Poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase is a 113-kDa nuclear
enzyme that binds to both damaged DNA and to RNA associated with
actively transcribed regions of chromatin. Binding of poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase to DNA lesions activates it, catalyzing the covalent addition of multiple ADP-ribose polymers to the enzyme
(automodification). During apoptosis, poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase is
cleaved by caspase-3, resulting in the formation of an N-terminal
24-kDa fragment, containing the DNA binding domain, and a C-terminal
89-kDa catalytic fragment. The functional relevance of this cleavage is
not well understood. We therefore prepared a recombinant 24-kDa
poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase fragment and investigated the role of this
fragment in DNA repair and transcription. The 24-kDa fragment retained
its binding affinity for both DNA breaks and RNA. In an in
vitro cell-free DNA repair assay, this fragment inhibited
rejoining of DNA breaks and suppressed ADP-ribose polymer formation by
competing with poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase in binding to DNA breaks.
With regard to transcription, it has recently been demonstrated that
binding of poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase to transcribed RNA reduces
the rate of transcript elongation and that automodification of
poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase bound to DNA breaks results in
up-regulation of transcription. We tested the 24-kDa fragment for its
ability to suppress transcript elongation, and we found that it
competed against the up-regulation of transcription mediated by
full-length poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase. The ability of the 24-kDa
fragment to inhibit DNA repair, ADP-ribose polymer formation, and
damage-dependent up-regulation of transcription may
contribute to the apoptotic shift from cell survival to cell death mode.
