Proteome-wide identification of poly(ADP-ribose) binding proteins and poly(ADP-ribose)-associated protein complexes

Poly(ADP-ribose) (pADPr) is a polymer assembled from the enzymatic polymerization of the ADP-ribosyl moiety of NAD by poly(ADP-ribose) polymerases (PARPs). The dynamic turnover of pADPr within the cell is essential for a number of cellular processes including progression through the cell cycle, DNA repair and the maintenance of genomic integrity, and apoptosis. In spite of the considerable advances in the knowledge of the physiological conditions modulated by poly(ADP-ribosyl)ation reactions, and notwithstanding the fact that pADPr can play a role of mediator in a wide spectrum of biological processes, few pADPr binding proteins have been identified so far. In this study, refined in silico prediction of pADPr binding proteins and large-scale mass spectrometry-based proteome analysis of pADPr binding proteins were used to establish a comprehensive repertoire of pADPr-associated proteins. Visualization and modeling of these pADPr-associated proteins in networks not only reflect the widespread involvement of poly(ADP-ribosyl)ation in several pathways but also identify protein targets that could shed new light on the regulatory functions of pADPr in normal physiological conditions as well as after exposure to genotoxic stimuli.     

Quantitative proteomics profiling of the poly(ADP-ribose)-related response to genotoxic stress

Upon DNA damage induction, DNA-dependent poly(ADP-ribose) polymerases (PARPs) synthesize an anionic poly(ADP-ribose) (pADPr) scaffold to which several proteins bind with the subsequent formation of pADPr-associated multiprotein complexes. We have used a combination of affinity-purification methods and proteomics approaches to isolate these complexes and assess protein dynamics with respect to pADPr metabolism. As a first approach, we developed a substrate trapping strategy by which we demonstrate that a catalytically inactive Poly(ADP-ribose) glycohydrolase (PARG) mutant can act as a physiologically selective bait for the isolation of specific pADPr-binding proteins through its macrodomain-like domain. In addition to antibody-mediated affinity-purification methods, we used a pADPr macrodomain affinity resin to recover pADPr-binding proteins and their complexes. Second, we designed a time course experiment to explore the changes in the composition of pADPr-containing multiprotein complexes in response to alkylating DNA damage-mediated PARP activation. Spectral count clustering based on GeLC-MS/MS analysis was complemented with further analyses using high precision quantitative proteomics through isobaric tag for relative and absolute quantitation (iTRAQ)- and Stable isotope labeling by amino acids in cell culture (SILAC)-based proteomics. Here, we present a valuable resource in the interpretation of systems biology of the DNA damage response network in the context of poly(ADP-ribosyl)ation and provide a basis for subsequent investigations of pADPr-binding protein candidates.     

Importance of poly(ADP-ribose) glycohydrolase in the control of poly(ADP-ribose) metabolism.

Poly(ADP-ribosyl)ation is a posttranslational modification that alters the functions of the acceptor proteins and is catalyzed by the poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) family of enzymes. Following DNA damage, activated poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase-1 (PARP-1) catalyzes the elongation and branching of poly(ADP-ribose) (pADPr) covalently attached to nuclear target proteins. Although the biological role of poly(ADP-ribosyl)ation has not yet been defined, it has been implicated in many important cellular processes such as DNA repair and replication, modulation of chromatin structure, and apoptosis. The transient nature and modulation of poly(ADP-ribosyl)ation depend on the activity of a unique cytoplasmic enzyme called poly(ADP-ribose) glycohydrolase which hydrolyzes pADPr bound to acceptor proteins in free ADP-ribose residues. While the PARP homologues have been recently reviewed, there are relatively scarce data about PARG in the literature. Here we summarize the latest advances in the PARG field, addressing the question of its putative nucleo-cytoplasmic shuttling that could enable the tight regulation of pADPr metabolism. This would contribute to the elucidation of the biological significance of poly(ADP-ribosyl)ation.

Poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase-1: A Regulator of Protein–Nucleic Acid Interactions in Processes Responding to Genotoxic Impact

Poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase-1 (PARP-1), a nuclear protein of higher eukaryotes, specifically detects strand breaks in DNA. The enzyme is activated in the presence of such breaks and synthesizes poly(ADP-ribose) covalently bound to certain proteins, with PARP-1 itself being the main acceptor. This protein is involved in the majority of DNA-dependent processes, including replication, recombination, repair, and cell death (apoptosis and necrosis). Poly(ADP-ribosyl)ation of proteins is regarded as a mechanism which induces a signal of DNA damage and modulates the function of proteins in response to genotoxic actions. Attention in this review is focused on the role of PARP-1 and poly(ADP-ribosyl)ation in base excision repair (BER), the main process of DNA break repair. The main putative functions of PARP-1 in this process are also considered, namely, its functions as a factor initiating the BER protein complex, a temporary protector of DNA ends, a factor modulating chromatin structure through poly(ADP-ribosyl)ation of histones, and a signal in the mechanism recognizing the degree of DNA damage in the cell.     

Large-scale preparation and characterization of poly(ADP-ribose) and defined length polymers

Poly(ADP-ribose) (pADPr) is a large, structurally complex polymer of repeating ADP-ribose units. It is biosynthesized from NAD(+) by poly(ADP-ribose) polymerases (PARPs) and degraded to ADP-ribose by poly(ADP-ribose) glycohydrolase. pADPr is involved in many cellular processes and exerts biological function through covalent modification and noncovalent binding to specific proteins. Very little is known about molecular recognition and structure-activity relationships for noncovalent interaction between pADPr and its binding proteins, in part because of lack of access to the polymer on a large scale and to units of defined lengths. We prepared polydisperse pADPr from PARP1 and tankyrase 1 at the hundreds of milligram scale by optimizing enzymatic synthesis and scaling up chromatographic purification methods. We developed and calibrated an anion exchange chromatography method to assign pADPr size and scaled it up to purify defined length polymers on the milligram scale. Furthermore, we present a pADPr profiling method to characterize the polydispersity of pADPr produced by PARPs under different reaction conditions and find that substrate proteins affect the pADPr size distribution. These methods will facilitate structural and biochemical studies of pADPr and its binding proteins.     

Poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase-1 as a regulator of protein-nucleic acid interactions in the processes responding to genotoxic action

Poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase-1 (PARP-1), nuclear protein of higher eukaryotes, specifically detects strand breaks in DNA. When bound to DNA strand breaks, PARP-1 is activated and catalyzes synthesis of poly(ADP-ribose) covalently attached to the row of nuclear proteins, with the main acceptor being PARP-1 itself. This protein participates in a majority of DNA dependent processes: repair, recombination; replication: cell death: apoptosis and necrosis. Poly(ADP-ribosyl)ation of proteins is considered as mechanism, which signals about DNA damage and modulate protein functioning in response to genotoxic impact. The main emphasis is made on the roles of PARP-1 and poly(ADP-ribosyl)ation in base excision repair (BER), the process, which provides repair of DNA breaks. The main proposed functions of PARP-1 in this process are: factor initiating assemblage of protein complex of BER; temporary protection of DNA ends; modulation of chromatin structure via poly(ADP-ribosyl)ation of histones; signaling function in detection of the levels of DNA damage in cell.     

Analysis of ADP-ribose polymer sizes in intact cells

Poly(ADP-ribose) is a polymer (pADPr) that is synthesized by poly (ADP-ribose) polymerases in response to DNA damaging agents. For instance, chemical alkylating agents such as MNNG [1] or physical stimulation of cells by -rays [2] are well known to induce pADPr synthesis. PARPs are members of a growing family of enzymes which includes PARP-1, PARP-2, S-PARP-1, tankyrase and V-PARP [3]. The association of PARP-1 and PARP-2 in DNA damage signaling pathways has been characterized, but tankyrase and V-PARP seem to be independent of DNA repair mechanisms.Poly(ADP-ribosyl)ation leads to heterogenous chain lengths of up to 200 units (mers) in vitro [3]. While most of these will be covalently bound to proteins, they may be released under alkaline conditions for analysis. Previous immunological methods such as immunoblots [4] showed that about 60–70% of the 6–8 mers pADPr were lost during fixation and that the very short pADPr (2–5 mers) were very weakly bound to the membrane [5]. Furthermore, detection of cellular pADPr using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) revealed that some molecules of pADPr are also lost during fixation and washings. This phenomenon leads to underestimation of the short pADPr population in cells. Thus, evaluating which pADPr sizes are present in cells and tissues becomes critical.We report here the development of a new highly sensitive immunological method to detect synthesized pADPr sizes distribution in intact cells.     

Interaction between Poly(ADP-ribose) and NuMA Contributes to Mitotic Spindle Pole Assembly

Poly(ADP-ribose) (pADPr), made by PARP-5a/tankyrase-1, localizes to the poles of mitotic spindles and is required for bipolar spindle assembly, but its molecular function in the spindle is poorly understood. To investigate this, we localized pADPr at spindle poles by immuno-EM. We then developed a concentrated mitotic lysate system from HeLa cells to probe spindle pole assembly in vitro. Microtubule asters assembled in response to centrosomes and Ran-GTP in this system. Magnetic beads coated with pADPr, extended from PARP-5a, also triggered aster assembly, suggesting a functional role of the pADPr in spindle pole assembly. We found that PARP-5a is much more active in mitosis than interphase. We used mitotic PARP-5a, self-modified with pADPr chains, to capture mitosis-specific pADPr-binding proteins. Candidate binding proteins included the spindle pole protein NuMA previously shown to bind to PARP-5a directly. The rod domain of NuMA, expressed in bacteria, bound directly to pADPr. We propose that pADPr provides a dynamic cross-linking function at spindle poles by extending from covalent modification sites on PARP-5a and NuMA and binding noncovalently to NuMA and that this function helps promote assembly of exactly two poles.     

Poly(ADP-ribosyl)ation in mammalian ageing

Poly(ADP-ribose) polymerases (PARPs) catalyze the post-translational modification of proteins with poly(ADP-ribose). Two PARP isoforms, PARP-1 and PARP-2, display catalytic activity by contact with DNA-strand breaks and are involved in DNA base-excision repair and other repair pathways. A body of correlative data suggests a link between DNA damage-induced poly(ADP-ribosyl)ation and mammalian longevity. Recent research on PARPs and poly(ADP-ribose) yielded several candidate mechanisms through which poly(ADP-ribosyl)ation might act as a factor that limits the rate of ageing.     

The expanding field of poly(ADP-ribosyl)ation reactions. 'Protein Modifications: Beyond the Usual Suspects' Review Series

Poly(ADP-ribosyl)ation is a post-translational modification of proteins that is mediated by poly(ADP-ribose) polymerases (PARPs). Although the existence and nature of the nucleic acid-like molecule poly(ADP-ribose) (PAR) has been known for 40 years, understanding its biological functions--originally thought to be only the regulation of chromatin superstructure when DNA is broken--is still the subject of intense research. Here, we review the mechanisms controlling the biosynthesis of this complex macromolecule and some of its main biological functions, with an emphasis on the most recent advances and hypotheses that have developed in this rapidly growing field.     

Ataxia telangiectasia mutated (ATM) signaling network is modulated by a novel poly(ADP-ribose)-dependent pathway in the early response to DNA-damaging agents

Poly(ADP-ribosyl)ation is a post-translational modification that is instantly stimulated by DNA strand breaks creating a unique signal for the modulation of protein functions in DNA repair and cell cycle checkpoint pathways. Here we report that lack of poly(ADP-ribose) synthesis leads to a compromised response to DNA damage. Deficiency in poly(ADP-ribosyl)ation metabolism induces profound cellular sensitivity to DNA-damaging agents, particularly in cells deficient for the protein kinase ataxia telangiectasia mutated (ATM). At the biochemical level, we examined the significance of poly(ADP-ribose) synthesis on the regulation of early DNA damage-induced signaling cascade initiated by ATM. Using potent PARP inhibitors and PARP-1 knock-out cells, we demonstrate a functional interplay between ATM and poly(ADP-ribose) that is important for the phosphorylation of p53, SMC1, and H2AX. For the first time, we demonstrate a functional and physical interaction between the major DSB signaling kinase, ATM and poly(ADP-ribosyl)ation by PARP-1, a key enzyme of chromatin remodeling. This study suggests that poly(ADP-ribose) might serve as a DNA damage sensory molecule that is critical for early DNA damage signaling.     

Detection of poly(ADP-ribose) synthesis in Drosophila testes upon γ-irradiation

Poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) activity is widespread among eukaryotes. Upon DNA damage PARP binds to DNA strand breaks and transfers ADP-ribose residues from NAD⁺ to acceptor proteins and to ADP-ribosyl protein adducts. This leads to branched polymers of protein-coupled poly(ADP-ribose) (pADPr). Because the germline of Drosophila has recently become important in the study of DNA double-strand break repair (DSBR) as opposed to somatic DSBR we tested whether the catalytic activity of PARP can be stimulated by γ-irradiation during Drosophila spermatogenesis. Using antibodies against pADPr we detected a significant increase in PARP activity in male germline cells during spermatogenesis upon γ-irradiation. Different stages of spermatogenesis revealed different subnuclear localization patterns of pADPr. In premeiotic and postmeiotic cells pADPr localized in a pattern overlapping with lamin and topoisomerase II at the nuclear rim. In primary spermatocytes pADPr is associated with three loci corresponding to the chromosomes at the nuclear periphery.

Distribution of protein poly(ADP-ribosyl)ation systems across all domains of life

Poly(ADP-ribosyl)ation is a post-translational modification of proteins involved in regulation of many cellular pathways. Poly(ADP-ribose) (PAR) consists of chains of repeating ADP-ribose nucleotide units and is synthesized by the family of enzymes called poly(ADP-ribose) polymerases (PARPs). This modification can be removed by the hydrolytic action of poly(ADP-ribose) glycohydrolase (PARG) and ADP-ribosylhydrolase 3 (ARH3). Hydrolytic activity of macrodomain proteins (MacroD1, MacroD2 and TARG1) is responsible for the removal of terminal ADP-ribose unit and for complete reversion of protein ADP-ribosylation.Poly(ADP-ribosyl)ation is widely utilized in eukaryotes and PARPs are present in representatives from all six major eukaryotic supergroups, with only a small number of eukaryotic species that do not possess PARP genes. The last common ancestor of all eukaryotes possessed at least five types of PARP proteins that include both mono and poly(ADP-ribosyl) transferases. Distribution of PARGs strictly follows the distribution of PARP proteins in eukaryotic species. At least one of the macrodomain proteins that hydrolyse terminal ADP-ribose is also always present. Therefore, we can presume that the last common ancestor of all eukaryotes possessed a fully functional and reversible PAR metabolism and that PAR signalling provided the conditions essential for survival of the ancestral eukaryote in its ancient environment.PARP proteins are far less prevalent in bacteria and were probably gained through horizontal gene transfer. Only eleven bacterial species possess all proteins essential for a functional PAR metabolism, although it is not known whether PAR metabolism is truly functional in bacteria. Several dsDNA viruses also possess PARP homologues, while no PARP proteins have been identified in any archaeal genome.Our analysis of the distribution of enzymes involved in PAR metabolism provides insight into the evolution of these important signalling systems, as well as providing the basis for selection of the appropriate genetic model organisms to study the physiology of the specific human PARP proteins.     

Poly(ADP-ribose) polymerases: managing genome stability

The importance of poly(ADP-ribose) metabolism in the maintenance of genomic integrity following genotoxic stress has long been firmly established. Poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase-1 (PARP-1) and its catabolic counterpart, poly(ADP-ribose) glycohydrolase (PARG) play major roles in the modulation of cell responses to genotoxic stress. Recent discoveries of a number of other enzymes with poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase activity have established poly(ADP-ribosyl)ation as a general biological mechanism in higher eukaryotic cells that not only promotes cellular recovery from genotoxic stress and eliminates severely damaged cells from the organism, but also ensures accurate transmission of genetic information during cell division. Additionally, emerging data suggest the involvement of poly(ADP-ribosyl)ation in the regulation of intracellular trafficking, memory formation and other cellular functions. In this brief review on PARP and PARG enzymes, emphasis is placed on PARP-1, the best understood member of the PARP family and on the relationship of poly(ADP-ribosyl)ation to cancer and other diseases of aging.
