Transcriptional Repression by Binding of Poly(ADP-ribose) Polymerase to Promoter Sequences

Abstract: Poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) is a DNA-binding enzyme that plays roles in response to DNA damage, apoptosis, and genetic stability. Recent evidence has implicated PARP in transcription of eukaryotic genes. However, the existing paradigm tying PARP function to the presence of DNA strand breaks does not provide a mechanism by which it may be recruited to gene-regulating domains in the absence of DNA damage. Here we report that PARP can bind to the DNA secondary structures (hairpins) in heteroduplex DNA in a… Show more

“…Reports indicate that PARP-1, itself, can interact with gene promoters (16)(17)(18), and so we asked whether PARP-1 could be detected at the BRCA1 promoter by ChIP. We were able to detect association of PARP-1 with the BRCA1 promoter in untreated A549 cells (Fig.…”

“…Similar binding of a single PARP-1 molecule to the end of a hairpin arm was observed in experiments with the three-way DNA junction model (Figs. 1a and 1b) (34). However, review of previous experiments using the three-way junction model and a cruciform structure suggests that the binding of a single PARP-1 molecule to the end of a hairpin arm was a rare event, while the binding of the PARP-1 monomer directly to the junction was not observed.…”

“…Extending our previous observations showing that PARP-1 can bind to hairpin containing regions in a three-way junction heteroduplex of DNA, we have focused on identifying the site of attachment of PARP-1 in this region (34).…”

“…On the other hand, PARP controls activation of a number of transcription factors, i.e. nuclear factor-kappa B, activator protein-1, signal transducer and activator of transcription-1, octamer-1 and p53 protein via direct binding, poly(ADPribosyl)ation or both [8,9]. This, in turn, up-regulates numerous genes [9,10], including those implicated in the pathogenesis of peripheral diabetic neuropathy (PDN), such as endothelin-1 [11], cyclooxygenase-2 [12,13] and inflammatory genes [14].…”
