A novel enzyme that splits a bond between ADP-ribose and histone was discovered and partially purified from rat liver cytosol. The 105,000 X g supernatant of rat liver homogenate was precipitated by 45% saturated ammonium sulfate and then chromatographed on a DEAE-cellulose column. The enzyme activity was eluted in a single peak at about 0.2 M NaCl and clearly separated from poly(ADP-ribose) glycohydrolase which came out at 0.13 M NaCl. In contrast to the latter enzyme, this new enzyme catalyzed the spliting of a linkage between ADP-ribose and a protein portion in mono ADP-ribosylated histone H2B but little, if any, of the glycosidic ribosyl(1"-2') ribose bonds within poly(ADP-ribose). Analysis of the reaction product by paper chromatography and Dowex 1 column chromatography indicated that the split product contained the ADP-ribose moiety but was not exactly identical with ADP-ribose. Available evidence suggested that it was either an altered ADP-ribose molecule produced by a structural rearrangement or ADP-ribose itself linked to an unidentified compound. The enzyme had a pH optimum of about 6.0 and was inhibited by 80-90% in the presence of 5 mM ADP-ribose.

Oligomeric ellagitannins (nobotanins B, E, and K) were found to be potent inhibitors of poly(ADP-ribose) glycohydrolase purified from mouse mammary tumor 34I cells. Kinetic analysis revealed that the inhibition of nobotanin B (dimer) was competitive with respect to the substrate poly(ADP-ribose), whereas nobotanin E (trimer) and nobotanin K (tetramer) exhibited mixed-type inhibition. These results suggest that the dimeric structure of ellagitannin may have a functional domain that competes with poly(ADP-ribose) on the poly(ADP-ribose) glycohydrolase molecule. To determine the inhibitory effects of oligomeric ellagitannins on poly(ADP-ribose) glycohydrolase in vivo, we examined their effects on de-poly(ADP-ribosyl)ation of some chromosomal proteins in intact 34I cells that was induced by glucocorticoid treatment. Nobotanin B caused concentration-dependent inhibition of glucocorticoid-induced de-poly(ADP-ribosyl)ation of HMG 14 and 17 and histone H1 in intact 34I cells. Interestingly, this inhibition was associated with suppression of the glucocorticoid-sensitive mouse mammary tumor virus (MMTV) mRNA synthesis. In contrast, nobotanin E and K had little inhibitory effect on either de-poly(ADP-ribosyl)ation of these proteins or induction of MMTV transcription after glucocorticoid treatment. Nobotanin B but not E and K was taken into 34I cells. These results may suggest that the suppression of glucocorticoid-sensitive MMTV transcription results from in vivo inhibition of poly(ADP-ribose) glycohydrolase by nobotanin B. These results also indicate the importance of de-poly(ADP-ribosyl)ation of HMG 14 and 17 and histone H1 in regulation of transcription of the glucocorticoid-sensitive MMTV gene.

We have found that two nuclear enzymes, i.e. poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (EC 2.4.2.30) and poly(ADP-ribose) glycohydrolase, may cooperate to function as a histone shuttle mechanism on DNA. The mechanism involves four distinct reaction intermediates that were analyzed in a reconstituted in vitro system. In the first step, the enzyme poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase is activated in the presence of histone-DNA complexes and converts itself into a protein carrying multiple ADP-ribose polymers. These polymers attract histones that dissociate from the DNA as a histone-polymer-polymerase complex. The DNA assumes the electrophoretic mobility of free DNA and becomes susceptible to nuclease digestion (second step). In the third step, poly(ADP-ribose) glycohydrolase degrades ADP-ribose polymers and thereby eliminates the binding sites for histones. In the fourth step, histones reassociate with DNA, and the histone-DNA complexes exhibit the electrophoretic mobilities and nuclease susceptibilities of the original complexes prior to dissociation. Our results are compatible with the view that the poly(ADP-ribosylation) system acts as a catalyst of nucleosomal unfolding of chromatin in DNA excision repair.

Infected-cell protein 4 (ICP4), the major regulatory protein in herpes simplex viruses 1 and 2, was previously reported to accept 32P from [32P]NAD in isolated nuclei. This modification was attributed to poly(ADP-ribosyl)ation (C. M. Preston and E. L. Notarianni, Virology 131:492-501, 1983). We determined that an antibody specific for poly(ADP-ribose) reacts with ICP4 extracted from infected cells, electrophoretically separated in denaturing gels, and electrically transferred to nitrocellulose. Our results indicate that all forms of ICP4 observed in one-dimensional gel electrophoresis are poly(ADP-ribosyl)ated. Poly(ADP-ribose) on ICP4 extracted from infected cells was resistant to cleavage by purified poly(ADP-ribose) glycohydrolase unless ICP4 was in a denatured state. Poly(ADP-ribose) added to ICP4 in isolated nuclei was sensitive to this enzyme. This result indicates that the two processes are distinct and may involve different sites on the ICP4 molecule.

In DNA excision repair of mammalian cells, the processing of ADP-ribose by the poly ADP-ribosylation system of chromatin is stimulated several thousand-fold. Most of this turnover is associated with the automodification reaction of the nuclear enzyme poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase and the degradation of polymerase-bound polymers by the enzyme poly(ADP-ribose) glycohydrolase. The automodification cycle catalyzes a temporary dissociation from and reassociation of histones with DNA. It is proposed that this mechanism, termed "histone shuttle", may guide specific proteins to sites of repair. In addition, histone shuttling driven by the poly ADP-ribosylation system seems to be involved in nucleosomal unfolding of chromatin in DNA excision repair.

Poly(ADP-ribosyl)ation is a eukaryotic posttranslational modification of proteins that is strongly induced by the presence of DNA strand breaks and plays a role in DNA repair and the recovery of cells from DNA damage. We compared poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP; EC 2.4.2.30) activities in Percoll gradient-purified, permeabilized mononuclear leukocytes from mammalian species of different maximal life span. Saturating concentrations of a double-stranded octameric oligonucleotide were applied to provide a direct and maximal stimulation of PARP. Our results on 132 individuals from 13 different species yield a strong positive correlation between PARP activity and life span (r = 0.84; P << 0.001), with human cells displaying approximately 5 times the activity of rat cells. Intraspecies comparisons with both rat and human cells from donors of all age groups revealed some decline of PARP activity with advancing age, but it was only weakly correlated. No significant polymer degradation was detectable under our assay conditions, ruling out any interference by poly(ADP-ribose) glycohydrolase activity. By Western blot analysis of mononuclear leukocytes from 11 species, using a crossreactive antiserum directed against the extremely well-conserved NAD-binding domain, no correlation between the amount of PARP protein and the species' life spans was found, suggesting a greater specific enzyme activity in longer-lived species. We propose that a higher poly(ADP-ribosyl)ation capacity in cells from long-lived species might contribute to the efficient maintenance of genome integrity and stability over their longer life span.

Two enzymatic activities of the nuclear enzyme poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase or transferase (ADPRT, EC 2.4.2.30), a DNA-associating abundant nuclear protein with multiple molecular activities, have been determined in HL60 cells prior to and after their exposure to 1 microM retinoic acid, which results in the induction of differentiation to mature granulocytes in 4-5 days. The cellular concentration of immunoreactive ADPRT protein molecules in differentiated granulocytes remained unchanged compared to that in HL60 cells prior to retinoic acid addition (3.17 +/- 1.05 ng/10(5) cells), as did the apparent activity of poly(ADP-ribose) glycohydrolase of nuclei. On the other hand, the poly(ADP-ribose) synthesizing capacity of permeabilized cells or isolated nuclei decreased precipitously upon retinoic acid-induced differentiation, whereas the NAD glycohydrolase activity of nuclei significantly increased. The nuclear NAD glycohydrolase activity was identified as an ADPRT-catalyzed enzymatic activity by its unreactivity toward ethenoadenine NAD as a substrate added to nuclei or to purified ADPRT. During the decrease in in vitro poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase activity of nuclei following retinoic acid treatment, the quantity of endogenously poly(ADP-ribosylated) ADPRT significantly increased, as determined by chromatographic isolation of this modified protein by the boronate affinity technique, followed by gel electrophoresis and immunotransblot. When homogenous isolated ADPRT was first ADP-ribosylated in vitro, it lost its capacity to catalyze further polymer synthesis, whereas the NAD glycohydrolase function of the automodified enzyme was greatly augmented. Since results of in vivo and in vitro experiments coincide, it appears that in retinoic acid-induced differentiated cells (granulocytes) the autopoly(ADP-ribosylated) ADPRT performs a predominantly, if not exclusively, NAD glycohydrolase function.

Poly(ADP-ribose) is a naturally occurring nuclear macromolecule resembling nucleic acids. It is synthesized from NAD+ on histones and a few other nuclear proteins. Its function, although not completely understood, might be to alter chromatin structure and to regulate the activity of proteins involved in the metabolism of DNA strand breaks such as ligase II, and topoisomerase I. In addition, poly(ADP-ribose) modifies proteins involved in gene expression such as acetylated histones. HMG proteins, and T antigen. The enzyme poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase responsible for this modification has the unique property of requiring nicks or free ends on the DNA for its activity and of being automodified. The automodified enzyme, presumably found at the vicinity of DNA strand breaks at damaged chromatin sites, could remove histones from DNA and attract enzymes that have an affinity for poly(ADP-ribose) such as ligase II or poly(ADP-ribose) glycohydrolase, the polymer-degrading enzyme. Alterations in chromatin structure alter gene expression and seem to be involved in repair, replication, and recombination and in changing DNA superhelical density, intermediate steps in molecular carcinogenesis. Experiments with cells in culture and laboratory animals show that inhibition of poly(ADP-ribosylation) alters transformation and tumorigenicity brought about by a great number of carcinogenic agents. Cancer can be caused by the accumulation of unrepaired DNA strand breaks in the cell accelerating gene rearrangements, deletions, insertions and amplifications. Repair of DNA strand breaks shows an absolute dependence upon the rapid synthesis and degradation of poly(ADP-ribose). The polymer has a very short half life indeed. Data are reviewed on changes in chromatin structure and function caused by histone and nonhistone poly(ADP-ribosylation). The link of this modification to transformation, tumorigenesis, development, replication and gene expression is examined. A model is proposed to explain the effect of poly(ADP-ribosylation) on chromatin structure at the molecular level. Mono- and oligo(ADP-ribosylated) histones present in nuclei under physiological conditions are proposed to functions, like acetylated histones, in maintaining chromatin loops into transcriptionally active structures. On the other hand, poly(ADP-ribosylated) histones and poly(ADP-ribosylated) enzymes such as DNA and RNA polymerases, suggested to be modified from in vitro studies, might only appear in cells that have been heavily damaged by carcinogen. Their function might be to remove histones from DNA in order to facilitate repair and to shut down transcription and replication.

Histone ADP-ribosylation was studied using two-dimensional gel electrophoresis after cleavage of the nuclear DNA with nucleases. Modified histones carrying different numbers of ADP-ribose groups form a ladder of bands above each variant histone. Cellular lysates containing unfragmented DNA mainly synthesize mono(ADP-ribosylated) histones. Cleavage of the DNA with either DNase I or micrococcal nuclease to fragments of an average size of 10-20 kilobases (kb) dramatically induces the formation of poly(ADP-ribosylated) species of histones in nuclei. As the number of DNA strand breaks produced by either DNase I or micrococcal nuclease increases and a great number of DNA cuts is introduced (fragments of 0.4-0.2 kb), the size of the poly(ADP-ribose) chains on the histones decreases. Finally, in the presence of 10 mM cAMP as an inhibitor of poly(ADP-ribose) glycohydrolase, human lymphoid nuclei synthesize hyper(ADP-ribosylated) histone H2B with at least 40 ADP-ribose groups attached to it. Lateral ladders emanating at precise points of the linear ladder on hypermodified H2B can arise from branching of poly(ADP-ribose) or from multiple monomodifications of glutamic (or aspartic) acid residues. Branching or de novo monomodifications occur after a precise number of ADP-ribose groups have been added to a histone molecule. Poly(ADP-ribosylated) histones thus appear to be intermediates in nuclear processes involving DNA strand breaks.

Poly(ADP-ribosyl)ated diadenosine tetraphosphate was found to inhibit the in vitro replication of SV40 DNA. This inhibition was sensitive to preincubation of the polymer with either poly(ADP-ribose) glycohydrolase, diadenosine tetraphosphate (Ap4A):ADP phosphohydrolase, or an excess of free Ap4A. In contrast, the general catalytic activity of DNA polymerase was not inhibited by the poly(ADP-ribosyl)ated Ap4A when activated salmon sperm DNA was used as a template. These data suggest that inhibition of SV40 DNA replication by poly(ADP-ribosyl)ated Ap4A requires both the intact polymer and intact Ap4A moiety and is specific to events occurring during the initiation or elongation of a double-stranded template. Since both poly(ADP-ribose) and Ap4A accumulate in cultured mammalian cells following stresses which are accompanied by DNA strand breaks, these data are consistent with a model in which poly(ADP-ribosyl)ated Ap4A inhibits DNA replication following DNA damage.
