    Abstract ADP-ribosyltransferases PARP1 and PARP2 play a major role in DNA repair mechanism by detecting the DNA damage and inducing poly-ADP-ribosylation dependent chromatin relaxation and recruitment of repair proteins. Catalytic PARP inhibitors are used as anticancer drugs especially in the case of tumors arising from sensitizing mutations. Recently, a study showed that Histone PARylation Factor (HPF1) forms a joint active site with PARP1/2. The interaction of HPF1 with PARP1/2 alters the modification site from Aspartate/Glutamate to Serine, which has been shown to be a key ADP-ribosylation event in the context of DNA damage. Therefore, disruption of PARP1/2-HPF1 interaction could be an alternative strategy for drug development to block the PARP1/2 activity. In this study, we describe a FRET based high-throughput screening assay to screen inhibitor libraries against PARP-HPF1 interaction. We optimized the conditions for FRET signal and verified the interaction by competing the FRET pair in multiple ways. The assay is robust and easy to automate. Validatory screening showed the robust performance of the assay, and we discovered two compounds Dimethylacrylshikonin and Alkannin, with µM inhibition potency against PARP1/2-HPF1 interaction. The assay will facilitate the discovery of inhibitors against HPF1-PARP1/2 complex and to develop potentially new effective anticancer agents.

    Abstract Human mono-ADP-ribosylating PARP enzymes have been linked to several clinically relevant processes and many of these PARPs have been suggested as potential drug targets. Despite recent advances in the field, efforts to discover inhibitors have been hindered by the lack of tools to rapidly screen for high potency compounds and profile them against the different enzymes. We engineered mono-ART catalytic fragments to be incorporated into a cellulosome-based octavalent scaffold. Compared to the free enzymes, the scaffold-based system results in an improved activity for the tested PARPs due to improved solubility, stability and the proximity of the catalytic domains, altogether boosting their activity beyond 10-fold in the case of PARP12. This allows us to measure their activity using a homogeneous NAD+ conversion assay, facilitating its automation to lower the assay volume and costs. The approach will enable the discovery of more potent compounds due to increased assay sensitivity.

    Abstract Human PARP2/ARTD2 is an ADP-ribosyltransferase which, when activated by 5'-phosphorylated DNA ends, catalyses poly-ADP-ribosylation of itself, other proteins and DNA. In this study, a crystal structure of PARP2 in complex with an activating 5'-phosphorylated DNA shows that the WGR domain bridges the dsDNA gap and joins the DNA ends. This DNA binding results in major conformational changes, including reorganization of helical fragments, in the PARP2 regulatory domain. A comparison of PARP1 and PARP2 crystal structures reveals how binding to a DNA damage site leads to formation of a catalytically competent conformation. In this conformation, PARP2 is capable of binding substrate NAD

    Abstract Tankyrases are poly-ADP-ribosyltransferases that regulate many crucial and diverse cellular processes in humans such as Wnt signaling, telomere homeostasis, mitotic spindle formation and glucose metabolism. While tankyrases are present in most animals, functional differences across species may exist. In this work, we confirm the widespread distribution of tankyrases throughout the branches of multicellular animal life and identify the single-celled choanoflagellates as earliest origin of tankyrases. We further show that the sequences and structural aspects of TNKSs are well-conserved even between distantly related species. We also experimentally characterized an anciently diverged tankyrase homolog from the sponge

    Abstract Here, we describe a protocol to set up a screening assay for ADP-ribosyl binding proteins including proteins that possess O-glycosidase or N-glycosidase activities. The FRET-based assay measures the interaction of any ADP-ribosyl binding protein fused to CFP with a cysteine-ADP-ribosylated GAP-tag fused to YFP. Recombinant PtxS1 and PARP2 are used to mono-ADP-ribosylate and poly-ADP-ribosylate the GAP-tag. The protocol does not require specialized compounds or substrates, making it accessible and easy to adapt in any laboratory or for other proteins of interest.

    Abstract De novo design has been a hotly pursued topic for many years. Most recent developments have involved the use of deep learning methods for generative molecular design. Despite increasing levels of algorithmic sophistication, the design of molecules that are synthetically accessible remains a major challenge. Reaction-based de novo design takes a conceptually simpler approach and aims to address synthesisability directly by mimicking synthetic chemistry and driving structural transformations by known reactions that are applied in a stepwise manner. However, the use of a small number of hand-coded transformations restricts the chemical space that can be accessed and there are few examples in the literature where molecules and their synthetic routes have been designed and executed successfully. Here we describe the application of reaction-based de novo design to the design of synthetically accessible and biologically active compounds as proof-of-concept of our reaction vector-based software. Reaction vectors are derived automatically from known reactions and allow access to a wide region of synthetically accessible chemical space. The design was aimed at producing molecules that are active against PARP1 and which have improved brain penetration properties compared to existing PARP1 inhibitors. We synthesised a selection of the designed molecules according to the provided synthetic routes and tested them experimentally. The results demonstrate that reaction vectors can be applied to the design of novel molecules of biological relevance that are also synthetically accessible.
