Zusammenfassung:: Poly(ADP‐ribose) polymerase associated with free cytoplasmic messenger ribonucleoprotein particles (free mRNP particles) carrying messenger RNA has been characterized in rat brain. There were first‐order kinetics for NAD with an apparent Km for NAD of 90.5 ± 0.70 μM and Vmax of 19.7 ± 2.8 pmol ADP‐ribose incorporated min‐1 mg protein‐1. Five poly(ADP‐ribose) protein acceptors were identified in the Mr 37,000–120,000 range. It is hypothesized that ADP‐ribosylation of specific free mRNP proteins might play a role in the derepression and translation of the silent mRNAs of free mRNP particles.
