Project description:The etiology of Parkinson’s disease (PD) remains elusive, and the limited availability of suitable animal models hampers research on pathogenesis and drug development. We report the development of a cynomolgus monkey model of PD that combines AAV-mediated overexpression of α-synuclein into the substantia nigra with injection of Poly(ADP-ribose) (PAR) into the striatum. Our results show that pathological processes were accelerated, including dopaminergic neuron degeneration, Lewy Bodies aggregation, and hallmarks of inflammation in microglia and astrocytes. Behavioral phenotypes, dopamine transporter imaging and transcriptomic profiling further demonstrate consistencies between the model and PD patients. This model can help to determine mechanisms underlying PD impacted by α-synuclein and PAR and aid in accelerated development of therapeutic strategies for PD.

Project description:Key nuclear processes in eukaryotes including DNA replication or repair and gene regulation require extensive chromatin remodeling catalyzed by energy consuming enzymes. How the energetic demands of such processes are ensured in response to rapid stimuli remains unclear. We have analyzed this question in the context of the massive gene regulation changes induced by progestins in breast cancer cells and found that ATP is generated in the cell nucleus via the hydrolysis of poly-ADP-ribose to ADP-ribose. Nuclear ATP synthesis requires the combined enzymatic activities of PARP1, PARG and NUDIX5/NUDT5. Although initiated via mitochondrial derived ATP, the nuclear source of ATP is essential for hormone induced chromatin remodeling, gene regulation and cell proliferation and may also participate in DNA repair. This novel pathway reveals exciting avenues of research for drug development.

Project description:Protein ADP-ribosylation is a covalent, reversible post-translational modification that has important functions in several cellular mechanisms. The identification of modified proteins in cells has proven challenging and, due to the low abundance of protein ADP-ribosylation, has mainly been possible via enrichment methodologies using ADP-ribose binding domains. Here, using random mutagenesis and in vitro selection with an ADP-ribosylated histone peptide, we engineered the archaeal Af1521 macro domain to generate an engineered isoform containing nine mutations that displays significantly increased affinity towards ADP-ribose. Comparison of the wild-type and the engineered Af1521 macro domains using our proteomic ADP-ribosylome enrichment workflow demonstrated an increased identification rate of ADP-ribosylated proteins with the engineered Af1521.

Project description:Despite recent mass spectrometry (MS)-based breakthroughs, comprehensive ADP-ribose (ADPr)-site identification and localization remain challenging. Here, we report the establishment of an unbiased, multistep ADP-ribosylome data analysis workflow that led to the identification of tyrosine as a novel ARTD1/PARP1 dependent in vivo ADPr-acceptor. MS analyses of in vitro ADP-ribosylated proteins confirmed tyrosine as an ADPr-acceptor amino acid in RPS3A (Y155) and HPF1 (Y238) and demonstrated that trans modification of RPS3A is dependent on HPF1. We provide an ADPr-site Localization Spectra Database (ADPr-LSD), which contains 288 high-quality ADPr-modified peptide spectra, to serve as ADPr spectral references for correct ADPr-site localizations.

Project description:Poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase 3 (PARP3) is a member of the PARP family of enzymes. It is structurally related to the well characterized type member PARP1 that orchestrates DNA strand break repair and cell death by the synthesis of poly(ADP-ribose). In contrast, the functions of PARP3 are undefined. We have used several in vitro and in vivo approaches to examine the possible functions of PARP3 as a transcriptional regulator, a function suggested from its previously reported association with several Polycomb group (PcG) proteins. A ChIP-chip analysis of PARP3 gene occupancy in the human neuroblastoma cell line SK-N-SH reveals that PARP3 is preferentially associated with developmental genes and is significantly enriched around the transcriptional start site of several genes encoding neuronal and sensory placodes specifiers, such as SOX9, DLX3 and DLX4. Using zebrafish as a vertebrate animal model, we demonstrate that Parp3 plays a key role in ectodermal and neural crest specification. Morpholino oligonucleotide-directed inhibition of parp3 expression in zebrafish impairs the expression of the neural crest cell specifier sox9a and of dlx3b/dlx4b, the formation of cranial sensory placodes, inner ears and pectoral fins. It delays pigmentation and severely impedes the development of the median fin fold and tail bud. Our findings demonstrate that Parp3 is crucial in the early stages of zebrafish development, possibly by exerting its transcriptional regulatory functions as early as during the specification of the neural plate border. ChIP were conducted as described (Rodrigue et al. 2006). PARP3 was immunoprecipitated from 3 x 10^7 SK-N-SH cells with a commercial anti-PARP3 (Enzo Life Sciences ALX-210-541). In control ChIP, PARP3 antibodies were replaced by rabbit IgG. Two independent PARP3 and control ChIP-chip experiments were achieved. The DNA was amplified using LM-PCR and labelled with Cy5 (PARP3) and Cy3 (IgG) before hybridization on Agilent Human promoter arrays (two 244k chip per ChIP for a total of 4 chips). Detailed protocols can be found at http://www.ircm.qc.ca/microsites/francoisrobert/en. Regions significantly enriched for PARP3 relative to IgG were identified as described (Lee et al. 2006).

Project description:To achieve the extreme nuclear condensation necessary for sperm function, most histones are replaced with protamines during spermiogenesis in mammals. Mature sperm retain only a small fraction of nucleosomes, which are, in part, enriched on gene regulatory sequences, and recent findings suggest that these retained histones provide epigenetic information that regulates expression of a subset of genes involved in embryo development after fertilization. We addressed this tantalizing hypothesis by analyzing two mouse models exhibiting abnormal histone positioning in mature sperm due to impaired poly(ADP-ribose) (PAR) metabolism during spermiogenesis and identified altered sperm histone retention in specific gene loci genome-wide using MNase digestion-based enrichment of mononucleosomal DNA. We then set out to determine the extent to which expression of these genes was altered in embryos generated with these sperm. For control sperm, most genes showed some degree of histone association, unexpectedly suggesting that histone retention in sperm genes is not an all-or-none phenomenon and that a small number of histones may remain associated with genes throughout the genome. The amount of retained histones, however, was altered in many loci when PAR metabolism was impaired. To ascertain whether sperm histone association and embryonic gene expression are linked, the transcriptome of individual 2-cell embryos derived from such sperm was determined using microarrays and RNA sequencing. Strikingly, a moderate but statistically significant portion of the genes that were differentially expressed in these embryos also showed different histone retention in the corresponding gene loci in sperm of their fathers. These findings provide new evidence for the existence of a linkage between sperm histone retention and gene expression in the embryo. Mnase sensitivity of sperm DNA, indicating nucleosomal, not protamine, packaging was altered in mice by manipulating poly(ADP-ribose) metabolism in adult males using a specific PARP inhibitor for 6 weeks. Abnormal sperm nucleosomal organization of males analyzed by these tiling arrays was compared with differential gene expression in 2 cell embryos fathered by these males analyzed by separate gene expression arrays and RNA sequencing.

Project description:Poly (ADP-Ribose) Polymerase 1 (PARP1) is a ubiquitously expressed enzyme that regulates DNA damage repair, cell death, inflammation, and transcription. PARP1 functions by adding ADP-ribose polymers (PAR) to proteins including itself, using NAD+ as a donor. This post-translational modification known as PARylation results in changes in the activity of PARP1 and its substrate proteins and has been linked to the pathogenesis of various neurological diseases. PARP1 KO mice display schizophrenia-like behaviors, have impaired memory formation, and have defects in neuronal proliferation and survival, while mutations in genes that affect PARylation have been associated with intellectual disability, psychosis, neurodegeneration, and stroke in humans. Yet, the roles of PARP1 in brain development have not been extensively studied. We now find that loss of PARP1 leads to defects in brain development and increased neuronal density at birth. We further demonstrate that PARP1 loss increases the expression levels of genes associated with neuronal migration and adhesion in the E15.5 cerebral cortex, including Reln. This correlates with an increased number of Cajal-Retzius (CR) cells in vivo and in cultures of embryonic neural progenitor cells (NPCs) derived from the PARP1 KO cortex. Furthermore, PARP1 loss leads to increased NPC adhesion to N-cadherin, like that induced by experimental exposure to Reelin. Taken together, these results uncover a novel role for PARP1 in brain development, i.e., regulation of CR cells, neuronal density, and cell adhesion.

Project description:Poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase 1 (PARP1) critically facilitates DNA damage response (DDR) that suppresses genomic instability. However, the physiological function of PARP1 in regulating genomic integrity is unclear. We investigated the Ewing’s sarcoma breakpoint region 1 (EWS) and found that it regulated the physiological function of PARP1. EWS was indispensable to dissociation of PARP1 from damaged DNA, promoting DDR and regulating DDR protein expression. Abnormal PARP1 accumulation due to EWS expression silencing, induced hyper-PARylation, which exhausted cellular NAD+ levels and caused cell death in in vitro and in vivo. Positively charged EWS arginine-glycine-glycine (Arg-Gly-Gly, RGG) domains directly interact with poly ADP-ribose (PAR) chains produced by PARP1 and are essential to dissociate PARP1 from damaged DNA. Consistently, Ewing’s sarcoma cells with defective EWS function accumulated PARP1 on chromatin and tissues from Ewing’s sarcoma patients, exhibiting high PARylation levels. Taken together, loss of EWS causes defects in PARP1 dissociation and results in genomic instability.
