Although poly-ADP-ribosylation (PARylation) of DNA repair factors had been well documented, its role in the repair of DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) is poorly understood. NR4A nuclear orphan receptors were previously linked to DSB repair; however, their function in the process remains elusive. Classically, NR4As function as transcription factors using a specialized tandem zinc-finger DNA-binding domain (DBD) for target gene induction. Here, we show that NR4A DBD is bi-functional and can bind poly-ADP-ribose (PAR) through a pocket localized in the second zinc finger. Separation-of-function mutants demonstrate that NR4A PAR binding, while dispensable for transcriptional activity, facilitates repair of radiation-induced DNA double-strand breaks in G1. Moreover, we define DNA-PKcs protein as a prominent target of ionizing radiation-induced PARylation. Mechanistically, NR4As function by directly targeting poly-ADP-ribosylated DNA-PKcs to facilitate its autophosphorylation-promoting DNA-PK kinase assembly at DNA lesions. Selective targeting of the PAR-binding pocket of NR4A presents an opportunity for cancer therapy.

View all literature mentionsNon-profit plasmid repository dedicated to helping scientists around the world share high-quality plasmids. Facilitates archiving and distributing DNA-based research reagents and associated data to scientists worldwide. Repository contains over 65,000 plasmids, including special collections on CRISPR, fluorescent proteins, and ready-to-use viral preparations. There is no cost for scientists to deposit plasmids, which saves time and money associated with shipping plasmids themselves. All plasmids are fully sequenced for validation and sequencing data is openly available. We handle the appropriate Material Transfer Agreements (MTA) with institutions, facilitating open exchange and offering intellectual property and liability protection for depositing scientists. Furthermore, we curate free educational resources for the scientific community including a blog, eBooks, video protocols, and detailed molecular biology resources.
