The invention provides nucleic acids encoding PARP fusion proteins, PARP fusion proteins, antibodies that bind to one or more of these PARP fusion proteins, and transgenic cells expressing one or more PARP fusion proteins. The invention also provides methods for identifying an agent as a specific PARP inhibitor or activator requiring contacting one or more PARP fusion proteins with a labeled nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide substrate and the agent and measuring the amount of labeled of ADP-ribose covalently attached to the one or more PARP fusion proteins. The invention also provides methods for identifying an agent that specifically binds to one or more PARP fusion proteins and methods for quantitating the level of one or more PARP proteins in a sample.
A collection of PARP fusion proteins encoded by four or more nucleic acid sequences comprising:
A solid surface comprising at least four discrete locations, the at least four discrete locations comprising a different PARP fusion protein from one another, the PARP fusion proteins encoded by 4 or more nucleic acid sequences comprising:
