Determining how the evolution of the coronavirus macrodomain contributes to its biochemica — NSF Award to University of Kansas Cen

This project explores how macrodomain proteins have evolved to balance their different multiple biochemical activities. Macrodomains are ancient enzymes that bind to and remove ADP-ribose, an important post-translation modification that is critical in several cellular stress responses, including DNA damage, ER stress,

AbstractThis project explores how macrodomain proteins have evolved to balance their different multiple biochemical activities. Macrodomains are ancient enzymes that bind to and remove ADP-ribose, an important post-translation modification that is critical in several cellular stress responses, including DNA damage, ER stress, and virus infection. These enzymes are conserved through all domains of life, including archaea, bacteria, eukaryotes, and viruses, indicating that they are critical for multiple c
