Pathogenic ARH3 mutations result in ADP-ribose chromatin scars during DNA strand break repair
Abstract
Defects in DNA single-strand break repair are associated with neurodegenerative disease. Here the authors reveal that mutations in ARH3 interfere with the catabolism of mono-(ADP-ribose) and lead to its accumulation on core histones following repair of endogenous or exogenous DNA single-strand breaks.
