| PF00645 | Poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase and DNA-Ligase Zn-finger region | domain |
Poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase is an important regulatory component of the cellular response to DNA damage. The amino-terminal region of Poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase consists of two PARP-type zinc fingers. This region acts as a DNA nick sensor.
