Mechanism

Poly-ADP-Ribose Binding Motif

A protein motif 22 to 26 amino acids in length that binds POLY(ADP RIBOSE) polymers through non-covalent interactions. It is characterized by basic and hydrophobic residues that frequently include ALANINE; VALINE; ISOLEUCINE; or LEUCINE and flank LYSINE and ARGININE amino acids.
