PARP1-dependent poly-ADP-ribosylation (PARylation) participates in the repair of many forms of DNA damage. Here, we used atomic force microscopy (AFM) and single molecule fluorescence microscopy to examine the interactions of PARP1 with common DNA repair intermediates. AFM volume analysis indicates that PARP1 binds to DNA at nicks, abasic (AP) sites, and ends as a monomer. Single molecule DNA tightrope assays were used to follow the real-time dynamic behavior of PARP1 in the absence and presence ...[more]
