Poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase can bind melphalan damaged DNA.

چکیده
As a means of identifying damage recognition proteins involved in repair of nitrogen mustard lesions in chronic lymphocytic leukemia, we performed Southwestern analysis using a probe damaged with melphalan and protein extracts from chronic lymphocytic leukemia patients. We detected proteins with molecular weights of 116,000, 66,000, and 64,000 which bound the damaged probe with a higher specificity than the undamaged probe. The M(r) 66,000 and 64,000 proteins were determined to be degradation products of the M(r) 116,000 protein. The M(r) 116,000 protein was identified as poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase. The use of methoxyamine, an inhibitor of DNA strand breakage following depurination, significantly reduced binding of the melphalan damaged probe to poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase. Following depletion of poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase from the cell extracts, no other binding activity was discovered. Thus, poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase is the only demonstrable protein in chronic lymphocytic leukemia cells which can bind to a DNA probe damaged with melphalan.

متن کاملInhibition of poly(ADP-ribose)polymerase causes increased DNA strand breaks without decreasing strand rejoining in alkylated HeLa cells.
Treatment of alkylated HeLa cells with 3-aminobenzamide, an inhibitor of poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase, increased the number of DNA strand breaks but did not affect the rate of strand rejoining. This suggests that an increase in DNA incision, not a decrease in ligation, results from the inhibition of poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase in cells recovering from DNA damaged by alkylating agents.
متن کاملCharacterization of the interactions of PARP-1 with UV-damaged DNA in vivo and in vitro
The existing methodologies for studying robust responses of poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase-1 (PARP-1) to DNA damage with strand breaks are often not suitable for examining its subtle responses to altered DNA without strand breaks, such as UV-damaged DNA. Here we describe two novel assays with which we characterized the interaction of PARP-1 with UV-damaged DNA in vivo and in vitro. Using an in si...
متن کاملRecognition of platinum-DNA damage by poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase-1.
Poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase-1 (PARP-1) was recently identified as a platinum-DNA damage response protein. To investigate the properties of binding of PARP-1 to different platinum-DNA adducts in greater detail, biotinylated DNA probes containing a site-specific cisplatin 1,2-d(GpG) or 1,3-d(GpTpG) intrastrand cross-link or a cisplatin 5'-GC/5'-GC interstrand cross-link (ICL) were utilized in bin...
متن کاملStimulation of the DNA-dependent protein kinase by poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase.
The DNA-dependent protein kinase (DNA-PK) is a heterotrimeric enzyme that binds to double-stranded DNA and is required for the rejoining of double-stranded DNA breaks in mammalian cells. It has been proposed that DNA-PK functions in this DNA repair pathway by binding to the ends of broken DNA molecules and phosphorylating proteins that bind to the damaged DNA ends. Another enzyme that binds to ...
