The <scene name='82/829351/6hmm/2'>6HMM protein</scene> is a human[[ poly (ADP-ribose) glycohydrolase]]. It is an enzyme that will catalyze the hydrolysis of glycosides, here more specifically it will produce a free ADP-ribose. This protein is only present when the DNA is damaged. It influences the damaged chromatin through a derepression of a gene promoter. Consequently this protein is quite interesting for biotechnological applications. Indeed, knowing the different pathways and protein interactions leading to DNA damage repair is a meaningful goal in research especially in new cancer therapies.  

In the macro domain fold, a loop is inserted to welcome the Glu115 side chain protecting the active site of the PARG protein. This loop gives PARG the ability to hydrolyze PAR.

Due to the function of the protein poly (ADP-ribose) glycohydrolase PARG to be part of post-translational processes of DNA damage repair it could be used for new treatments in cancer therapy or for ther diseases. In cancer cells the rate of DNA damaging is most probably higher than in normal cells. This could result from the considerably raised stress levels. A deficiency of PARG results in the cessing of the cell cycle and the following cell death<ref name="Waszkowycz B, Smith KM, McGonagle AE, Jordan AM, Acton B, Fairweather EE, Griffiths LA, Hamilton NM, Hamilton NS, Hitchin JR, Hutton CP, James DI, Jones CD, Jones S, Mould DP, Small HF, Stowell AIJ, Tucker JA, Waddell ID, Ogilvie DJ.

Consequently, the inhibition of PARG might be a solution how to destroy for example tumour cells.

For the opponent PAR protein there has already been a lot of research in this field but not for PARG. As there are no close homologues of PARG<ref name="Waszkowycz B, Smith KM, McGonagle AE, Jordan AM, Acton B, Fairweather EE, Griffiths LA, Hamilton NM, Hamilton NS, Hitchin JR, Hutton CP, James DI, Jones CD, Jones S, Mould DP, Small HF, Stowell AIJ, Tucker JA, Waddell ID, Ogilvie DJ.
