Phosphatase 1 nuclear targeting subunit mediates recruitment and function of poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase 1 in DNA repair

Poly (ADP-ribose) polymerases (PARP), particularly PARP1, play an essential role in the detection and repair of DNA single strand breaks (SSB) and double strand breaks (DSB). PARP1 accumulates at DNA damage sites within seconds after DNA damage to catalyze the massive induction of substrate protein poly ADP-ribosylation (PARylation). However, the molecular mechanisms underlying the recruitment and activation of PARP1 in DNA repair are not fully understood. Here we show that PNUTS is a robust binding partner of PARP1. Inhibition of PNUTS led to strong accumulation of endogenous DNA damage and sensitized the cellular response to a wide range of DNA-damaging agents, implicating PNUTS as an essential and multifaceted regulator of DNA repair. Recruitment of PNUTS to laser-induced DNA damage was similar to that of PARP1, and depletion or inhibition of PARP1 abrogated recruitment of PNUTS to sites of DNA damage. Conversely, PNUTS was required for efficient induction of substrate PARylation after DNA damage. PNUTS bound the BRCA1 C-terminal (BRCT) domain of PARP1 and was required for the recruitment of PARP1 to sites of DNA damage. Finally, depletion of PNUTS rendered cancer cells hypersensitive to PARP inhibition. Taken together, our study characterizes PNUTS as an essential partner of PARP1 in DNA repair and a potential drug target in cancer therapy.
