  • in the nucleus during interphase
  • during mitosis, localizes to the cytoplasm, in the centrosome
  • basic FUNCTION
  • poly ADP-ribose glycohydrolase, responsible for rapid turnover for ADP-ribose polymer
  • may play an important role in regulating cell cycle progression and centrosome duplication
  • specific involvement of PARG in the cellular response to oxidative DNA damage
  • is a novel and critical component of SSBR (single-strand break repair) that accelerates this process in concert with PARP1
  • catabolic enzyme that cleaves ADP-ribose polymers synthesized by members of the poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) family of enzymes
  • PARP or PARG is associated with the neuronal death in a variety of neurodegenerative diseases
  • PARP1 and PARG regulates various cellular processes in response to genotoxic stress (
  • only protein capable of specific hydrolysis of the ribose-ribose bonds present in PAR (Poly(ADP-ribose) chains, and its deficiency leads to cell death
  • probably has influence on ATM/TP53 pathway and metabolic activation of Benzo(a)pyrene
  • removes poly(ADP-ribose) subunits from proteins that have previously been modified by poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase

    protein
  • interacts with PCNA, through a PCNA binding site and binding to PCNA contributes to PARG recruitment to DNA damage sites
  • PARG has been thought to be primarily responsible for poly(ADP-ribose) (PAR) degradation
