

In the infant brain, ischemia-induced ionic and enzyme mechanisms may independently lead to cell death by energy depletion: resequestration of calcium mobilized from intracellular stores consumes ATP, and activated poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) uses oxidized nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide to form polyADP-ribosyl
