`Here, we show that the nascent polypeptide-associated complex controls the cotranslational modification of histones H2A and H4 by recruiting NatD and the upstream enzyme MetAP1 to ribosomes. MetAP1 and NatD cooperate on the ribosome to create a confined environment for the efficient sequential modification of the nascent histone chain.`

A viral ADP-ribosyltransferase attaches RNA chains to host proteins - Nature

Bacteriophage T4 uses an enzyme known as ADP-ribosyltransferase ModB to modify the translational apparatus of bacteria it infects, not only by ADP-ribosylating proteins, but also by attaching entire RNA chains in a process known as RNAylation.
