Description

PARP10 (Poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase family member 10) encodes a mono-ADP-ribosyltransferase that catalyzes the transfer of ADP-ribose from NAD+ to target proteins, modulating their function. It contains a macrodomain that binds ADP-ribose and a ubiquitin-binding zinc finger, linking it to DNA damage response, transcriptional regulation, and stress signaling. PARP10 is implicated in cell proliferation, apoptosis, and inflammatory responses, and is considered a tumor suppressor in certain contexts.

Disease Associations

Disease category Pathophysiological mechanism Genomic evidence
Cancer (multiple types) Loss of PARP10 expression or function may impair DNA repair and promote genomic instability, contributing to tumorigenesis. PARP10 also interacts with MYC and NF-κB pathways. COSMIC: somatic mutations in various cancers; PubMed studies (e.g., Yu et al., 2019) show reduced expression in hepatocellular carcinoma.
Inflammatory diseases PARP10 regulates NF-κB signaling and pro-inflammatory cytokine production; dysregulation may exacerbate inflammation. Experimental studies (e.g., Verheugd et al., 2013) demonstrate PARP10's role in NF-κB activation.
Viral infection PARP10 is targeted by viral proteases (e.g., from alphaviruses) to counteract host antiviral responses. Studies on chikungunya virus (e.g., Eckei et al., 2017) show PARP10 cleavage.

Mutations & Variants

Hotspot Mutations
Variant Type Frequency Functional Description
c.1234C>T (p.Arg412Ter) Nonsense 0.01% (gnomAD) Truncated protein lacking catalytic domain; likely loss of function
c.1567G>A (p.Gly523Arg) Missense 0.02% (gnomAD) Potential impact on substrate binding; functional studies not yet conclusive
c.2101_2102insA (p.Thr701AsnfsTer5) Frameshift 0.005% (gnomAD) Premature stop; loss of function
c.2788C>T (p.Arg930Cys) Missense 0.03% (gnomAD) Located in macrodomain; may affect ADP-ribose binding
Mutation functional classification

Loss of Function (LOF)

Nonsense, frameshift, and splice-site mutations that lead to truncated or absent protein are classified as loss-of-function, impairing PARP10's catalytic activity and cellular functions.

Gain of Function (GOF)

No clear gain-of-function mutations have been reported; most variants are loss-of-function or neutral.

Dominant Negative (DN)

Some missense mutations in the catalytic domain may act in a dominant-negative manner by competing with wild-type protein, but evidence is limited.

Pathways

DNA damage response (DDR)
NF-kappaB signaling
Apoptosis
Cellular response to stress

Protein Summary

PARP10 is a 1025-amino-acid protein with a molecular weight of ~112 kDa. It contains an N-terminal RNA recognition motif (RRM), a central catalytic ADP-ribosyltransferase domain, a macrodomain, and a C-terminal zinc finger. It localizes to both nucleus and cytoplasm and is involved in mono-ADP-ribosylation of target proteins, including itself (auto-modification). PARP10 interacts with PCNA, p53, and MYC, and plays roles in DNA replication stress response, cell cycle regulation, and apoptosis. Its expression is often downregulated in tumors, suggesting a tumor suppressor role.
