XRCC1 prevents toxic PARP1 trapping during DNA base excision repair.


ABSTRACT: Mammalian DNA base excision repair (BER) is accelerated by poly(ADP-ribose) polymerases (PARPs) and the scaffold protein XRCC1. PARPs are sensors that detect single-strand break intermediates, but the critical role of XRCC1 during BER is unknown. Here, we show that protein complexes containing DNA polymerase β and DNA ligase III that are assembled by XRCC1 prevent excessive engagement and activity of PARP1 during BER. As a result, PARP1 becomes "trapped" on BER intermediates in XRCC1-deficient cells in a manner similar to that induced by PARP inhibitors, including in patient fibroblasts from XRCC1-mutated disease. This excessive PARP1 engagement and trapping renders BER intermediates inaccessible to enzymes such as DNA polymerase β and impedes their repair. Consequently, PARP1 deletion rescues BER and resistance to base damage in XRCC1-/- cells. These data reveal excessive PARP1 engagement during BER as a threat to genome integrity and identify XRCC1 as an "anti-trapper" that prevents toxic PARP1 activity.
