The expression of poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase during differentiation-linked DNA replication reveals that it is a component of the multiprotein DNA replication complex.
Biochemistry 1996 September 11
3T3-L1 preadipocytes have been shown to exhibit a transient increase in poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) protein and activity, as well as an association of PARP with DNA polymerase alpha, within 12-24 h of exposure to inducers of differentiation, whereas 3T3-L1 cells expressing PARP antisense RNA showed no increase in PARP and are unable to complete the round of DNA replication required for differentiation into adipocytes. The role of PARP in differentiation-linked DNA replication has now been further clarified at both the cellular and enzymological levels. Flow cytometric analysis revealed that control 3T3-L1 cells progressed through one round of DNA replication prior to the onset of terminal differentiation, whereas cells expressing PARP antisense RNA were blocked at the G0/G1 phase of the cell cycle. Confocal microscope image analysis of control S phase cells demonstrated that PARP was localized within distinct intranuclear granular foci associated with DNA replication centers. On the basis of these results, purified replicative complexes from other cell types that had been characterized for their ability to catalyze viral DNA replication in vitro were analyzed for the presence of PARP. PARP exclusively copurified through a series of centrifugation and chromatography steps with core proteins of an 18-21S multiprotein replication complex (MRC) from human HeLa cells, as well as with the corresponding mouse MRC from FM3A cells. The MRC were shown to contain DNA polymerases alpha and delta, DNA primase, DNA helicase, DNA ligase, and topoisomerases I and II, as well as accessory proteins such as PCNA, RF-C, and RP-A. Finally, immunoblot analysis of MRCs from both cell types with monoclonal antibodies to poly (ADP-ribose) revealed the presence of approximately 15 poly(ADP-ribosyl)ated proteins, some of which were further confirmed to be DNA polymerase alpha, DNA topoisomerase I, and PCNA by immunoprecipitation experiments. These results suggest that PARP may play a regulatory role within the replicative apparatus as a molecular nick sensor controlling the progression of the replication fork or modulates component replicative enzymes or factors in the complex by directly associating with them or by catalyzing their poly(ADP-ribosyl)ation.
