Administration of hepatocarcinogens aflataxin B1 (AFB1) and N-nitrosodimethylamine (NDMA) to rats caused single-strand breaks in hepatic nuclear DNA. The damage was found to be maximum at 4 hours following AFB1 administration and at 2 hours following NDMA administration. These damages were repaired after 17 and 4 hours, respectively in cases of AFB1 and NDMA. The activity of poly(ADP-ribose)polymerase (PARP), an enzyme known to use single-strand breaks of DNA as cofactor, was observed to increase with increasing damage to DNA and decrease as and when this damage got repaired. DNA polymerase beta and DNA ligase activities were also seen to increase and decline in a way analogous to PARP. In contrast, DNA topoisomerase activity declined corresponding to an increase in PARP activity. These observations suggest a possible role of PARP in coordinating the activities of other enzymes involved in DNA repair. It is also envisaged that these parameters can be utilized to devise strategies to counteract the deleterious effects of chemical carcinogens.

The tobacco specific nitrosamine 4-(methylnitrosamino)-1-(3-pyridyl)-1-butanone (NNK) is present in tobacco smoke and is hepatocarcinogenic in rats. Its bioactivation in rat hepatocytes leads to methylation and pyridyloxobutylation of DNA. Rat hepatocytes were cultured in serum-free William medium E on collagen-coated dishes. We demonstrated that some enzymes of the base and/or excision-repair pathways were involved in repair of NNK-induced DNA damage, measured by [methyl-3H] thymidine incorporation. Unscheduled DNA synthesis (UDS) induced by N-methyl-N-nitrosourea (MNU), NNK, N'-nitrosonornicotine (NNN) and 4-(acetoxymethylnitrosamino)-1-(3-pyridyl)-1-butanone (NNKOAc) increased 2.9-, 2.8-, 1.5- and 3.5-fold, respectively, suggesting that methylated and/or pyridyloxobutylated-DNA by these four nitroso compounds is repaired by the excision pathway. Moreover, levels of NNK-induced UDS were dose (1-3 mM) and time (1-18 h) dependent. Enzymes involved in the excision repair pathways were selectively inhibited. Inhibitors of DNA topoisomerase I (camptothecin) and topoisomerase II (etoposide, nalidixic acid) did not decrease the induction of UDS, suggesting that topoisomerases are not involved in the repair of NNK-induced damage. While aphidicolin and arabinocytidine (DNA polymerase alpha, delta, epsilon inhibitors) totally inhibited NNK- and NNKOAc-induced UDS, dideoxythymidine (DNA polymerase beta inhibitor) inhibited NNK- and NNKOAc-induced UDS by 40 and 33%, respectively. We conclude that DNA polymerase alpha, delta or epsilon and to a lesser degree polymerase beta are involved in the repair of pyridyloxobutylated DNA. Previous studies showed that inhibition of poly(ADP-ribosyl) polymerase (PARP) by 3-aminobenzamide (3-ab) facilitated DNA ligation. Our results demonstrate that 3-ab increased NNK-induced UDS, but does not affect NNKOAc-induced UDS. These observations suggest that the ligation step is rate limiting in the repair of methylated DNA but not of pyridyloxobutylated DNA.

Poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP; EC 2.4.2.30) is a zinc-finger DNA-binding protein that detects and signals DNA strand breaks generated directly or indirectly by genotoxic agents. In response to these breaks, the immediate poly(ADP-ribosyl)ation of nuclear proteins involved in chromatin architecture and DNA metabolism converts DNA damage into intracellular signals that can activate DNA repair programs or cell death options. To have greater insight into the physiological function of this enzyme, we have used the two-hybrid system to find genes encoding proteins putatively interacting with PARP. We have identified a physical association between PARP and the base excision repair (BER) protein XRCC1 (X-ray repair cross-complementing 1) in the Saccharomyces cerevisiae system, which was further confirmed to exist in mammalian cells. XRCC1 interacts with PARP by its central region (amino acids 301 to 402), which contains a BRCT (BRCA1 C terminus) module, a widespread motif in DNA repair and DNA damage-responsive cell cycle checkpoint proteins. Overexpression of XRCC1 in Cos-7 or HeLa cells dramatically decreases PARP activity in vivo, reinforcing the potential protective function of PARP at DNA breaks. Given that XRCC1 is also associated with DNA ligase III via a second BRCT module and with DNA polymerase beta, our results provide strong evidence that PARP is a member of a BER multiprotein complex involved in the detection of DNA interruptions and possibly in the recruitment of XRCC1 and its partners for efficient processing of these breaks in a coordinated manner. The modular organizations of these interactors, associated with small conserved domains, may contribute to increasing the efficiency of the overall pathway.

In mammalian cells, damaged bases in DNA are corrected by the base excision repair pathway which is divided into two distinct pathways depending on the length of the resynthesized patch, replacement of one nucleotide for short-patch repair, and resynthesis of several nucleotides for long-patch repair. The involvement of poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase-1 (PARP-1) in both pathways has been investigated by using PARP-1-deficient cell extracts to repair single abasic sites derived from uracil or 8-oxoguanine located in a double-stranded circular plasmid. For both lesions, PARP-1-deficient cell extracts were about half as efficient as wild-type cells at the polymerization step of the short-patch repair synthesis, but were highly inefficient at the long-patch repair. We provided evidence that PARP-1 constitutively interacts with DNA polymerase beta. Using cell-free extracts from mouse embryonic cells deficient in DNA polymerase beta, we demonstrated that DNA polymerase beta is involved in the repair of uracil-derived AP sites via both the short and the long-patch repair pathways. When both PARP-1 and DNA polymerase beta were absent, the two repair pathways were dramatically affected, indicating that base excision repair was highly inefficient. These results show that PARP-1 is an active player in DNA base excision repair.

To examine the interaction of mammalian base excision repair (BER) enzymes with DNA intermediates formed during BER, we used a novel photoaffinity labeling probe and mouse embryonic fibroblast cellular extracts. The probe was formed in situ, using an end-labeled oligonucleotide containing a synthetic abasic site; this site was incised by apurinic/apyrimidinic endonuclease creating a nick with 3'-hydroxyl and 5'-reduced sugar phosphate groups at the margins, and then a dNMP carrying a photoreactive adduct was added to the 3'-hydroxyl group. With near-UV light (312 nm) exposure of the extract/probe mixture, six proteins were strongly labeled. Four of these include poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase-1 (PARP-1) and the BER participants flap endonuclease-1, DNA polymerase beta, and apurinic/apyrimidinic endonuclease. The amount of the probe cross-linked to PARP-1 was greater than that cross-linked to the other proteins. The specificity of PARP-1 labeling was examined using various competitor oligonucleotides and DNA probes with alternate structures. PARP-1 labeling was stronger with a DNA representing a BER intermediate than with a nick in double-stranded DNA. These results indicate that proteins interacting preferentially with a photoreactive BER intermediate can be selected from the crude cellular extract.

Recently, photoaffinity labeling experiments with mouse cell extracts suggested that PARP-1 functions as a surveillance protein for a stalled BER intermediate. To further understand the role of PARP-1 in BER, we examined the DNA synthesis and flap excision steps in long patch BER using a reconstituted system containing a 34-base pair BER substrate and five purified human enzymes: uracil-DNA glycosylase, apurinic/apyrimidinic endonuclease, DNA polymerase beta, flap endonuclease-1 (FEN-1), and PARP-1. PARP-1 stimulates strand displacement DNA synthesis by DNA polymerase beta in this system; this stimulation is dependent on the presence of FEN-1. PARP-1 and FEN-1, therefore, cooperate to activate long patch BER. The results are discussed in the context of a model for BER sub-pathway choice, illustrating a dual role for PARP-1 as a surveillance protein for a stalled BER intermediate and an activating factor for long patch BER DNA synthesis.

In the base excision repair pathway, wild-type DNA polymerase beta (WT polbeta) provides most of the gap filling synthesis. A truncated polbeta protein (polbetaDelta), expressed in primary colorectal and breast tumors and in a primary culture of renal cell carcinoma, inhibits the gap filling synthesis and DNA binding activities of WT polbeta. However, a purified recombinant polbetaDelta does not inhibit a purified WT polbeta. To determine the dominant inhibitory activity of polbetaDelta, we examined interactions of purified polbetaDelta with X-ray cross complementing group 1 (XRCC1), poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP), and apurinic endonuclease (Ape) proteins. All of these proteins interact with polbetaDelta in vitro and in vivo. The polbetaDelta protein can fill one nucleotide gap by inserting a base at the AP site, whereas a presumed binary complex of polbetaDelta and XRCC1 cannot. However, this binary complex not only suppresses gap filling synthesis activity of WT polbeta but also binds more strongly to gapped DNA than WT polbeta bound to XRCC1. These results are the first to suggest that XRCC1 is directly involved in the dominant negative activity of truncated polbeta, possibly leading to the genomic instability characteristic of tumor cells.

Three mammalian genes encoding DNA ligases--LIG1, LIG3, and LIG4--have been identified. Genetic, biochemical, and cell biology studies indicate that the products of each of these genes play a unique role in mammalian DNA metabolism. Interestingly, cell lines deficient in either DNA ligase I (46BR.1G1) or DNA ligase III (EM9) are sensitive to simple alkylating agents. One interpretation of these observations is that DNA ligases I and III participate in functionally distinct base excision repair (BER) subpathways. In support of this idea, extracts from both DNA ligase-deficient cell lines are defective in catalyzing BER in vitro and both DNA ligases interact with other BER proteins. DNA ligase I interacts directly with proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) and DNA polymerase beta (Pol beta), linking this enzyme with both short-patch and long-patch BER. In somatic cells, DNA ligase III alpha forms a stable complex with the DNA repair protein Xrcc1. Although Xrcc1 has no catalytic activity, it also interacts with Pol beta and poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP), linking DNA ligase III alpha with BER and single-strand break repair, respectively. Biochemical studies suggest that the majority of short-patch base excision repair events are completed by the DNA ligase III alpha/Xrcc1 complex. Although there is compelling evidence for the participation of PARP in the repair of DNA single-strand breaks, the role of PARP in BER has not been established.

The DNA damage dependence of poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase-2 (PARP-2) activity is suggestive of its implication in genome surveillance and protection. Here we show that the PARP-2 gene, mainly expressed in actively dividing tissues follows, but to a smaller extent, that of PARP-1 during mouse development. We found that PARP-2 and PARP-1 homo- and heterodimerize; the interacting interfaces, sites of reciprocal modification, have been mapped. PARP-2 was also found to interact with three other proteins involved in the base excision repair pathway: x-ray cross complementing factor 1 (XRCC1), DNA polymerase beta, and DNA ligase III, already known as partners of PARP-1. XRCC1 negatively regulates PARP-2 activity, as it does for PARP-1, while being a polymer acceptor for both PARP-1 and PARP-2. To gain insight into the physiological role of PARP-2 in response to genotoxic stress, we developed by gene disruption mice deficient in PARP-2. Following treatment by the alkylating agent N-nitroso-N-methylurea (MNU), PARP-2-deficient cells displayed an important delay in DNA strand breaks resealing, similar to that observed in PARP-1 deficient cells, thus confirming that PARP-2 is also an active player in base excision repair despite its low capacity to synthesize ADP-ribose polymers.

In according with the mechanism for an adaptive response (AR) offered in [Bodnarchuk I.A.//Radiat. biologiya. Radioecologiya. 2002. V. 42. No. 1. P. 36-43], the low-dose irradiation of mammalian cells leads to the activation of such enzymes as Ras, ceramid-activated protein kinase, phospholipase C (PL C) and phosphatidilinostol 3-kinase (PI 3-K). All of them initiate apoptosis and eliminate the most radiosensitive cells form the population before the damaging irradiation. The function of PL C and PI 3-K accompanied by protein kinase C (PK C) activation. PK C activates transcription of the poly(ADP-ribose)polymerase (PARP) gene and DNA polymerase beta gene, and makes posttranslation activation of apurinic/apyrimidinic endonuclease APE, which are participating in the base excision repair (BER). PK C, APE and PARP activate the transcription factor p53, PK C and APE also activate the transcription factor AP-1, AP-1 and p53 take part in the initiation of nucleotide excision reapir (NER). The function of BER, NER and p53 after the damaging irradiation is accompanied by the G1-arrest of cell cycle progression. During G1-arrest there is p53-dependent activation of nonhomologous ends joining (NHEJ) and the inhibition of homologous recombination repair (HRR) of the DNA double-strand breaks takes place. Passing through the NHEJ the cells will outgo from G1-arrest and follow by HRR. AP-1 takes part in outgoing of cells from G1-arrest. So, the preliminary low-dose irradiation causes the decrease of quantity of cells died apoptotically after damaging irradiation as a result of inability to overcome G1-arrest. Thus, AR is the combination of processes: the removal of radiosensitive subpopulation of cells, and/or the activation of DNA repair, and/or the increase of cells ability to overcome the cell cycle delay.
