The influence of poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) on the replication of DNA containing the SV40 origin of replication has been examined. Extensive replication of SV40 DNA can be carried out in the presence of T antigen, topoisomerase I, the multimeric human single strand DNA-binding protein (HSSB), and DNA polymerase alpha-DNA primase (pol alpha-primase) complex (the monopolymerase system). In the monopolymerase system, both small products (Okazaki fragments), arising from lagging strand synthesis, and long products, arising from leading strand synthesis, are formed. The synthesis of long products requires the presence of relatively high levels of pol alpha-primase complex. In the presence of PARP, the synthesis of long products was blocked and only small Okazaki fragments accumulated, arising from the replication of the lagging strand template. The inhibition of leading strand synthesis by PARP can be effectively reversed by supplementing the monopolymerase system with the multimeric activator 1 protein (A1), the proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) and PCNA-dependent DNA polymerase delta (the dipolymerase system). The inhibition of leading strand synthesis in the monopolymerase system was caused by the binding of PARP to the ends of DNA chains, which blocked their further extension by pol alpha. The selective accumulation of Okazaki fragments was shown to be due to the coupled synthesis of primers by DNA primase and their immediate extension by pol alpha complexed to primase. PARP had little effect on this coupled reaction, but did inhibit the subsequent elongation of products, presumably after pol alpha dissociated from the 3'-end of the DNA fragments. PARP inhibited several other enzymatic reactions which required free ends of DNA chains. PARP inhibited exonuclease III, DNA ligase, the 5' to 3' exonuclease, and the elongation of primed DNA templates by pol alpha. In contrast, PARP only partly competed with the elongation of primed DNA templates by the pol delta elongation system which required SSB, A1, and PCNA. These results suggest that the binding of PARP at the ends of nascent DNA chains can be displaced by the binding of A1 and PCNA to primer ends. HSSB can be poly(ADP-ribosylated) in vivo as well as in vitro. However, the selective effect of PARP in blocking leading strand synthesis in the monopolymerase system was shown to depend primarily on its DNA binding property rather than on its ability to synthesize poly(ADP-ribose).

The evolution of ADP-ribosyltransferase (NAD+) pseudogene 1 (ADPRTP1) was studied among higher primates. When the human pseudogene was used to probe genomic DNA from chimpanzee, gorilla, macaque, howler monkey and lemur, a fragment from gorilla produced the most intense hybridization signal. The resultant hybridization pattern indicated a modified pseudogene structure in these primates relative to the human and gorilla loci. Sequence comparison of this new DNA locus (ADPRTP1 and surrounding retroposons) showed a nucleotide (nt) identity of 98.13% (over 5.8 kb) between the genomic regions of human and gorilla. A unique duplicated region of 30 base pairs (bp) was found in gorilla ADPRTP1, separate from the duplicated region (193 bp) responsible for the restriction-fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) previously reported in humans, and which appeared to represent a marker for a predisposition to cancer. An endogenous pol (gene encoding polymerase) related element that flanked the human pseudogene was used as a probe to identify a fragment from this retroviral family in New World monkeys. Altogether, analysis of these retroposons will provide an opportunity for future studies on the molecular phylogenetic relationship of higher primates.

The influence of poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) and poly ADP-ribosylation on DNA synthesis supported by human replicative DNA polymerase (DNA pol) alpha, delta, and epsilon has been examined using the replication system containing poly(dA)4500-oligo(dT)12-18 as the template primer. PARP alone inhibited the pol activities in a dose-dependent manner even in the presence of the accessory factors for DNA pol delta, proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) and activator 1 (Al; RF-C). Both DNA pol alpha and epsilon activities were decreased approximately 10-fold under the poly ADP-ribosylating condition. In contrast, DNA synthesis by DNA pol delta holoenzyme was not affected by poly ADP-ribosylation like prokaryotic DNA pol's. The analysis of poly(dT) formed by DNA pol alpha and epsilon indicated that poly ADP-ribosylation mainly reduced the frequency of replication. These observations suggest a possibility that PARP acts as a negative regulator for the initiation of DNA replication upon cellular DNA damage.

A recently constructed chromosome 13-enriched library was used to isolate the entire human ADP-ribosyltransferase (NAD+) pseudogene 1 gene (ADPRTP1) on 13q34. Recently, ADPRTP1 was shown to detect a restriction fragment length polymorphism that was associated with a predisposition to cancer. The complete sequence of the ADPRTP1 (3808 bases) was determined and found to resemble an intronless cDNA, including 137 bases of the 5' untranslated region and a short poly(A) tail. A previously uncharacterized, endogenous pol-like element (1.53 kb) in which the DNA sequences were interrupted by the polymorphic ADPRTP1 was identified. The solitary pol-related retroviral element may represent a multimember family of viral-like DNA sequences dispersed throughout the human genome. Altogether a 9.25-kb genomic region that also encompassed two Alu elements and the long-terminal repeat-like element of the "O"-LTR family was characterized.

Poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) is a component of the multiprotein DNA replication complex (MRC, DNA synthesome) that catalyzes replication of viral DNA in vitro. PARP poly(ADP-ribosyl)ates 15 of the approximately 40 proteins of the MRC, including DNA polymerase alpha (DNA pol alpha), DNA topoisomerase I (topo I), and proliferating-cell nuclear antigen (PCNA). Although about equal amounts of MRC-complexed and free forms of PCNA were detected by immunoblot analysis of HeLa cell extracts, only the complexed form was poly(ADP-ribosyl)ated, suggesting that poly(ADP-ribosyl)ation of PCNA may regulate its function within the MRC. NAD inhibited the activity of DNA pol delta in the MRC in a dose-dependent manner, whereas the PARP inhibitor, 3-AB, reversed this inhibitory effect. The roles of PARP in modulating the composition and enzyme activities of the DNA synthesome were further investigated by characterizing the complex purified from 3T3-L1 cells before and 24 h after induction of a round of DNA replication required for differentiation of these cells; at the latter time point, approximately 95% of the cells are in S phase and exhibit a transient peak of PARP expression. The MRC was also purified from similarly treated 3T3-L1 cells depleted of PARP by antisense RNA expression; these cells do not undergo DNA replication nor terminal differentiation. Both PARP protein and activity and essentially all of the DNA pol alpha and delta activities exclusively cosedimented with the MRC fractions from S phase control cells, and were not detected in the MRC fractions from PARP-antisense or uninduced control cells. Immunoblot analysis further revealed that, although PCNA and topo I were present in total extracts from both control and PARP-antisense cells, they were present in the MRC fraction only from induced control cells, indicating that PARP may play a role in their assembly into an active DNA synthesome. In contrast, expression of DNA pol alpha, DNA primase, and RPA was down-regulated in PARP-antisense cells, suggesting that PARP may be involved in the expression of these proteins. Depletion of PARP also prevented induction of the expression of the transcription factor E2F-1, which positively regulates transcription of the DNA pol alpha and PCNA genes; thus, PARP may be necessary for expression of these genes when quiescent cells are stimulated to proliferate.

We have focused on the roles of PARP and poly(ADP-ribosyl)ation early in apoptosis, as well as during the early stages of differentiation-linked DNA replication. In both nuclear processes, a transient burst of PAR synthesis and PARP expression occurs early, prior to internucleosomal DNA cleavage before commitment to apoptosis as well as at the round of DNA replication prior to the onset of terminal differentiation. In intact human osteosarcoma cells undergoing spontaneous apoptosis, both PARP and PAR decreased after this early peak, concomitant with the inactivation and cleavage of PARP by caspase-3 and the onset of substantial DNA and nuclear fragmentation. Whereas 3T3-L1, osteosarcoma cells, and immortalized PARP +/+ fibroblasts exhibited this early burst of PAR synthesis during Fas-mediated apoptosis, neither PARP-depleted 3T3-L1 PARP-antisense cells nor PARP -/- fibroblasts showed this response. Consequently, whereas control cells progressed into apoptosis, as indicated by induction of caspase-3-like PARP-cleavage activity, PARP-antisense cells and PARP -/- fibroblasts did not, indicating a requirement for PARP and poly(ADP-ribosyl)ation of nuclear proteins at an early reversible stage of apoptosis. In parallel experiments, a transient increase in PARP expression and activity were also noted in 3T3-L1 preadipocytes 24 h after induction of differentiation, a stage at which approximately 95% of the cells were in S-phase, but not in PARP-depleted antisense cells, which were consequently unable to complete the round of DNA replication required for differentiation. PARP, a component of the multiprotein DNA replication complex (MRC) that catalyzes viral DNA replication in vitro, poly(ADP-ribosyl)ates 15 of approximately 40 MRC proteins, including DNA pol alpha, DNA topo I, and PCNA. Depletion of endogenous PARP by antisense RNA expression in 3T3-L1 cells results in MRCs devoid of any DNA pol alpha and DNA pol delta activities. Surprisingly, there was no new expression of PCNA and DNA pol alpha, as well as the transcription factor E2F-1 in PARP-antisense cells during entry into S-phase, suggesting that PARP may play a role in the expression of these proteins, perhaps by interacting with a site in the promoters for these genes.

E2F-1, a transcription factor implicated in the activation of genes required for S phase such as DNA pol alpha, is regulated by interactions with Rb and by cell-cycle dependent alterations in E2F-1 abundance. We have shown that depletion of poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) by antisense RNA expression downregulates pol alpha and E2F-1 expression during early S phase. To examine the role of PARP in the regulation of pol alpha and E2F-1 gene expression, we utilized immortalized mouse fibroblasts derived from wild-type and PARP knockout (PARP-/-) mice as well as PARP-/- cells stably transfected with PARP cDNA [PARP-/-(+PARP)]. After release from serum deprivation, wild-type and PARP-/-(+PARP) cells, but not PARP-/- cells, exhibited a peak of cells in S phase by 16 h and had progressed through the cell cycle by 22 h. Whereas [3H]thymidine incorporation remained negligible in PARP-/- cells, in vivo DNA replication maximized after 18 h in wild-type and PARP-/-(+PARP) cells. To investigate the effect of PARP on E2F-1 promoter activity, a construct containing the E2F-1 gene promoter fused to a luciferase reporter gene was transiently transfected into these cells. E2F-1 promoter activity in control and PARP-/-(+PARP) cells increased eightfold after 9 h, but not in PARP-/- cells. PARP-/- cells did not show the marked induction of E2F-1 expression during early S phase apparent in control and PARP-/-(+PARP) cells. RT - PCR analysis and pol alpha activity assays revealed the presence of pol alpha transcripts and a sixfold increase in activity in both wild-type and PARP-/-(+PARP) cells after 20 h, but not in PARP-/- cells. These results suggest that PARP plays a role in the induction of E2F-1 promoter activity, which then positively regulates both E2F-1 and pol alpha expression, when quiescent cells reenter the cell cycle upon recovery from aphidicolin exposure or removal of serum.

Base excision repair (BER) is a defense system that protects cells from deleterious effects secondary to modified or missing DNA bases. BER is known to involve apurinic/apyrimidinic endonuclease (APE) and DNA polymerase ss (ss-pol) among other enzymes, and recent studies have suggested that poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase-1 (PARP-1) also plays a role by virtue of its binding to BER intermediates. The main role of APE is cleavage of the DNA backbone at abasic sites, and the enzyme also can catalyze 3'- to 5'-exonuclease activity at the cleaved abasic site. Photocross-linking studies with mouse embryonic fibroblast (MEF) cell extracts described here indicated that APE and PARP-1 interact with the same APE-cleaved abasic site BER intermediate. The model BER intermediate used includes a synthetic abasic site sugar, i.e. tetrahydrofuran (THF), in place of the natural deoxyribose. APE cross-linked efficiently with this intermediate, but not with a molecule lacking the 5'-THF phosphate group, and the same property was demonstrated for PARP-1. The addition of purified APE to the MEF extract reduced the amount of PARP-1 cross-linked to the BER intermediate, suggesting that APE can compete with PARP-1. APE and PARP-1 were antagonists of each other in in vitro BER related reactions on this model BER intermediate. These results suggest that PARP-1 and APE can interact with the same BER intermediate and that competition between these two proteins may influence their respective BER related functions.

Poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase-1 (PARP-1), a eucaryotic nuclear DNA-binding protein that is activated by breaks in DNA chains, may be involved in the base excision repair (BER) because DNAs containing single-stranded gaps and breaks are intermediates of BER. The effect of PARP-1 on the DNA synthesis catalyzed in vitro by DNA polymerase beta (pol beta) was studied using analogs of DNA substrates produced during BER and imitating intermediates of the short patch and long patch subpathways of BER. Oligonucleotide duplexes of 34 bp that contained a mononucleotide gap or a single-strand break with tetrahydrofuran phosphate or phosphate at the 5;-end of the downstream oligonucleotide were taken as DNA substrates. The efficiency of DNA synthesis was determined at various ratios of pol beta and PARP-1. The efficiency of gap filling was decreased in the presence of PARP-1, but strand-displacement DNA synthesis was inhibited significantly stronger, which seemed to be due to competition between PARP-1 and pol beta for DNA. In the presence of NAD+ and single-strand breaks in DNA, PARP-1 catalyzes the synthesis of poly(ADP-ribose) covalently attached to the enzyme, and this automodification is thought to provide for dissociation of PARP-1 from DNA. The effect of PARP-1 automodification on inhibition of DNA synthesis was studied, and efficiency of mononucleotide gap filling was shown to be restored, but strand-displacement synthesis did not revert to the level observed in the absence of PARP-1. PARP-1 is suggested to regulate the interaction between pol beta and DNA, in particular, via its own automodification.

We examined interactions between base excision repair (BER) DNA intermediates and purified human BER enzymes, DNA polymerase beta (pol beta), apurinic/apyrimidinic endonuclease (APE1) and poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase-1 (PARP-1). Studies under steady-state conditions with purified BER enzymes and BER substrates have already demonstrated interplay between these BER enzymes that is sensitive to the respective concentrations of each enzyme. Therefore, in this study, using conditions of enzyme excess over substrate DNA, we further examine the question of interplay between BER enzymes on BER intermediates. The results reveal several important differences compared with data obtained using steady-state assays. Excess PARP-1 antagonizes the action of pol beta, producing a complete block of long patch BER strand-displacement DNA synthesis. Surprisingly, an excess of APE1 stimulates strand-displacement DNA synthesis by pol beta, but this effect is blocked by PARP-1. The APE1 exonuclease function appears to be modulated by the other BER proteins. Excess APE1 over pol beta may allow APE1 to perform both exonuclease function and stimulation of strand-displacement DNA synthesis by pol beta. This enables pol beta to mediate long patch sub-pathway. These results indicate that differences in the stoichiometry of BER enzymes may regulate BER.
