Free ADP-ribose is a turnover product of NAD+, protein-bound polymeric and monomeric ADP-ribose, and cyclic ADP-ribose. But little is known about the specific cellular roles or metabolism of free ADP-ribose. ADP-ribose pyrophosphatase (EC 3.6.1.13), which hydrolyzes ADP-ribose into AMP and ribose-5'-phosphate, was purified from human erythrocytes. Purification was achieved to homogeneity by successive chromatographic steps, resulting in a final purification of 75,790-fold from the hemolysate. The purified enzyme showed a single band with the molecular weight of 34 kDa on SDS-PAGE both in the presence and absence of 2-mercaptoethanol. The molecular weight of the native enzyme calculated by gel filtration was 68 kDa, indicating that the active enzyme is a dimer of identical subunits. The enzyme requiring Mg2+ showed highest activity toward ADP-ribose, and about 40-70% activities with IDP-ribose, ADP-mannose and GDP-mannose. The enzyme showed a Km of 169 +/- 11 microM for ADP-ribose, broad pH optimum around pH 9.5, and pI of 5.1. ADP was a potent noncompetitive inhibitor with a Ki of 16 +/- 1.2 microM. These results suggest that our enzyme is unique, and different from the other ADP-ribose pyrophosphatases reported. ADP-ribose pyrophosphatase may play an important role in the regulation of intracellular steady-state of free ADP-ribose.
Cyclic adenosine 5'-diphosphate ribose (cADPR) analogs based on the cyclic inosine 5'-diphosphate ribose (cIDPR) template were synthesized by recently developed stereo- and regioselective N1-ribosylation. Replacing the base N9-ribose with a butyl chain generates inhibitors of cADPR hydrolysis by the human ADP-ribosyl cyclase CD38 catalytic domain (shCD38), illustrating the nonessential nature of the "southern" ribose for binding. Butyl substitution generally improves potency relative to the parent cIDPRs, and 8-amino-N9-butyl-cIDPR is comparable to the best noncovalent CD38 inhibitors to date (IC50 = 3.3 μM). Crystallographic analysis of the shCD38:8-amino-N9-butyl-cIDPR complex to a 2.05 Å resolution unexpectedly reveals an N1-hydrolyzed ligand in the active site, suggesting that it is the N6-imino form of cADPR that is hydrolyzed by CD38. While HPLC studies confirm ligand cleavage at very high protein concentrations, they indicate that hydrolysis does not occur under physiological concentrations. Taken together, these analogs confirm that the "northern" ribose is critical for CD38 activity and inhibition, provide new insight into the mechanism of cADPR hydrolysis by CD38, and may aid future inhibitor design.
Adenosine 5'-diphosphate ribose (ADPR) is an intracellular signalling molecule generated from nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+). Synthetic ADPR analogues can shed light on the mechanism of activation of ADPR targets and their downstream effects. Such chemical biology studies, however, are often challenging due to the negatively charged pyrophosphate, also sensitive to cellular pyrophosphatases, and prior work on an initial ADPR target, the transient receptor potential cation channel TRPM2, showed complete pyrophosphate group replacement to be a step too far in maintaining biological activity. Thus, we designed ADPR analogues with just one of the negatively charged phosphate groups removed, by employing a phosphonoacetate linker. Synthesis of two novel phosphonoacetate ADPR analogues is described via tandem N,N'-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide coupling to phosphonoacetic acid. Neither analogue, however, showed significant agonist or antagonist activity towards TRPM2, underlining the importance of a complete pyrophosphate motif in activation of this particular receptor.
Ovarian cancer is one of the leading causes of death from gynecologic cancers. In this present era of cancer treatment, therapeutic options for patients with advanced or recurrent ovarian cancer are limited. The present standard of care treatment for advanced ovarian cancer is a platinum-based doublet chemotherapy (paclitaxel and carboplatin with or without bevacizumab) after a maximum attempt of surgical cytoreduction. However, there are no promising options for the management of patients with ovarian cancer refractory to the platinum-based chemotherapy. Therefore, newer, safe, and more effective treatment modalities are required for patients with advanced or recurrent ovarian cancer. Poly(adenosine diphosphate [ADP]-ribose) polymerase (PARP) inhibitors have shown an impressive safety profile and anti-tumor efficacy in patients with breast cancer 1 and 2 (BRCA1 and BRCA2) gene-mutated ovarian cancer who were previously treated with the standard of care chemotherapy. We have done a detailed review of the literature to emphasize the role of PARP inhibitors in the treatment of advanced or relapsed ovarian cancer.
TRPM2 (transient receptor potential cation channel, subfamily M, member 2) is a nonselective cation channel involved in the response to oxidative stress and in inflammation. Its role in autoimmune and neurodegenerative diseases makes it an attractive pharmacological target. Binding of the nucleotide adenosine 5'-diphosphate ribose (ADPR) to the cytosolic NUDT9 homology (NUDT9 H) domain activates the channel. A detailed understanding of how ADPR interacts with the TRPM2 ligand binding domain is lacking, hampering the rational design of modulators, but the terminal ribose of ADPR is known to be essential for activation. To study its role in more detail, we designed synthetic routes to novel analogues of ADPR and 2'-deoxy-ADPR that were modified only by removal of a single hydroxyl group from the terminal ribose. The ADPR analogues were obtained by coupling nucleoside phosphorimidazolides to deoxysugar phosphates. The corresponding C2″-based analogues proved to be unstable. The C1″- and C3″-ADPR analogues were evaluated electrophysiologically by patch-clamp in TRPM2-expressing HEK293 cells. In addition, a compound with all hydroxyl groups of the terminal ribose blocked as its 1″-β- O-methyl-2″,3″- O-isopropylidene derivative was evaluated. Removal of either C1″ or C3″ hydroxyl groups from ADPR resulted in loss of agonist activity. Both these modifications and blocking all three hydroxyl groups resulted in TRPM2 antagonists. Our results demonstrate the critical role of these hydroxyl groups in channel activation.
Ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury after lung transplantation causes alveolar damage, lung edema, and acute rejection. Poly(adenosine diphosphate-ribose) polymerase (PARP) is a single-stranded DNA repair enzyme that induces apoptosis and necrosis after DNA damage caused by reactive oxygen species. We evaluated tissue protective effects of the PARP inhibitor (PARP-i) PJ34 against pulmonary I/R injury.
Acute lung injury (ALI) is a common complication of sepsis that is associated with high mortality. Intracellular Ca2+ overload plays an important role in the pathophysiology of sepsis-induced ALI, and cyclic adenosine diphosphate ribose (cADPR) is an important regulator of intracellular Ca2+ mobilization. The cluster of differentiation 38 (CD38)/cADPR pathway has been found to play roles in multiple inflammatory processes but its role in sepsis-induced ALI is still unknown. This study aimed to investigate whether the CD38/cADPR signaling pathway is activated in sepsis-induced ALI and whether blocking cADPR-mediated calcium overload attenuates ALI.
The biochemical phenomenon defined as poly adenosine diphosphate (ADP)-ribosylation (PARylation) is essential for the progression of pancreatic cancer. However, the excessive accumulation of poly ADP-ribose (PAR) induces apoptosis-inducing factor (AIF) release from mitochondria and energy deprivation resulting in the caspase-independent death of cancer cells.
Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is a severe form of lung injury that frequently occurs during pneumonia and sepsis. Lung inflammation in ARDS patients may have deleterious effects on remote organs such as the kidney. The nuclear enzyme poly(adenosine diphosphate-ribose) polymerase (PARP) enhances the nuclear factor (NF)-κB-dependent transcription of inflammatory cytokines. This study was conducted to elucidate two questions: first, whether the activation of PARP and NF-κB mediates the renal inflammation secondary to the lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced acute lung inflammation; second, whether a PARP inhibitor, 3-aminobenzamide (3-AB), attenuates lung and kidney inflammation by inhibiting NF-κB-dependent proinflammatory cytokines.
Prostate cancer (Pca) is a heterogeneous disease, and current treatments are not based on molecular stratification. Poly(adenosine diphosphate [ADP]-ribose) polymerase (PARP) inhibitors have recently been found to be remarkably toxic to cells with defects in homologous recombination, particularly cells with BRCA-mutated backgrounds. Therefore, this preliminary study was designed to evaluate whether PTEN expression status could have an impact on the sensitivity of invasive Pca cells to the PARP inhibitor, AZD2461.
To investigate the efficacy and safety of poly (adenosine diphosphate [ADP]-ribose) polymerase (PARP) inhibitors (including their different types) as maintenance therapy in women with newly diagnosed ovarian cancer, and to explore whether this therapy produces a survival benefit in a subgroup population with specific clinical characteristics.
Carcinosarcoma (CS) of the ovary and uterus are highly aggressive malignancies associated with poor survival. Poly(ADP-ribose)-polymerase inhibitors (PARPi) are targeted agents impairing DNA repair via homologous-recombination-deficiency (HRD) mechanisms. We used whole-exome-sequencing (WES) data from a cohort of fresh tumor samples of ovarian (OCS) and uterine carcinosarcoma (UCS), primary cell lines and xenografts to investigate the role for olaparib in CSs.
Few inhibitors exist for CD38, a multifunctional enzyme catalyzing the formation and metabolism of the Ca(2+)-mobilizing second messenger cyclic adenosine 5'-diphosphoribose (cADPR). Synthetic, non-hydrolyzable ligands can facilitate structure-based inhibitor design. Molecular docking was used to reproduce the crystallographic binding mode of cyclic inosine 5'-diphosphoribose (N1-cIDPR) with CD38, revealing an exploitable pocket and predicting the potential to introduce an extra hydrogen bond interaction with Asp-155. The purine C-8 position of N1-cIDPR (IC50 276 µM) was extended with an amino or diaminobutane group and the 8-modified compounds were evaluated against CD38-catalyzed cADPR hydrolysis. Crystallography of an 8-amino N1-cIDPR:CD38 complex confirmed the predicted interaction with Asp-155, together with a second H-bond from a realigned Glu-146, rationalizing the improved inhibition (IC50 56 µM). Crystallography of a complex of cyclic ADP-carbocyclic ribose (cADPcR, IC50 129 µM) with CD38 illustrated that Glu-146 hydrogen bonds with the ligand N6-amino group. Both 8-amino N1-cIDPR and cADPcR bind deep in the active site reaching the catalytic residue Glu-226, and mimicking the likely location of cADPR during catalysis. Substantial overlap of the N1-cIDPR "northern" ribose monophosphate and the cADPcR carbocyclic ribose monophosphate regions suggests that this area is crucial for inhibitor design, leading to a new compound series of N1-inosine 5'-monophosphates (N1-IMPs). These small fragments inhibit hydrolysis of cADPR more efficiently than the parent cyclic compounds, with the best in the series demonstrating potent inhibition (IC50 = 7.6 µM). The lower molecular weight and relative simplicity of these compounds compared to cADPR make them attractive as a starting point for further inhibitor design.
To investigate whether cell proliferation and PRL gene expression in female rat pituitary during estrous cycle were mediated by the poly (ADP)-ribosylation of chromatin proteins, anterior pituitaries at different estrous cycle were obtained from female Wistar rats, and poly (ADP-ribose) synthesis, DNA synthesis, PRL and GH messenger RNAs and PRL content in the pituitary, and serum concentrations of PRL and estradiol were analyzed. From diestrus to proestrus, poly (ADP-ribose) synthesis, the contents of PRL messenger RNA and PRL in the pituitary increased significantly, and decreased at estrus. However, DNA synthesis and serum concentration of PRL showed a significant increase from proestrus to estrus. Serum estradiol concentration increased from diestrus to proestrus. No significant change was observed in the pituitary GH messenger RNA content during estrous cycle. The increase of PRL messenger RNA from diestrus to proestrus was abolished completely by the administration of nicotinamide, an inhibitor of poly (ADP-ribose) synthesis, to rats at diestrus. These results indicate that poly (ADP)-ribosylation of chromatin proteins may play some role in cell proliferation and transcription of PRL gene during rat estrous cycle.
Zinc-finger antiviral protein (ZAP), also known as poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase 13 (PARP13), is an antiviral factor that selectively targets viral RNA for degradation. ZAP is active against both DNA and RNA viruses, including important human pathogens such as hepatitis B virus and type 1 human immunodeficiency virus (HIV-1). ZAP selectively binds CpG dinucleotides through its N-terminal RNA-binding domain, which consists of four zinc fingers. ZAP also contains a central region that consists of a fifth zinc finger and two WWE domains. Through structural and biochemical studies, we found that the fifth zinc finger and tandem WWEs of ZAP combine into a single integrated domain that binds to poly(ADP-ribose) (PAR), a cellular polynucleotide. PAR binding is mediated by the second WWE module of ZAP and likely involves specific recognition of an adenosine diphosphate-containing unit of PAR. Mutation of the PAR binding site in ZAP abrogates the interaction in vitro and diminishes ZAP activity against a CpG-rich HIV-1 reporter virus and murine leukemia virus. In cells, PAR facilitates formation of non-membranous sub-cellular compartments such as DNA repair foci, spindle poles and cytosolic RNA stress granules. Our results suggest that ZAP-mediated viral mRNA degradation is facilitated by PAR, and provides a biophysical rationale for the reported association of ZAP with RNA stress granules.
Poly(ADP-ribosyl)ation, which is mainly involved in DNA repair and replication, is catalyzed mainly by poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase-1 (PARP-1) and poly(ADP-ribose) glycohydrolase (PARG). Although recombinant human PARP-1 (hPARP-1) is commercially available, there are no reports on the preparation of recombinant human PARG (hPARG). Here, we report the efficient expression and purification of a recombinant hPARG-catalytic domain (hPARG-CD) from Escherichia coli (E. coli). hPARG-CD was expressed as a fusion protein with a glutathione S-transferase (GST) tag at the N-terminus and a hexahistidine (6His) tag at the C-terminus. Both high cell density and low temperature culture conditions were important for the maximum production of soluble recombinant hPARG-CD. After sequential affinity chromatography using immobilized metal affinity resin and glutathione-Sepharose (GSH-Sephasrose), more than 95% pure recombinant hPARG-CD was obtained with a yield of approximately 2mg per 1L of E. coli culture medium. The km and Vmax values of purified recombinant hPARG-CD were 9.0 μM and 35.6 μmol/min/mg protein, respectively. These kinetic values were similar to those of purified endogenous hPARG reported previously. Furthermore, the recombinant hPARG-CD was inhibited by known PARG inhibitors such as adenosine diphosphate (hydroxymethyl) pyrrolidinediol (ADP-HPD), eosin Y, and phloxine B. These results show that the recombinant hPARG-CD is useful to search for specific inhibitors and to elucidate the regulatory mechanisms of hPARG.
Poly(ADP-ribose) (PAR) is a homopolymer of adenosine diphosphate ribose that is added to proteins as a posttranslational modification to regulate numerous cellular processes. PAR also serves as a scaffold for protein binding in macromolecular complexes, including biomolecular condensates. It remains unclear how PAR achieves specific molecular recognition. Here, we use single-molecule fluorescence resonance energy transfer (smFRET) to evaluate PAR flexibility under different cation conditions. We demonstrate that, compared to RNA and DNA, PAR has a longer persistence length and undergoes a sharper transition from extended to compact states in physiologically relevant concentrations of various cations (Na+, Mg2+, Ca2+, and spermine4+). We show that the degree of PAR compaction depends on the concentration and valency of cations. Furthermore, the intrinsically disordered protein FUS also served as a macromolecular cation to compact PAR. Taken together, our study reveals the inherent stiffness of PAR molecules, which undergo switch-like compaction in response to cation binding. This study indicates that a cationic environment may drive recognition specificity of PAR.
Transient potential receptor melastatin-2 (TRPM2) is a non-selective Ca(2+)-permeable cation channel of the TRPM channel subfamily and is mainly activated by intracellular adenosine diphosphate ribose (ADPR). Here we synthesized a 1-(2-nitrophenyl)ethyl caged ADPR (NPE-ADPR) and found that uncaging of NPE-ADPR efficiently stimulated Ca(2+), Mg(2+), and Zn(2+) influx in a concentration-dependent manner in intact human Jurkat T-lymphocytes. The cation influx was inhibited by inhibitors or knockdown of TRPM2. Likewise, uncaging of NPE-ADPR markedly induced cation entry in HEK 293 cells that overexpress TRPM2. As expected, high temperature increased the ability of the photolyzed NPE-ADPR to induce cation entry, whereas acidic pH inhibited. Moreover, the absence of extracellular Ca(2+) significantly inhibited Mg(2+) and Zn(2+) influx after uncaging NPE-ADPR. On the other hand, the absence of extracellular Na(+) or Mg(2+) had no effect on photolyzed NPE-ADPR induced Ca(2+) entry. Taken together, our results indicated that NPE-ADPR is a cell permeable ADPR analogue that is useful for studying TRPM2-mediated cation entry in intact cells.
Cyclic adenosine diphosphate ribose is an endogenous Ca(2+) mobilizer involved in diverse cellular processes. A cell membrane-permeable cyclic adenosine diphosphate ribose analogue, cyclic inosine diphosphoribose ether (cIDPRE), can induce Ca(2+) increase in intact human Jurkat T-lymphocytes. Here we synthesized a coumarin-caged analogue of cIDPRE (Co-i-cIDPRE), aiming to have a precisely temporal and spatial control of bioactive cIDPRE release inside the cell using UV uncaging. We showed that Co-i-cIDPRE accumulated inside Jurkat cells quickly and efficiently. Uncaging of Co-i-cIDPRE evoked Ca(2+) release from endoplasmic reticulum, with concomitant Ca(2+) influx in Jurkat cells. Ca(2+) release evoked by uncaged Co-i-cIDPRE was blocked by knockdown of ryanodine receptors (RyRs) 2 and 3 in Jurkat cells. The associated Ca(2+) influx, on the other hand, was abolished by double knockdown of Stim1 and TRPM2 in Jurkat cells. Furthermore, Ca(2+) release or influx evoked by uncaged Co-i-cIDPRE was recapitulated in HEK293 cells that overexpress RyRs or TRPM2, respectively, but not in wild-type cells lacking these channels. In summary, our results indicate that uncaging of Co-i-cIDPRE incites Ca(2+) release from endoplasmic reticulum via RyRs and triggers Ca(2+) influx via TRPM2.
