Serine ADP-ribosylation in Drosophila provides insights into the evolution of reversible ADP-ribosylation signaling

ABSTRACT: In the mammalian DNA damage response, ADP-ribosylation signaling is of crucial importance to mark sites of DNA damage as well as recruit and regulate repairs factors. Specifically, the PARP1:HPF1 complex recognizes damaged DNA and catalyzes the formation of serine-linked ADP-ribosylation marks (mono-Ser-ADPr), which are extended into ADP-ribose polymers (poly-Ser-ADPr) by PARP1 alone. Poly-Ser-ADPr is reversed by PARG, while the terminal mono-Ser-ADPr is removed by ARH3. Despite its significance and apparent evolutionary conservation, little is known about ADP-ribosylation signaling in non-mammalian Animalia. The presence of HPF1, but absence of ARH3, in some insect genomes, including Drosophila species, raises questions regarding the existence and reversal of serine-ADP-ribosylation in these species. Here we show by quantitative proteomics that Ser-ADPr is the major form of ADP-ribosylation in the DNA damage response of Drosophila melanogaster and is dependent on the Parp1:Hpf1 complex. Moreover, our structural and biochemical data reveal a new mechanism of mono-Ser-ADPr removal by Drosophila Parg.
