Here, we review this mechanism, which is initiated by stimulation-induced binding of PARP1 to phosphorylated Erk translocated into the nucleus. Their binding maintains their long-lasting activity in a synergism, which offers a new pattern for targeted therapy %U https://www.nature.com/articles/s41392-019-0042-0
