Abstract
Poly (ADP-ribose) glycohydrolase (PARG) inhibitors are currently under clinical development for the treatment of DNA repair-deficient cancers; however, their precise mechanism of action is still unclear. Here, we report that PARG inhibition leads to excessive PARylated poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase 1 (PARP1) reducing the ability of PARP1 to properly localize to sites of DNA damage. Strikingly, the mis-localized PARP1 accumulates as aggregates throughout the nucleus. Abrogation of the catalytic activity of PARP1 prevents aggregate formation, indicating that PAR chains play a key role in this process. Finally, we find that PARP1 nuclear aggregates were highly persistent and were associated with cleaved cytoplasmic PARP1, ultimately leading to cell death. Overall, our data uncover an unexpected mechanism of PARG inhibitor cytotoxicity, which will shed light on the use of these drugs as anti-cancer therapeutics.
期刊介绍:
Structure aims to publish papers of exceptional interest in the field of structural biology. The journal strives to be essential reading for structural biologists, as well as biologists and biochemists that are interested in macromolecular structure and function. Structure strongly encourages the submission of manuscripts that present structural and molecular insights into biological function and mechanism. Other reports that address fundamental questions in structural biology, such as structure-based examinations of protein evolution, folding, and/or design, will also be considered. We will consider the application of any method, experimental or computational, at high or low resolution, to conduct structural investigations, as long as the method is appropriate for the biological, functional, and mechanistic question(s) being addressed. Likewise, reports describing single-molecule analysis of biological mechanisms are welcome.
In general, the editors encourage submission of experimental structural studies that are enriched by an analysis of structure-activity relationships and will not consider studies that solely report structural information unless the structure or analysis is of exceptional and broad interest. Studies reporting only homology models, de novo models, or molecular dynamics simulations are also discouraged unless the models are informed by or validated by novel experimental data; rationalization of a large body of existing experimental evidence and making testable predictions based on a model or simulation is often not considered sufficient.
