Who Put the "A" in ATP? Generation of ATP from ADP-Ribose in the Nucleus for Hormone-Dependent Gene Regulation

Mol Cell. 2016 Aug 4;63(3):349-51. doi: 10.1016/j.molcel.2016.07.018.

Abstract

In a recent issue of Science, Wright et al. (2016) describe a pathway for the synthesis of nuclear ATP, leading from NAD(+) to poly(ADP-ribose) to ADP-ribose to ATP, which supports the activity of ATP-dependent chromatin remodeling enzymes during hormone-dependent transcription.
