PARP1 condensates differentially partition DNA repair proteins and enhance DNA ligation
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase 1 (PARP1) plays crucial roles in recruiting DNA repair proteins through its activity - poly(ADP-ribosyl)ation (PARylation). The enrichment of DNA repair proteins at sites of DNA damage has been described as the formation of a biomolecular condensate. However, it remains unclear how PARP1 and PARylation contribute to the formation and organization of DNA repair condensates. We find that PARP1 readily forms viscous condensates in vitro; this depends on DNA and PARP1 three zinc finger domains. PARylation enhances the formation and internal dynamics of PARP1 condensates. DNA and single-strand break repair proteins partition in these condensates in different patterns. FUS enrichment is enhanced upon PARylation whereas Polβ partitioning is not. XRCC1 and LigIII display an inhomogeneous organization within PARP1 condensates; their enrichment is enhanced by PARylation. Functionally, PARP1 condensates concentrate short DNA fragments, which correlates with long DNA compaction and bridging DNA ends. Furthermore, the presence of PARP1 condensates significantly promotes DNA ligation upon PARylation. These findings provide insight into how PARP1 condensation and PARylation regulate the assembly and biochemical activities of DNA repair factors.
