The present invention relates to methods of treating or decreasing the likelihood of developing a disorder associated with immune misregulation, such as, an autoimmune disorder, or viral or virus-associated disorder in a subject including administering to the subject a composition comprising an activator of a CCCH zinc finger-containing PARP, such as, PARP13 or PARP12. The present invention also relates to methods of treating a TRAIL-resistant disorder, such as, TRAIL-resistant cancer including administering to the subject a composition comprising an activator of a CCCH zinc finger-containing PARP, such as, PARP13 or PARP12. The present invention further relates to methods of modulating a CCCH zinc finger-containing PARP-RNA interaction including contacting a CCCH zinc finger-containing PARP protein or a CCCH zinc finger-containing PARP fusion protein with a CCCH zinc finger-containing PARP activator. |
