Dr. Cardamone’s work on Mitochondrial PARylation on Biorxiv
Many years ago we began working on an unknown protein named KIAA1787, now known as NEURL4. Here we report our studies on its role as a mitochondrial ADP-ribosyltransferase and a new member of the ARTD family: https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2020.12.28.424513v1. We are very excited about this finding and look forward to hearing comments and feedback.
Congratulations to Dr. Chan!
