Poly(ADP-ribosylation) protects maternally derived histones from proteolysis after fertilization.

ABSTRACT: Fertilization in sea urchins is followed by the replacement of sperm-specific histones by cleavage-stage histone variants recruited from maternal stores. Such remodelling of zygote chromatin involves a cysteine proteinase that degrades the sperm-specific histones in a selective manner, leaving the maternal cleavage-stage histone variants intact. The mechanism that determines the selectivity of the sperm-histone-selective proteinase (SpH-proteinase) was analysed by focusing on the post-translational modification status of both sets of histones. It has previously been reported that only native cleavage-stage histones are poly(ADP-ribosylated), whereas the sperm-specific histones are not modified. To determine whether the poly(ADP-ribose) moiety afforded protection from degradation, the ADP-ribose polymers were removed from the cleavage-stage histones in vitro; these proteins were then assayed as potential substrates of the SpH-proteinase. Strikingly, the cleavage-stage histone variants were extensively degraded after the enzymic removal of their ADP-ribose moieties. In addition, the SpH cysteine proteinase was not inhibited by isolated poly(ADP-ribose) polymers. Consequently, only poly(ADP-ribosylated) cleavage-stage histone variants are protected from proteolysis. These results demonstrate a novel role for this type of post-translational modification, namely the protection of nuclear proteins against nuclear proteinases after fertilization.

TARG1 protects against toxic DNA ADP-ribosylation.

Project description:ADP-ribosylation is a modification that targets a variety of macromolecules and regulates a diverse array of important cellular processes. ADP-ribosylation is catalysed by ADP-ribosyltransferases and reversed by ADP-ribosylhydrolases. Recently, an ADP-ribosyltransferase toxin termed 'DarT' from bacteria, which is distantly related to human PARPs, was shown to modify thymidine in single-stranded DNA in a sequence specific manner. The antitoxin of DarT is the macrodomain containing ADP-ribosylhydrolase DarG, which shares striking structural homology with the human ADP-ribosylhydrolase TARG1. Here, we show that TARG1, like DarG, can reverse thymidine-linked DNA ADP-ribosylation. We find that TARG1-deficient human cells are extremely sensitive to DNA ADP-ribosylation. Furthermore, we also demonstrate the first detection of reversible ADP-ribosylation on genomic DNA in vivo from human cells. Collectively, our results elucidate the impact of DNA ADP-ribosylation in human cells and provides a molecular toolkit for future studies into this largely unknown facet of ADP-ribosylation.

Serine is a new target residue for endogenous ADP-ribosylation on histones.

Project description:ADP-ribosylation (ADPr) is a biologically and clinically important post-translational modification, but little is known about the amino acids it targets on cellular proteins. Here we present a proteomic approach for direct in vivo identification and quantification of ADPr sites on histones. We have identified 12 unique ADPr sites in human osteosarcoma cells and report serine ADPr as a new type of histone mark that responds to DNA damage.

Linking DNA repair and cell cycle progression through serine ADP-ribosylation of histones.

Project description:Although serine ADP-ribosylation (Ser-ADPr) by Poly(ADP-ribose)-polymerases is a cornerstone of the DNA damage response, how this regulates DNA repair and genome stability is unknown. Here, we exploit the ability to manipulate histone genes in Dictyostelium to identify that ADPr of the histone variant H3b at S10 and S28 maintains genome stability by integrating double strand break (DSB) repair with mitotic entry. Given the critical requirement for mitotic H3S10/28 phosphorylation, we develop separation of function mutations that maintain S10 phosphorylation whilst disrupting ADPr. Mechanistically, this reveals a requirement for H3bS10/28 ADPr in non-homologous end-joining by recruiting Ku to DSBs. Moreover, this also identifies H3bS10/S28 ADPr is critical to prevent premature mitotic entry with unresolved DNA damage, thus maintaining genome stability. Together, these data demonstrate how serine ADPr of histones coordinates DNA repair with cell cycle progression to maintain genome stability.

ADP-ribosylation of core histones and their acetylated subspecies.

Project description:ADP-ribosylation of core histones was investigated in isolated nuclei of Physarum polycephalum. Core histone species differed in the mode of modification. Whereas ADP-ribosylation of H2A and H2B is sensitive to inhibition by 3-methoxybenzamide, as with most other nuclear acceptor proteins, the modification of H3 and H4 is not inhibited. Cleavage experiments with hydroxylamine indicate a carboxylate ester type ADP-ribose-protein bond for H2A and H2B and arginine-linked ADP-ribose residues for H3 and H4. ADP-ribosylation preferentially occurs on acetylated histone subspecies, as shown for H4. These data are substantiated by the use of n-butyrate, which induces hyperacetylation of core histones; the butyrate-induced shift towards more acetylated H4 subspecies is accompanied by an increase of ADP-ribose incorporation into highly acetylated H4 subspecies.

Poly-ADP ribosylation in DNA damage response and cancer therapy.

Project description:Poly(ADP-ribosyl)ation (aka PARylation) is a unique protein post-translational modification (PTM) first described over 50 years ago. PARylation regulates a number of biological processes including chromatin remodeling, the DNA damage response (DDR), transcription, apoptosis, and mitosis. The subsequent discovery of poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase-1 (PARP-1) catalyzing DNA-dependent PARylation spearheaded the field of DDR. The expanding knowledge about the poly ADP-ribose (PAR) recognition domains prompted the discovery of novel DDR factors and revealed crosstalk with other protein PTMs including phosphorylation, ubiquitination, methylation and acetylation. In this review, we highlight the current knowledge on PAR-regulated DDR, PAR recognition domain, and PARP inhibition in cancer therapy.

HPF1 remodels the active site of PARP1 to enable the serine ADP-ribosylation of histones.

Project description:Upon binding to DNA breaks, poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase 1 (PARP1) ADP-ribosylates itself and other factors to initiate DNA repair. Serine is the major residue for ADP-ribosylation upon DNA damage, which strictly depends on HPF1. Here, we report the crystal structures of human HPF1/PARP1-CAT ΔHD complex at 1.98 Å resolution, and mouse and human HPF1 at 1.71 Å and 1.57 Å resolution, respectively. Our structures and mutagenesis data confirm that the structural insights obtained in a recent HPF1/PARP2 study by Suskiewicz et al. apply to PARP1. Moreover, we quantitatively characterize the key residues necessary for HPF1/PARP1 binding. Our data show that through salt-bridging to Glu284/Asp286, Arg239 positions Glu284 to catalyze serine ADP-ribosylation, maintains the local conformation of HPF1 to limit PARP1 automodification, and facilitates HPF1/PARP1 binding by neutralizing the negative charge of Glu284. These findings, along with the high-resolution structural data, may facilitate drug discovery targeting PARP1.

Poly ADP ribosylation and extracellular vesicle activity in rod photoreceptor degeneration.

Project description:Retinitis Pigmentosa is a group of inherited neurodegenerative diseases that result in selective cell death of photoreceptors. In the developed world, RP is regarded as the main cause of blindness among the working age population. The precise mechanisms eventually leading to cell death remain unknown and to date no adequate treatment for RP is available. Poly ADP ribose polymerase (PARP) over activity is involved in photoreceptor degeneration and pharmacological inhibition or genetic knock-down PARP1 activity protect photoreceptors in mice models, the mechanism of neuroprotection is not clear yet. Our result indicated that olaparib, a PARP1 inhibitor, significantly rescued photoreceptor cells in rd10 retina. Extracellular vesicles (EVs) were previously recognized as a mechanism for discharging useless cellular components. Growing evidence has elucidated their roles in cell-cell communication by carrying nucleic acids, proteins and lipids that can, in turn, regulate behavior of the target cells. Recent research suggested that EVs extensively participate in progression of diverse blinding diseases, such as age-related macular (AMD) degeneration. Our study demonstrates the involvement of EVs activity in the process of photoreceptor degeneration in a PDE6 mutation. PARP inhibition protects photoreceptors via regulation of the EVs activity in rod photoreceptor degeneration in a PDE6b mutation.

The nucleosome-remodeling ATPase ISWI is regulated by poly-ADP-ribosylation.

Project description:ATP-dependent nucleosome-remodeling enzymes and covalent modifiers of chromatin set the functional state of chromatin. However, how these enzymatic activities are coordinated in the nucleus is largely unknown. We found that the evolutionary conserved nucleosome-remodeling ATPase ISWI and the poly-ADP-ribose polymerase PARP genetically interact. We present evidence showing that ISWI is target of poly-ADP-ribosylation. Poly-ADP-ribosylation counteracts ISWI function in vitro and in vivo. Our work suggests that ISWI is a physiological target of PARP and that poly-ADP-ribosylation can be a new, important post-translational modification regulating the activity of ATP-dependent nucleosome remodelers.

Mechanistic insights into the three steps of poly(ADP-ribosylation) reversal.

Project description:Poly(ADP-ribosyl)ation (PAR) is a versatile and complex posttranslational modification composed of repeating units of ADP-ribose arranged into linear or branched polymers. This scaffold is linked to the regulation of many of cellular processes including the DNA damage response, alteration of chromatin structure and Wnt signalling. Despite decades of research, the principles and mechanisms underlying all steps of PAR removal remain actively studied. In this work, we synthesise well-defined PAR branch point molecules and demonstrate that PARG, but not ARH3, can resolve this distinct PAR architecture. Structural analysis of ARH3 in complex with dimeric ADP-ribose as well as an ADP-ribosylated peptide reveal the molecular basis for the hydrolysis of linear and terminal ADP-ribose linkages. We find that ARH3-dependent hydrolysis requires both rearrangement of a catalytic glutamate and induction of an unusual, square-pyramidal magnesium coordination geometry.

PARP2 mediates branched poly ADP-ribosylation in response to DNA damage.

Project description:Poly(ADP-ribosyl)ation (PARylation) is a posttranslational modification involved in multiple biological processes, including DNA damage repair. This modification is catalyzed by poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) family of enzymes. PARylation is composed of both linear and branched polymers of poly(ADP-ribose) (PAR). However, the biochemical mechanism of polymerization and biological functions of branched PAR chains are elusive. Here we show that PARP2 is preferentially activated by PAR and subsequently catalyzes branched PAR chain synthesis. Notably, the direct binding to PAR by the N-terminus of PARP2 promotes the enzymatic activity of PARP2 toward the branched PAR chain synthesis. Moreover, the PBZ domain of APLF recognizes the branched PAR chain and regulates chromatin remodeling to DNA damage response. This unique feature of PAR-dependent PARP2 activation and subsequent PARylation mediates the participation of PARP2 in DNA damage repair. Thus, our results reveal an important molecular mechanism of branched PAR synthesis and a key biological function of branched PARylation.
