IntroductionPoly(ADP-ribosyl)ation is a post-translation-

al modification process which plays a critical role in diverse cellular functions such as DNA damage detection and repair, transcriptional regulation, intracellular trafficking, chromatin modification, mitotic apparatus formation, and apoptosis and necrosis. The transfer of ADP-ribose (ADPr) units onto protein acceptors is catalyzed by the family of poly(ADP-ribose) polymerases (PARPs), which members are en-coded in humans by 18 different genes [1] (see right side). PARP-1 is the founding member of the PARP family [2, 3].

DNA Repair (Cell Survival)PARP-1 has been implicated in multiple DNA

repair pathways including single-strand break (SSB) repair, double strand break (DSB) repair and base excision repair (BER). The molecular mechanism of BER may involve a local chro-matin relaxation mediated either by covalent modification of histones with poly(ADP-ribose) or by non-covalent interaction of histones with poly(ADP-ribose) that automodifies the enzyme. This might regulate the accessibility to other DNA repair proteins. In addition PARP-1 or poly(ADP-ribose) (PAR) may directly recruit other repair pro-teins like XRCC1 (X-ray repair cross-complement-ing 1) to the site of DNA damage [4-7]. PARP-2 is the only other known member of the PARP family to be activated by DNA strand breaks [8]. Although its DNA-binding domain is different from that of PARP-1, PARP-2 has been shown to be required for efficient BER through interactions with XRCC1 and PARP-1 [9].

BRCA1 and BRCA2 are tumor suppressor pro-teins important for DSB repair by homologous recombination. For a review see [13]. Recently it has been demonstrated that BRCA1 or BRCA2 deficient cells have lost their ability to repair sin-gle-strand breaks by homologous recombination after PARP-1 depletion or inhibition, which can result in cell cycle arrest and apoptosis [10, 11]. This specific killing of tumor cells may be of ther-apeutic importance for some human cancers.

Apoptosis/Necrosis (Cell Death)

Whereas activation of PARP-1 by mild geno-toxic stimuli may facilitate DNA repair and cell survival, irreparable DNA damage triggers apop-totic or necrotic cell death. In several patholog-ic situations that involve massive DNA damage, excessive activation of PARP-1 depletes cellular reserve of NAD and its precursor ATP, leading to cell death via energy failure. It recently has been shown that ROS-mediated DNA damage triggers activation of the PARP-1 and subsequent cell death. Although PARP-1 mediated cell death is thought to be necrotic, recent reports have shown that PARP-1 mediated cell death also has many features in common with apoptotic forms of cell death. It is suggested that translocation of apoptosis-inducing factor (AIF) from mitochon-dria to the nucleus is required for PARP-1 medi-ated and caspase-independent cell death [12].

PARP and TranscriptionPARP-1 may regulate transcription by at least

two different mechanisms. It can act as a modu-lator of the chromatin structure, but also func-tions as a component of enhancer/promoter regulatory complexes. PARP-1 can interact with the enhancers and promoters of genes by a) di-rect sequence-specific binding to enhancers, b) recruitment via DNA binding transcription fac-tors (e.g. NF-κB), and c) direct binding to DNA structures.LIT: 1 Poly(ADP-ribose): novel functions for an old molecule: V.

Human PARP-3 (hPARP-3) (540aa, with an approx. mass of 67kDa) is a core component of the centrosome and preferentially localized to the daughter centriole throughout the cell cy-cle. The N-terminal domain (54 aa) of hPARP-3 is responsible for its centrosomal localization.

An attractive hypothesis is that the presence of both PARP-1 and PARP-3 at the centrosome may link the DNA damage surveillance network to the mitotic fidelity checkpoint.LIT: PARP-3 localizes preferentially to the daughter centriole and in-terferes with the G1/S cell cycle progression: A.

M. Yu, et al. [1] identified and character-ized a novel 150kDa protein, designated PARP-10. PARP-10 can associate with the oncopro-tein c-Myc and possesses PARP activity, capa-ble of poly (ADP-ribosyl)ating itself and core histones but neither Myc nor Max. PARP-10 shuttles between the nuclear and cytoplas-mic compartments that is controlled at least in part by a leucine-rich nuclear export se-quence. Functionally PARP-10 inhibits trans-formation of primary cells (rat embryo fibro-blasts). PARP-10 might play a role in the con-trol of cell proliferation. To regulate its target genes, c-Myc recruits several different cofac-tors. K. Lesniewicz, et al. [2] suggest that PARP-10 may function as an additional cofactor that is recruited by c-Myc.

H.Y. Chou, et al. [3] suggested that cell cy-cle-dependent phosphorylation of PARP-10 by CDK2 plays crucial functions in cell prolif-eration.LIT: 1 PARP-10, a novel Myc-interacting protein with poly(ADP-ri-bose) polymerase activity, inhibits transformation: M.

The proto-oncogene c-Myc is implicated in various physiological processes, like cell growth, proliferation, loss of differentiation and cell death. It also has been implicated in the loss of dysfunction of insulin-producing beta cells in diabetes. Recent studies in mice suggest that c-Myc has unexpected functions during both self-renewal and the differentia-tion of stem and early progenitor cells.

In an effort to identify novel c-Myc-interact-ing proteins, M. Yu, et al. (Oncogene 24, 1982 (2005)) recently discovered that PARP-10 can associate with the oncoprotein c-Myc.

XRCC1Human XRCC1 (X-ray repair cross-comple-

menting 1) is involved in base excision repair (BER) and single strand break repair (SSBR) and thought to act as a scaffolding protein for other repair factors. It has been shown to physical-ly interact with several enzymes known to be involved in the repair of SSBs, including DNA ligase IIIα, DNA polymerase β, APE1, polynu-cleotide kinase/phosphatase, poly(ADP-ribose) polymerases 1 and 2 (PARP-1 and 2) and 8-oxo-guanine DNA glycosylase (OGG1) [1-5].

Antibodies to XRCC1

Three general classes of deacetylases have been identified in eukaryotes: class I (HDACs 1, 2, 3 & 8), class II (HDACs 4, 5, 6, 7, 9 & 10), and class III HDACs (sirtuins).

Class III HDACs (SIRT1-7; Sirtuins) are the mammalian orthologs of the yeast Sir2 (Silent Information Regulator 2) protein from Sac-charomyces cerevisiae and form a structurally distinct class of NAD-dependent enzymes. Al-though there are seven mammalian sirtuins, deacetylase activity and substrate have only been reported for SIRT1, -2, -3 and -6.

SIRT1 has been shown to deacetylate sev-eral transcription factors, including the tumor suppressor protein p53, members of the FOXO family, HES-1 and HEY-2, PPARγ, MyoD, CTIP2, p300, PGC-1α, and NF-κB and has been linked to the regulation of aging. The implication of SIRT1 in a variety of processes including inflam-matory responses, cell defense, survival/cell death, muscle development, cell cycle regula-tion, axonal degeneration, DNA repair, and fatty acid metabolism has been described.

SIRT2 was shown to deacetylate α-tubulin and co-localizing with the cytoplasmic tubu-lin network, being involved in development. It also showed neuroprotective functions, con-trols insulin/IGF-1 levels in the cytoskeleton of Alzheimer disease and deacetylates p53 in the cytoplasm.

The role of sirtuins in controlling basic cellu-lar functions generated efforts in the develop-ment of small-molecule regulators that mod-ulate their cellular function. Compounds that target sirtuins may be useful in the treatment of many diseases.

NAD+ Metabolism

NAD: New Insights on a Key Signalling Player!The pyridine nucleotides NAD and phosphor-ylated NAD (NADP) are major redox carrier in all organisms. Recent years have shown an in-crease of signalling and gene regulatory proc-esses where NAD+ or NADP are metabolised. NAD+ serves as substrate for protein modifi-cation including protein deacetylation, and mono- and poly-ADP-ribosylation, while both NAD+ and NADP represent precursors of intra-cellular calcium-mobilizing molecules. It is be-yond doubt that NADP-mediated signal trans-duction does not only regulate metabolic path-ways, but holds a key position in the control of fundamental cellular processes. NAD+ kinases phosphorylate NAD+ to NADP and have poten-tial roles in stress signalling and ROS genera-tion. Components such as nicotinamide mono-nucleotide adenylyltransferase-1 (NMNAT1), which is involved in the NAD+-salvage pathway, and PARG might also contribute locally to the fine-tuning and the persistence, respectively, of PAR signalling at DNA-damage sites.

ADP-RibosylationNuclear ADP-ribosylation reactions are criti-

cal for many physiological and pathophysiolog-ical outcomes, such as cellular differentiation and proliferation, genome integrity, carcino-genesis, cell survival and cell death, inflamma-tion, and neuronal functions.

An interesting feature is the potential cross talk of mono- and poly-ADP-ribosylation reac-tions and other NAD+-dependent reactions, either directly through trans-ADP-ribosyla-tion or indirectly through modulation of the NAD+ levels.

Cross talk of SIRT1 and poly-ADP-ribosyla-tion reactions may provide balance between cell survival and cell death, longevity, and se-nescence. Moreover, SIRTs and mono- or poly-ADP-ribosylation pathways may provide a uni-fied network for multicellular eukaryotes to deal with nutritional supply and environmen-tal stress.

Various studies suggested different molecu-lar mechanisms for how mono- and poly-ADP-ribosylation reactions are integrated in diverse physiological processes. Mono- and poly-ADP-ribosylation reactions may act on the level of signalling, modulation of chromatin structure, and epigenetic histone code.

Antibodies to ARTs / P2X Receptors / CD39 Family

Mono-ADP-ribosyltransferases (ARTs; mARTs)

Enzyme-modulated mono(ADP-ribosyl)ation was originally identified as the mechanism of ac-tion of several bacterial toxins [1]. The diphteria, cholera, pertussis and clostridia toxins are mono-ADP-ribosyltransferases (ARTs; mARTs; EC 2.4.2.31), known to cause various patholo-gies after their translocation into mammalian host cells. Recently, enzymes related to these toxins have been identified in eukaryotic cells. The best known of these ARTs are ecto-enzymes that are either glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI)-anchored or secretory. The mono(ADP-ribosyl)ation is a post-translational modifica-tion resulting in the transfer of ADP-ribose from NAD+ to various acceptor proteins. In contrast to intracellular poly(ADP-ribosyl)transferases (PARPs), the ARTs transfer a single ADP-ribose and are thus mono-ARTs (mARTs) [2].

Mammalian ARTs constitute a family of struc-turally related proteins expressed on the cell surface or secreted in the extracellular compart-ment. Five paralogs (ART1-5) have been cloned. Only four of them are expressed in human due to a defective ART2 gene, and six in the mouse as the result of ART2 gene duplication (ART2.1, ART2.2) [2]. ARTs are expressed in different tis-sues [3] and are involved in many physiological processes, such as myogenesis and innate as well as adaptive immunity. (ADP-ribosyl)ation activates the purinergic receptor P2X7, induc-ing a cascade of reactions, finally leading to ap-optosis [4].

Seman, et al.; Immunity 19, 571 (2003)

P2X ReceptorsP2X receptors are a family of cation-per-

meable ligand gated ion channels that open in response to extracellular adenosine 5‘-tri-phosphate (ATP). They belong to the family of purinergic receptors. Seven genes coding for P2X subunits have been identified, and referred to as P2X1-P2X7. Each functional P2X receptor consists of three protein subunits, which are ar-ranged to form a gated, ion-permeable pore. ATP binds to the extracellular loop of the P2X receptor, and evokes a conformational change in the structure that results in the opening of the pore. This allows cations such as Na+ and Ca2+ to enter the cell, leading to depolarization of the cell membrane and the activation of vari-ous Ca2+-sensitive intracellular processes.

The CD39 FamilyCD39 was originally characterized as an

activation marker, identified in B cells, mono-cytes, and subsets of activated natural killer (NK) cells and T lymphocytes. CD39 is an ecto-nucleotidase, recently termed NTPDase-1. To-day 8 family members of NTPDases (NTPDase1-8; the CD39 family) are known. NTPDases are Ca2+- and Mg2+-dependent ecto-enzymes or ecto-nucleotidases that hydrolyze extracellu-lar nucleoside 5’-triphosphate and nucleoside 5’-diphosphate. By controlling the extracellular nucleotide levels NTPDases consequently have effects on P2 nucleotide receptor signalling. Thereby they play an important role in many cellular processes and have an impact on many physiological functions.

Latest InsightCell survival after genotoxic stress is deter-

mined by a counterbalance of pro- and anti-death factors. Sirtuins (SIRTs) are deacetylases that promote cell survival whereas poly(ADP-ribose) polymerases (PARPs) can act both as survival and death inducing factor and the two protein families are strictly dependent on NAD+ for their activities. U. Kolthur-Seethar-am, et al. report that the functional interplay of SIRT1 and PARP-1 in response to DNA dam-age results in AIF (apoptosis inducing factor)-mediated cell death. These findings establish a functional link between the two NAD+-de-pendent enzyme systems and provide a phys-iological interpretation for the mechanism of death in cells lacking SIRT1.LIT: Control of AIF-mediated cell death by the functional inter-play of SIRT1 and PARP-1 in response to DNA damage: U.

Bacterial Pertussis Toxin

Pertussis Toxin ALX-630-003-C050 50 µg Isolated from Bordetella pertussis. Pertussis toxin is the major protein toxin produced by virulent strains of Bordetella pertussis. The purified pro-tein consists of five dissimilar subunits: S-1 (MW 28kDa), S-2 (MW 23kDa), S-3 (MW 22kDa), S-4 (MW 11.7kDa) and S-5 (MW 9.3kDa), in a molar ratio of 1:1:1:2:1. S-1 (A protomer) is responsible for the enzymatic activity of the toxin. Together, S-2, S-3, S-4 and S-5 comprise the B oligomer, responsible for binding the toxin to the cell surface.LIT: Subunit structure of islet-activating protein, pertussis toxin, in conformity with the A-B model: M.
