PARP1 Activation Controls Stress Granule Assembly after Oxidative Stress and DNA Damage.

ABSTRACT: DNA damage causes PARP1 activation in the nucleus to set up the machinery responsible for the DNA damage response. Here, we report that, in contrast to cytoplasmic PARPs, the synthesis of poly(ADP-ribose) by PARP1 opposes the formation of cytoplasmic mRNA-rich granules after arsenite exposure by reducing polysome dissociation. However, when mRNA-rich granules are pre-formed, whether in the cytoplasm or nucleus, PARP1 activation positively regulates their assembly, though without additional recruitment of poly(ADP-ribose) in stress granules. In addition, PARP1 promotes the formation of TDP-43- and FUS-rich granules in the cytoplasm, two RNA-binding proteins which form neuronal cytoplasmic inclusions observed in certain neurodegenerative diseases such as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and frontotemporal lobar degeneration. Together, the results therefore reveal a dual role of PARP1 activation which, on the one hand, prevents the early stage of stress granule assembly and, on the other hand, enables the persistence of cytoplasmic mRNA-rich granules in cells which may be detrimental in aging neurons.
