Interestingly, the affinity of APLF for pADPr is in the same range than that of CHFR, despite the fact that it has two PBZ. |
T67 |

These observations are in line with the structural details of CHFR and APLF, which strongly suggested that the CHFR PBZ and the PBZ1 domain of APLF are able to interact with two consecutive ADPr moieties in pADPr while the second PBZ of APLF probably binds only one (Oberoi et al., 2010) . |
T68 |

Epistemic_statement |
denotes |
The binding of viral macro domains to ADPr is at least 10-fold lower (K D of the severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) coronavirus is 24 lM, that of hepatitis E virus above 50 lM) but interactions with pADPr have been shown by polymer blot assays (Egloff et al., 2006; Neuvonen and Ahola, 2009) . |

Therefore, despite minimal sequence similarity between the typical macro domain and PARG, part of the PARG catalytic domain adopts this characteristic macro fold organization in which the PARG sequence signature GGG-X 6-8 -QEE lines the ADP-ribose binding pocket. |
T87 |
37685-37901 |
Epistemic_statement |
