Poly ADP-ribose polymerases (PARPs) catalyze ADP-ribosylation, a subclass of post-translational modification (PTM). Mono-ADP-ribose (MAR) moieties bind to target molecules such as proteins and nucleic acids, and are added as part of the process which also leads to formation of polymer chains of ADP-ribose. ADP-ribosylation is reversible; its removal is carried out by ribosyl hydrolases such as PARG (poly ADP-ribose glycohydrolase), TARG (terminal ADP-ribose protein glycohydrolase), macrodomain, etc. In this study, the catalytic domain of Aedes aegypti tankyrase was expressed in bacteria and purified. The tankyrase PARP catalytic domain was found to be enzymatically active, as demonstrated by an in vitro poly ADP-ribosylation (PARylation) experiment. Using in vitro ADP-ribosylation assay, we further demonstrate that the chikungunya virus (CHIKV) nsp3 (non-structural protein 3) macrodomain inhibits ADP-ribosylation in a time-dependent way. We have also demonstrated that transfection of the CHIKV nsP3 macrodomain increases the CHIKV viral titer in mosquito cells, suggesting that ADP-ribosylation may play a significant role in viral replication.
