Fluorescent sensors of PARP-1 structural dynamics and allosteric regulation in response to DNA damage.


ABSTRACT: Poly(ADP-ribose) (PAR) is a posttranslational modification predominantly synthesized by PAR polymerase-1 (PARP-1) in genome maintenance. PARP-1 detects DNA damage, and damage detection is coupled to a massive increase PAR production, primarily attached to PARP-1 (automodification). Automodified PARP-1 then recruits repair factors to DNA damage sites. PARP-1 automodification eventually leads to release from DNA damage thus turning off catalytic activity, although the effects of PAR on PARP-1 structure are poorly understood. The multiple domains of PARP-1 are organized upon detecting DNA damage, creating a network of domain contacts that imposes a major conformational transition in the catalytic domain that increases PAR production. Presented here are two novel fluorescent sensors that monitor the global and local structural transitions of PARP-1 that are associated with DNA damage detection and catalytic activation. These sensors display real-time monitoring of PARP-1 structural transitions upon DNA damage detection, and their reversal upon PARP-1 automodification. The fluorescent sensors are further used to investigate intramolecular and intermolecular PARP-1 activation, followed by the observation that intramolecular activation of PARP-1 is the predominant response to DNA strand breaks in cells. These results provide a unique perspective on the interplay between PARP-1 DNA damage recognition, allosteric regulation, and catalytic activity.
