TiPARP/ARTD14 exhibits auto-mono-ADP-ribosyltransferase activity and ribosylates core histones in vitro. RNAi-mediated knockdown of TiPARP increased TCDD-dependent CYP1A1 and CYP1B1 mRNA expression and AHR recruitment to both genes. TiPARP and AHR co-localized in the nucleus, directly interacted, and both were recruited to CYP1A1 in response to TCDD. TiPARP-mediated inhibition of AHR required both the zinc-finger and catalytic domains. Overexpression of TiPARP enhanced TCDD-dependent AHR proteolytic degradation, while knockdown reduced it. TiPARP thus functions as a mono-ADP-ribosyltransferase and transcriptional repressor of AHR, establishing a negative feedback loop in AHR signalling. |

TiPARP (PARP7) mediates TCDD-induced suppression of hepatic gluconeogenesis downstream of AHR. TiPARP overexpression reproduced TCDD effects on glucose output and NAD+ levels, increased PGC1α acetylation and decreased PGC1α levels; TiPARP silencing diminished these effects. The mechanism involves TiPARP-driven NAD+ depletion, reduced SIRT1 activation of PGC1α, and consequently reduced PEPCK and G6Pase expression. |

TIPARP mono-ADP-ribosylates AHR (but not ARNT/AHR nuclear translocator). Loss of Tiparp in mice increases sensitivity to dioxin-induced steatohepatitis and lethality. The repressive effect of TIPARP on AHR is reversed by the macrodomain-containing mono-ADP-ribosylase MACROD1 but not MACROD2, establishing MACROD1 as the eraser of TIPARP-placed ADP-ribose marks on AHR. |

TIPARP mono-ADP-ribosylates LXRα and LXRβ and positively regulates their transcriptional activity. TIPARP zinc-finger and catalytic domains are required for LXR co-activation. LXRs interact with an N-terminal sequence (aa 209–236) of TIPARP. MACROD1 (but not MACROD2) interacts with LXRs in a TIPARP-dependent manner and prevents the TIPARP-dependent increase in LXR activity. In vivo, GW3965-dependent increases in hepatic Srebp1 mRNA/protein were reduced in Tiparp-/- mice. |

TIPARP nuclear localization depends on a short N-terminal sequence and its zinc finger domain. The minimum catalytically active region spans amino acids 400–657 and retains AHR mono-ADP-ribosylation ability. Catalytic activity is sensitive to iodoacetamide and hydroxylamine (implicating cysteines and acidic residues as targets) but resistant to meta-iodobenzylguanidine. Mass spectrometry identified cysteine 39 via ETD as a site of TIPARP auto-mono-ADP-ribosylation; C39A mutation modestly reduced autoribosylation but did not prevent AHR repression. |

Overexpression of TiPARP in AHRR-/- MEFs reduced CYP1A1 induction, and vice versa, confirming independent repression pathways. Nuclear localization of AHRR is required for its repressive function. |

The Cys3His1-type zinc finger (ZF) of PARP7 is critical for efficient nuclear import and for AR ADP-ribosylation independently of catalytic activity. ZF mutations abolish PARP7 enhancement of AR-dependent transcription of MYBPC1 without reducing PARP7's catalytic activity or AR binding. |

PARP7 protein has an extremely short half-life (~4.5 min) that is extended by androgen/AR signaling (~25.6 min), leading to nuclear accumulation. Androgen-dependent post-transcriptional stabilization of PARP7 is distinct from transcriptional regulation. Mutations in the catalytic domain, zinc finger, and WWE domains each reduce PARP7 degradation rate, indicating that the overall protein structure is tuned for rapid turnover. |

PARP7 inhibits the IRF3:CBP/p300 transcriptional holocomplex required for IFN-I production by MARylating p300 and CBP. An α-helical domain in PARP7 is essential for p300/CBP interaction, MARylation, and proteasome degradation of p300/CBP. Disrupting PARP7-p300/CBP interaction prevents PARP7's suppression of IFN-β. p300/CBP reciprocally regulate PARP7 activity and nuclear localization. |

DTX2 is the E3 ligase responsible for degrading ADP-ribosylated PARP7, AHR, and other PARP7 substrates. Endogenous ADP-ribosylation of PARP7 and AHR is greatly induced when the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway is blocked, and AHR pathway activation promotes quantitative ADP-ribosylation of PARP7 itself (auto-MARylation) and AHR. This establishes mono-ADP-ribosylation as a degradation mark. |

PARP7 functions as a nuclear NAD+ sensor for adipogenesis: at higher nuclear NAD+ concentrations in undifferentiated preadipocytes, PARP7 undergoes auto-MARylation, which promotes its own proteasomal degradation via DTX2 and RNF114 E3 ligases. Stabilized PARP7 (when NAD+ declines post-differentiation) serves as a coregulator of C/EBPβ by stimulating p300-mediated H3K27 acetylation and C/EBPβ genomic binding. Genetic PARP7 depletion in mice reduces adipogenesis, fat mass, and milk lipid composition. |
