Abstract
Recent findings have thrust poly(ADP-ribose) polymerases (PARPs) into the limelight as potential chemotherapeutic targets. To provide a framework for understanding these recent observations, we review what is known about the structures and functions of the family of PARP enzymes, and then outline a series of questions that should be addressed to guide the rational development of PARP inhibitors as anticancer agents.

Abstract
ADP-ribosylation is a post-translational modification of proteins catalyzed by ADP-ribosyltransferases. It comprises the transfer of the ADP-ribose moiety from NAD+ to specific amino acid residues on substrate proteins or to ADP-ribose itself. Currently, 22 human genes encoding proteins that possess an ADP-ribosyltransferase catalytic domain are known. Recent structural and enzymological evidence of poly(ADP-ribose)polymerase (PARP) family members demonstrate that earlier proposed names and classifications of these proteins are no longer accurate. Here we summarize these new findings and propose a new consensus nomenclature for all ADP-ribosyltransferases (ARTs) based on the catalyzed reaction and on structural features. A unified nomenclature would facilitate communication between researchers both inside and outside the ADP-ribosylation field.

Abstract
The PARP-3 protein is closely related to the PARP-1 and PARP-2 proteins, which are involved in DNA repair and genome maintenance. Here, we characterized the biochemical properties of human PARP-3. PARP-3 is able to ADP-ribosylate itself as well as histone H1, a previously unknown substrate for PARP-3. PARP-3 is not activated upon binding to DNA and is a mono-ADP-ribosylase, in contrast to PARP-1 and PARP-2. PARP-3 interacts with PARP-1 and activates PARP-1 in the absence of DNA, resulting in synthesis of polymers of ADP-ribose. The N-terminal WGR domain of PARP-3 is involved in this activation. The functional interaction between PARP-3 and PARP-1 suggests that it may have a role in DNA repair. However, here we report that PARP-3 small interfering RNA-depleted cells are not sensitive to the topoisomerase I poison camptothecin, inducing DNA single-strand breaks, and repair these lesions as efficiently as wild-type cells. Altogether, these results suggest that the interaction between PARP-1 and PARP-3 is unrelated to DNA single-strand break repair.

Abstract
Cell division is commonly thought to involve the equal distribution of cellular components into the two daughter cells. During many cell divisions, however, proteins, membrane compartments, organelles, or even DNA are asymmetrically distributed between the two daughter cells. Here, we review the various types of asymmetries that have been described in yeast and in animal cells. Asymmetric segregation of protein determinants is particularly relevant for stem cell biology. We summarize the relevance of asymmetric cell divisions in various stem cell systems and discuss why defects in asymmetric cell division can lead to the formation of tumors.

Abstract
The capability of PARP activity inhibitors to prevent DNA damage recovery suggested the use of these drugs as chemo- and radio-sensitisers for cancer therapy. Our research, carried out on cultured human M14 melanoma cells, was aimed to examine if PJ-34, a potent PARP activity inhibitor of second generation, was per se able to affect the viability of these cancer cells without any DNA damaging agents. Using time-lapse videomicroscopy, we evidenced that 10 microM PJ-34 treatment induced severe mitotic defects leading to dramatic reduction of cell proliferation and to cell death. PJ-34 cytotoxic effect was further confirmed by analysis of cell viability and clonogenic assay. Absence of canonic apoptosis markers allowed us to exclude this kind of cell death. No single and/or double stranded DNA damage was evidenced. Immunofluorescence analysis showed an aberrant mitotic scenario in several cells and subsequent multinucleation suggesting an atypical way for cells to die: the mitotic catastrophe. The detection of aberrant accumulation of polymerised actin inside the nucleolus was noteworthy. Taken together, our results demonstrate that, targeting PARP activity by PJ-34, cancer cell survival is affected independently of DNA damage repair. Two findings are remarkable: (a) cisplatin concentration can be reduced by three quarters if it is followed by treatment with 10 microM PJ-34 for 24 h to obtain the same cytotoxic effect; (b) effects dependent on PJ-34 treatment are reversible. Our data suggest that, to reduce the harm done to non-tumour cells during chemotherapy with cisplatin, the latter could be coupled with PJ-34 treatment.

Abstract
Maintaining the integrity of sperm DNA is vital to reproduction and male fertility. Sperm contain a number of molecules and pathways for the repair of base excision, base mismatches and DNA strand breaks. The presence of Poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP), a DNA repair enzyme, and its homologues has recently been shown in male germ cells, specifically during stage VII of spermatogenesis. High PARP expression has been reported in mature spermatozoa and in proven fertile men. Whenever there are strand breaks in sperm DNA due to oxidative stress, chromatin remodeling or cell death, PARP is activated. However, the cleavage of PARP by caspase-3 inactivates it and inhibits PARP's DNA-repairing abilities. Therefore, cleaved PARP (cPARP) may be considered a marker of apoptosis. The presence of higher levels of cPARP in sperm of infertile men adds a new proof for the correlation between apoptosis and male infertility. This review describes the possible biological significance of PARP in mammalian cells with the focus on male reproduction. The review elaborates on the role played by PARP during spermatogenesis, sperm maturation in ejaculated spermatozoa and the potential role of PARP as new marker of sperm damage. PARP could provide new strategies to preserve fertility in cancer patients subjected to genotoxic stresses and may be a key to better male reproductive health.

Abstract
Poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase-1 (Parp-1) and the protein deacetylase SirT1 are two of the most effective NAD(+)-consuming enzymes in the cell with key functions in genome integrity and chromatin-based pathways. Here, we examined the in vivo crosstalk between both proteins. We observed that the double disruption of both genes in mice tends to increase late post-natal lethality before weaning consistent with important roles of both proteins in genome integrity during mouse development. We identified increased spontaneous telomeric abnormalities associated with decreased cell growth in the absence of either SirT1 or SirT1 and Parp-1 in mouse cells. In contrast, the additional disruption of Parp-1 rescued the abnormal pericentric heterochromatin, the nucleolar disorganization and the mitotic defects observed in SirT1-deficient cells. Together, these findings are in favor of key functions of both proteins in cellular response to DNA damage and in the modulation of histone modifications associated with constitutive heterochromatin integrity.

Abstract
RADICAL-INDUCED CELL DEATH1 (RCD1) and SIMILAR TO RCD ONE1 (SRO1) are the only two proteins encoded in the Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) genome containing both a putative poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase catalytic domain and a WWE protein-protein interaction domain, although similar proteins have been found in other eukaryotes. Poly(ADP-ribose) polymerases mediate the attachment of ADP-ribose units from donor NAD(+) molecules to target proteins and have been implicated in a number of processes, including DNA repair, apoptosis, transcription, and chromatin remodeling. We have isolated mutants in both RCD1 and SRO1, rcd1-3 and sro1-1, respectively. rcd1-3 plants display phenotypic defects as reported for previously isolated alleles, most notably reduced stature. In addition, rcd1-3 mutants display a number of additional developmental defects in root architecture and maintenance of reproductive development. While single mutant sro1-1 plants are relatively normal, loss of a single dose of SRO1 in the rcd1-3 background increases the severity of several developmental defects, implying that these genes do share some functions. However, rcd1-3 and sro1-1 mutants behave differently in several developmental events and abiotic stress responses, suggesting that they also have distinct functions. Remarkably, rcd1-3; sro1-1 double mutants display severe defects in embryogenesis and postembryonic development. This study shows that RCD1 and SRO1 are at least partially redundant and that they are essential genes for plant development.

Abstract
Poly(ADP-ribosyl)ation is a post-translational modification of proteins involved in the regulation of chromatin structure, DNA metabolism, cell division and cell death. Through the hydrolysis of poly(ADP-ribose) (PAR), Poly(ADP-ribose) glycohydrolase (PARG) has a crucial role in the control of life-and-death balance following DNA insult. Comprehension of PARG function has been hindered by the existence of many PARG isoforms encoded by a single gene and displaying various subcellular localizations. To gain insight into the function of PARG in response to irradiation, we constitutively and stably knocked down expression of PARG isoforms in HeLa cells. PARG depletion leading to PAR accumulation was not deleterious to undamaged cells and was in fact rather beneficial, because it protected cells from spontaneous single-strand breaks and telomeric abnormalities. By contrast, PARG-deficient cells showed increased radiosensitivity, caused by defects in the repair of single- and double-strand breaks and in mitotic spindle checkpoint, leading to alteration of progression of mitosis. Irradiated PARG-deficient cells displayed centrosome amplification leading to mitotic supernumerary spindle poles, and accumulated aberrant mitotic figures, which induced either polyploidy or cell death by mitotic catastrophe. Our results suggest that PARG could be a novel potential therapeutic target for radiotherapy.

Abstract
Poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase 1 (PARP1) synthesizes poly(ADP-ribose) (PAR) using nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) as a substrate. Despite intensive research on the cellular functions of PARP1, the molecular mechanism of PAR formation has not been comprehensively understood. In this study, we elucidate the molecular mechanisms of poly(ADP-ribosyl)ation and identify PAR acceptor sites. Generation of different chimera proteins revealed that the amino-terminal domains of PARP1, PARP2 and PARP3 cooperate tightly with their corresponding catalytic domains. The DNA-dependent interaction between the amino-terminal DNA-binding domain and the catalytic domain of PARP1 increased Vmax and decreased the Km for NAD. Furthermore, we show that glutamic acid residues in the auto-modification domain of PARP1 are not required for PAR formation. Instead, we identify individual lysine residues as acceptor sites for ADP-ribosylation. Together, our findings provide novel mechanistic insights into PAR synthesis with significant relevance for the different biological functions of PARP family members.

Abstract
Poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase 3 (PARP-3) is a newly characterized PARP. In contrast to the two best-studied nuclear PARPs, PARP-1 and PARP-2, PARP-3 activity is apparently not stimulated by DNA damage. However, our previous work has demonstrated that PARP-3 interacts with several DNA damage response proteins, including Ku70/Ku80, DNA-PK, and PARP-1, suggesting that it contributes to the DNA damage response. Furthermore, a possible function for PARP-3 in the regulation of gene expression has been inferred from our observations that it associates with polycomb group proteins, which are responsible for epigenetic modifications leading to gene silencing. In this report, we extend our characterization of PARP-3 by revealing its distribution in the tissues and cell types of adult cynomolgous monkeys using a well-characterized PARP-3 polyclonal antibody. This study is the first to demonstrate that PARP-3 is genuinely expressed in most of the examined tissues. However, its expression is highly restricted to specific cell types of each tissue, indicating that PARP-3 expression is tightly regulated. One of the key findings of this study is that PARP-3 is highly expressed in the nuclei of epithelial cells forming the ducts of prostate, salivary glands, liver, and pancreas and in the neurons of terminal ganglia.

Abstract
BACKGROUND NEDD1 is a protein that binds to the gamma-tubulin ring complex, a multiprotein complex at the centrosome and at the mitotic spindle that mediates the nucleation of microtubules. RESULTS We show that NEDD1 is expressed at comparable levels in a variety of tumor-derived cell lines and untransformed cells. We demonstrate that silencing of NEDD1 expression by treatment with siRNA has differential effects on cells, depending on their status of p53 expression: p53-positive cells arrest in G1, whereas p53-negative cells arrest in mitosis with predominantly aberrant monopolar spindles. However, both p53-positive and -negative cells arrest in mitosis if treated with low doses of siRNA against NEDD1 combined with low doses of the inhibitor BI2536 against the mitotic kinase Plk1. Simultaneous reduction of NEDD1 levels and inhibition of Plk1 act in a synergistic manner, by potentiating the anti-mitotic activity of each treatment. CONCLUSION We propose that NEDD1 may be a promising target for controlling cell proliferation, in particular if targeted in combination with Plk1 inhibitors.

Abstract
Chromosome instability, which is equated to mitotic defects and consequential chromosome segregation errors, provides a formidable basis for the acquisition of further malignant phenotypes during tumour progression. Centrosomes have a crucial role in the formation of bipolar mitotic spindles, which are essential for accurate chromosome segregation. Mutations of certain oncogenic and tumour-suppressor proteins directly induce chromosome instability by disrupting the normal function and numeral integrity of centrosomes. How these proteins control centrosome duplication and function, and how their mutational activation and/or inactivation results in numeral and functional centrosome abnormalities, is discussed in this Review.

Abstract
Kit ligand (KL) is a survival factor and a mitogenic stimulus for differentiating spermatogonia. However, it is not known whether KL also plays a role in the differentiative events that lead to meiotic entry of these cells. We performed a wide genome analysis of difference in gene expression induced by treatment with KL of spermatogonia from 7-day-old mice, using gene chips spanning the whole mouse genome. The analysis revealed that the pattern of RNA expression induced by KL is compatible with the qualitative changes of the cell cycle that occur during the subsequent cell divisions in type A and B spermatogonia, i.e. the progressive lengthening of the S phase and the shortening of the G2/M transition. Moreover, KL up-regulates in differentiating spermatogonia the expression of early meiotic genes (for instance: Lhx8, Nek1, Rnf141, Xrcc3, Tpo1, Tbca, Xrcc2, Mesp1, Phf7, Rtel1), whereas it down-regulates typical spermatogonial markers (for instance: Pole, Ptgs2, Zfpm2, Egr2, Egr3, Gsk3b, Hnrpa1, Fst, Ptch2). Since KL modifies the expression of several genes known to be up-regulated or down-regulated in spermatogonia during the transition from the mitotic to the meiotic cell cycle, these results are consistent with a role of the KL/kit interaction in the induction of their meiotic differentiation.

Abstract
Poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) is a nuclear enzyme present in most eukaryotes and has been involved in processes such as DNA repair and gene expression. The poly(ADP-ribose) polymer (PAR) is mainly catabolised by poly(ADP-ribose) glycohydrolase. Here, we describe the cloning and characterisation of a PARP from Trypanosoma cruzi (TcPARP). The recombinant enzyme (Mr=65) required DNA for catalytic activity and it was strongly enhanced by nicked DNA. Histones purified from T. cruzi increased TcPARP activity and the covalent attachment of [32P]ADP-ribose moieties to histones was demonstrated. TcPARP required no magnesium or any other metal ion cofactor for its activity. The enzyme was inhibited by 3-aminobenzamide, nicotinamide, theophylline and thymidine but not by menadione. We demonstrated an automodification reaction of TcPARP, and that the removal of attached PAR from this protein resulted in an increase of its activity. The enzyme was expressed in all parasite stages (amastigotes, epimastigotes and trypomastigotes). When T. cruzi epimastigotes were exposed to DNA-damaging agents such as hydrogen peroxide or beta-lapachone, PAR drastically increased in the nucleus, thus confirming PAR synthesis in vivo and suggesting a physiological role for PARP in trypanosomatid DNA repair signalling.

Abstract
It has been suggested that nicotinamide must be degraded during germination; however, the enzyme responsible and its physiological role have not been previously studied. We have identified an Arabidopsis gene, NIC2, that is expressed at relatively high levels in mature seed, and encodes a nicotinamidase enzyme with homology to yeast and bacterial nicotinamidases. Seed of a knockout mutant, nic2-1, had reduced nicotinamidase activity, retarded germination and impaired germination potential. nic2-1 germination was restored by after-ripening or moist chilling, but remained hypersensitive to application of nicotinamide or ABA. Nicotinamide is a known inhibitor of NAD-degrading poly(ADP-ribose) polymerases (PARP enzymes) that are implicated in DNA repair. We found reduced poly(ADP)ribosylation levels in nic2-1 seed, which were restored by moist chilling. Furthermore, nic2-1 seed had elevated levels of NAD, and germination was hypersensitive to methyl methanesulphonate (MMS), suggesting that PARP activity and DNA repair responses were impaired. We suggest that nicotinamide is normally metabolized by NIC2 during moist chilling or after-ripening, which relieves inhibition of PARP activity and allows DNA repair to occur prior to germination.

Abstract
Poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase 3 (PARP-3) is a novel member of the PARP family of enzymes that synthesize poly(ADP-ribose) on themselves and other acceptor proteins. Very little is known about this PARP, which is closely related to PARP-1 and PARP-2. By sequence analysis, we find that PARP-3 may be expressed in two isoforms which we studied in more detail to gain insight into their possible functions. We find that both PARP-3 isoforms, transiently expressed as GFP or FLAG fusions, are nuclear. Detection of endogenous PARP-3 with a specific antibody also shows a widespread nuclear distribution, appearing in numerous small foci and a small number of larger foci. Through co-localization experiments and immunoprecipitations, the larger nuclear foci were identified as Polycomb group bodies (PcG bodies) and we found that PARP-3 is part of Polycomb group protein complexes. Furthermore, using a proteomics approach, we determined that both PARP-3 isoforms are part of complexes comprising DNA-PKcs, PARP-1, DNA ligase III, DNA ligase IV, Ku70, and Ku80. Our findings suggest that PARP-3 is a nuclear protein involved in transcriptional silencing and in the cellular response to DNA damage.

Abstract
Poly(ADP-ribose) Polymerase-1 (PARP-1) is the prototypical and most abundantly expressed member of a family of PARPs that catalyze the polymerization of ADP-ribose (ADPR) units from donor NAD' molecules on target proteins. PARP-1 plays roles in a variety of genomic processes, including the regulation of chromatin structure and transcription in response to specific cellular signals. PARP-1 also plays important roles in many stress-induced disease states. In this chapter, we review the molecular and cellular aspects of PARP-1's chromatin-modulating activities, as well as the impact that these chromatin-modulating activities have on the regulation of gene expression. In addition, we highlight the potential therapeutic use of drugs that target PARP-1's enzymatic activity for the treatment of human diseases

Abstract
Centrosomes are frequently amplified in cancer cells. Increased numbers of centrosomes can give rise to multipolar spindles in mitosis, and thereby lead to the formation of aneuploid daughter cells. However, whether centrosome amplification is a cause or a consequence of cancer is unclear. In contrast, loss of a functional centrosome has been shown to lead to cell cycle arrest. In this review, the potential mechanisms underlying centrosome amplification and centrosome-dependent cell cycle regulation are discussed.

Abstract
Previous evidence has indicated that an intact centrosome is essential for cell cycle progress and that elimination of the centrosome or depletion of individual centrosome proteins prevents the entry into S phase. To investigate the molecular mechanisms of centrosome-dependent cell cycle progress, we performed RNA silencing experiments of two centrosome-associated proteins, pericentriolar material 1 (PCM-1) and pericentrin, in primary human fibroblasts. We found that cells depleted of PCM-1 or pericentrin show lower levels of markers for S phase and cell proliferation, including cyclin A, Ki-67, proliferating cell nuclear antigen, minichromosome maintenance deficient 3, and phosphorylated retinoblastoma protein. Also, the percentage of cells undergoing DNA replication was reduced by >50%. At the same time, levels of p53 and p21 increased in these cells, and cells were predisposed to undergo senescence. Conversely, depletion of centrosome proteins in cells lacking p53 did not cause any cell cycle arrest. Inhibition of p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase rescued cell cycle activity after centrosome protein depletion, indicating that p53 is activated by the p38 stress pathway.

Abstract
Since poly-ADP ribose was discovered over 40 years ago, there has been significant progress in research into the biology of mono- and poly-ADP-ribosylation reactions. During the last decade, it became clear that ADP-ribosylation reactions play important roles in a wide range of physiological and pathophysiological processes, including inter- and intracellular signaling, transcriptional regulation, DNA repair pathways and maintenance of genomic stability, telomere dynamics, cell differentiation and proliferation, and necrosis and apoptosis. ADP-ribosylation reactions are phylogenetically ancient and can be classified into four major groups: mono-ADP-ribosylation, poly-ADP-ribosylation, ADP-ribose cyclization, and formation of O-acetyl-ADP-ribose. In the human genome, more than 30 different genes coding for enzymes associated with distinct ADP-ribosylation activities have been identified. This review highlights the recent advances in the rapidly growing field of nuclear mono-ADP-ribosylation and poly-ADP-ribosylation reactions and the distinct ADP-ribosylating enzyme families involved in these processes, including the proposed family of novel poly-ADP-ribose polymerase-like mono-ADP-ribose transferases and the potential mono-ADP-ribosylation activities of the sirtuin family of NAD(+)-dependent histone deacetylases. A special focus is placed on the known roles of distinct mono- and poly-ADP-ribosylation reactions in physiological processes, such as mitosis, cellular differentiation and proliferation, telomere dynamics, and aging, as well as "programmed necrosis" (i.e., high-mobility-group protein B1 release) and apoptosis (i.e., apoptosis-inducing factor shuttling). The proposed molecular mechanisms involved in these processes, such as signaling, chromatin modification (i.e., "histone code"), and remodeling of chromatin structure (i.e., DNA damage response, transcriptional regulation, and insulator function), are described. A potential cross talk between nuclear ADP-ribosylation processes and other NAD(+)-dependent pathways is discussed.

Abstract
The addition to proteins of the negatively charged polymer of ADP-ribose (PAR), which is synthesized by PAR polymerases (PARPs) from NAD(+), is a unique post-translational modification. It regulates not only cell survival and cell-death programmes, but also an increasing number of other biological functions with which novel members of the PARP family have been associated. These functions include transcriptional regulation, telomere cohesion and mitotic spindle formation during cell division, intracellular trafficking and energy metabolism.

Abstract
Proteins of the poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) family play a wide array of functions, covering virtually every aspect of DNA metabolism and function, most notably with the response to DNA damage, transcription, and the maintenance of genomic stability. Here we report the identification and characterization of a novel PARP family member, PARP10 (FLJ14464 or hypothetical protein LOC84875). Overexpression of PARP10 results in loss of cell viability, although down-expression by short hairpin RNA leads to delayed G1 progression and concomitant cell death. PARP10 exists in both cytoplasm and nucleus, but only nucleolar PARP10 acquires CDK-dependent phosphorylation through late-G1 to S phase, and from prometaphase to cytokinesis in the nucleolar organizing regions. The PARP activity of PARP10 depends on phosphorylation by CDK2-cyclin E in vitro. CDK-phosphorylated PARP10 is absent in growth-arrested cells. These results suggest that PARP10 functions in cell proliferation and may serve as a marker for proliferating cells.

Abstract
Although great effort has been made, the understanding of the mechanisms of hepatocarcinogenesis is still limited. Among all the related hypotheses, the cell brain theory, which emphasized the integrate roles of the complex consisting of centrosome, the embedded centrioles and connecting microtubules (MTs) and interpreted cancer as a cell brain illness rather than a genetic disease, emerges to be more logic and recognizable. According to cell brain theory, all the cellular procedures are coordinated as a whole by the "brain" of a cell determining a cell's fate. Structural and functional abnormalities in the cell brain may result in unequal or multipolar segregation of the chromosomes, thereby causing cell cycle disorder, centrosome amplification, and genomic instability. Although there lacking of direct evidence associating cell brain defects and hepatocarcinogenesis, latest understanding of the roles of the cells brain in cell control does teach us that any defects in the cell brain may contribute to hepatocarcinogenesis. Briefly, more than 100 key proteins involved in DNA synthesis, DNA repair, cell cycle, and apoptosis have been localized to the cell brain. Specifically, more and more novel proteins associated with centrosome such as centrin, centriolin and cenexin are located in the centriole, a core component of cenrtrosome. Aberrant phosphorylation of these proteins and/or mutation of the coding genes may inevitably cause supernumerary centrioles and/or excess pericentriolar material. Modifications of any MT proteins such as tyrosinated tubulin (Tyr-tubulin), detyrosinated tubulin (Glu-tubulin) and Delta2-tubulin may change the structure and function of MTs, thereby interfering with G1 phase progression, altering the dynamics of some key proteins, and mis-regulating signal transduction and transcription. Although little work has been done, we intend to believe, based on the latest understanding of the novel roles of the cell brain in cell control, that defects in any part of the cell brain either in the structure or in the function may result in changes of the genes, eventually leading to the development of liver cancer, which is discussed in this paper and is expected to be helpful in shedding light on the often paradoxical observations seen in the development of cancer, including HCC. It also teaches us that when treating cancerous problems therapeutically or prophylactically, great attention should be given to the centrosome/cell brain, instead of gene alone. More specifically, the centrosome-centered cell brain may come to be novel targets in the treatment of cancer including HCC.

Abstract
Parp-1 and Parp-2 are activated by DNA breaks and have been implicated in the repair of DNA single-strand breaks (SSB). Their involvement in double-strand break (DSB) repair mediated by homologous recombination (HR) or nonhomologous end joining (NHEJ) remains unclear. We addressed this question using chicken DT40 cells, which have the advantage of carrying only a PARP-1 gene but not a PARP-2 gene. We found that PARP-1(-/-) DT40 mutants show reduced levels of HR and are sensitive to various DSB-inducing genotoxic agents. Surprisingly, this phenotype was strictly dependent on the presence of Ku, a DSB-binding factor that mediates NHEJ. PARP-1/KU70 double mutants were proficient in the execution of HR and displayed elevated resistance to DSB-inducing drugs. Moreover, we found deletion of Ligase IV, another NHEJ gene, suppressed the camptothecin of PARP-1(-/-) cells. Our results suggest a new critical function for Parp in minimizing the suppressive effects of Ku and the NHEJ pathway on HR.

Abstract
In mammalian cells, the centrosome consists of a pair of centrioles and amorphous pericentriolar material. The pair of centrioles, which are the core components of the centrosome, duplicate once per cell cycle. Centrosomes play a pivotal role in orchestrating the formation of the bipolar spindle during mitosis. Recent studies have linked centrosomal activity on centrioles or centriole-associated structures to cytokinesis and cell cycle progression through G1 into the S phase. In this study, we have identified centrobin as a centriole-associated protein that asymmetrically localizes to the daughter centriole. The silencing of centrobin expression by small interfering RNA inhibited centriole duplication and resulted in centrosomes with one or no centriole, demonstrating that centrobin is required for centriole duplication. Furthermore, inhibition of centriole duplication by centrobin depletion led to impaired cytokinesis.

Abstract
Changes in chromatin structure emanating from DNA breaks are among the most initiating events in the damage response of the cell. In higher eukaryotes, poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase-1 (PARP-1) translates the occurrence of DNA breaks detected by its zinc-finger domain into a signal, poly ADP-ribose, synthesized and amplified by its DNA-damage dependent catalytic domain. This epigenetic mark on chromatin, induced by DNA discontinuities, is now considered as a part of a survival program aimed at protecting primarily chromatin integrity and stability. In this chapter we describe some of our methods for determining in vivo and in vitro PARP-1 activation in response to DNA strand breaks. Poly(ADP-ribosyl)ation is a posttranslational modification of nuclear proteins induced by DNA strand-breaks that contributes to the survival of injured proliferating cells (D'Amours et al., 1999). Poly(ADP-ribose) polymerases (PARPs) now constitute a large family of 18 proteins, encoded by different genes and displaying a conserved catalytic domain in which PARP-1 (113 kDa), the founding member, and PARP-2 (62 kDa) are so far the sole enzymes whose catalytic activity is immediately stimulated by DNA strand-breaks (Ame et al., 2004). PARP-1 fulfils several key functions in repairing an interruption of the sugar phosphate backbone. It efficiently detects the presence of a break by its N-terminal zinc-finger domain; the occurrence of a break is immediately translated into a posttranslational modification of histones H1 and H2B leading to chromatin structure relaxation and therefore to increased DNA accessibility. As an amplified DNA damage signal, auto-poly(ADP-ribosyl)ation of PARP-1 triggers the recruitment of XRCC1, which coordinates and stimulates the repair process, to the DNA damage sites in less than 15 s in living cells (Okano et al., 2003). Although dispensable in a test tube DNA repair experiment, in vivo these three properties positively influence the overall kinetics of a DNA damage-detection/signaling pathway leading rapidly to the resolution of DNA breaks. Accordingly, poly ADP-ribose (PAR) synthesis and the accompanying NAD consumption are now considered as bona fide marks of DNA interruptions in the genome. In this chapter we describe several methods for determining PARP activation in response to the occurrence of DNA breaks in vitro and in vivo.

Abstract
PARP-1 [poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase-1) is a nuclear enzyme that is involved in several cellular functions, including DNA repair, DNA transcription, carcinogenesis and apoptosis. The activity directed by the PARP-1 gene promoter is mainly dictated through its recognition by the transcription factors Sp1 and Sp3 (where Sp is specificity protein). In the present study, we investigated whether (i) both PARP-1 expression and PARP-1 enzymatic activity are under the influence of cell density in primary cultured cells, and (ii) whether its pattern of expression is co-ordinated with that of Sp1/Sp3 at varying cell densities and upon cell passages. All types of cultured cells expressed PARP-1 in Western blot when grown to sub-confluence. However, a dramatic reduction was observed at post-confluence. Similarly, high levels of Sp1/Sp3 were observed by both Western blot and EMSAs (electrophoretic mobility-shift assays) in sub-confluent,but not post-confluent, cells. Consistent with these results, the promoter of the rPARP-1 (rat PARP-1) gene directed high levels of activity in sub-confluent, but not confluent, cells upon transfection of various CAT (chloramphenicol acetyltransferase)-rPARP-1 promoter constructs into cultured cells. The positive regulatory influence of Sp1 was not solely exerted on the rPARP-1 promoter constructs, as inhibition of endogenous Sp1 expression in HDKs(human dermal keratinocytes) through the transfection of Sp1 RNAi (RNA interference) considerably reduced endogenous hPARP-1 (human PARP-1) expression as well. The reduction in PARP-1 protein expression as cells reached confluence also translated into a corresponding reduction in PARP-1 activity. In addition, expression of both Sp1/Sp3, as well as that of PARP-1,was dramatically reduced as cells were passaged in culture and progressed towards irreversible terminal differentiation. PARP-1 gene expression therefore appears to be co-ordinated with that of Sp1 and Sp3 in primary cultured cells, suggesting that PARP-1 may play some important functions during the proliferative burst that characterizes wound healing.

Abstract
One of the most drastic post-translational modification of proteins in eukaryotic cells is poly(ADP-ribosyl)ation, catalysed by a family enzymes termed poly(ADP-ribose) polymerases (PARPs). In the human genome, 18 different genes have been identified that all encode PARP family members. Poly(ADP-ribose) metabolism plays a role in a wide range of biological structures and processes, including DNA repair and maintenance of genomic stability, transcriptional regulation, centromere function and mitotic spindle formation, centrosomal function, structure and function of vault particles, telomere dynamics, trafficking of endosomal vesicles, apoptosis and necrosis. In this article, the most recent advances in this rapidly growing field are summarized.

Abstract
Poly(ADP-ribose) polymerases (PARPs) catalyze the synthesis of ADP-ribose polymers and attach them to specific target proteins. To date, 6 members of this protein family in humans have been characterized. The best-known PARP, PARP-1, is located within the nucleus and has a major function in DNA repair but also in the execution of cell death pathways. Other PARP enzymes appear to carry out highly specific functions. Most prominently, the tankyrases modify telomere-binding proteins and thereby regulate telomere maintenance. Since only a single enzyme, poly(ADP-ribose) glycohydrolase (PARG), has been identified, which degrades poly(ADP-ribose), it is expected that this protein has important roles in PARP-mediated regulatory processes. This review summarizes recent observations indicating that poly(ADP-ribosylation) represents a major mechanism to regulate genomic stability both when DNA is damaged by exogenous agents and during cell division.

Abstract
We used electron microscopic immunocytochemistry to examine the pattern of centriolar staining for tyrosinated or acetylated alpha-tubulin in endothelial cells during short-term incubation with thrombin. Endothelial cells isolated from human aorta (HAEC) and those isolated from umbilical vein (HUVEC) displayed an increase in the intensity of centriolar staining for acet-tubulin within 1 min after thrombin addition. A decrease in the intensity of centriolar staining for tyr-tubulin was detected in HUVEC within 1 min after thrombin addition, while in HAEC centriolar staining for tyr-tubulin became less intense only 5 min later. Mother and daughter centrioles of HUVEC cells displayed different intensity of immunostaining for acet-tubulin and showed no significant variation in the number of subdistal appendages after thrombin addition. Differently, HAEC cells had the same staining pattern of mother and daughter centrioles in both thrombin-untreated and thrombin-treated cultures. A sharp increase in the number of subdistal appendages of mother centriole occurred in HAEC within 5 min of incubation with thrombin. Our findings provided the direct evidence for centrosome involvement in the ligand-mediated signaling events and showed for the first time that ligand-dependent centrosome reorganization includes the centriole per se. Furthermore, based on our observations we would like to propose that MT-nucleating/anchoring properties of the centrosome are subject to rapid regulation by external signals such as thrombin.

Abstract
Poly(ADP-ribose) (PAR) and the PAR polymerases (PARPs) that catalyze its synthesis from donor nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) molecules have received considerable attention in the recent literature. Poly(ADP-ribosyl)ation (PARylation) plays diverse roles in many molecular and cellular processes, including DNA damage detection and repair, chromatin modification, transcription, cell death pathways, insulator function, and mitotic apparatus function. These processes are critical for many physiological and pathophysiological outcomes, including genome maintenance, carcinogenesis, aging, inflammation, and neuronal function. This review highlights recent work on the biochemistry, molecular biology, physiology, and pathophysiology of PARylation, focusing on the activity of PARP-1, the most abundantly expressed member of a family of PARP proteins. In addition, connections between nuclear NAD+ metabolism and nuclear signaling through PARP-1 are discussed.

Abstract
The well recognized activities of the mammalian centrosome--microtubule nucleation, duplication, and organization of the primary cilium--are under the control of the cell cycle. However, the centrosome is more than just a follower of the cell cycle; it can also be essential for the cell to transit G1 and enter S phase. How the centrosome influences G1 progression is a mystery.

Abstract
Poly(ADP-ribosyl)ation, which is the posttranslational modification of proteins with poly(ADP-ribose), is catalysed by poly(ADP-ribose) polymerases. DNA-strand break induced catalytic activation of two PARP isoforms, namely PARP-1 and -2, are in involved in DNA base-excision repair and other repair pathways. A body of correlative data suggests a link between DNA-damage induced poly(ADP-ribosyl)ation and mammalian longevity. This notion was reinforced by recently published evidence for interactions between PARP-1 and the Werner syndrome protein, deficiency of which causes premature ageing in humans. Recent research on PARPs and poly(ADP-ribose) provides several candidate mechanisms through which poly(ADP-ribosyl)ation might contribute to keeping the ageing process at slow pace.

Abstract
BAL1 (B-aggressive lymphoma 1) was originally identified as a risk-related gene in diffuse large B-cell lymphoma. BAL1 encodes a nuclear protein with N-terminal macro domains and a putative C-terminal poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) active site. Macro domains are sequences homologous to the non-histone region of histone macroH2A. Several lines of evidence suggest that these domains may modulate transcription, including a high concentration of histone macroH2A in the inactive X chromosome, direct interference with transcription factor binding in a positioned nucleosome, and structural similarity to DNA binding domains. Poly(ADP-ribosyl)ation is a critical post-translational modification that regulates chromatin configuration and transcription. In this report we describe two additional BAL family members, BAL2 and BAL3, with N-terminal macro domains and putative C-terminal PARP active sites and assess the function of these specific regions in BAL family members. Herein, we demonstrate that BAL macro domains repress transcription when tethered to a promoter. In addition, we show that BAL2 and BAL3, but not BAL1, exhibit PARP activity. In agreement with these data, BAL1 lacks several critical donor and acceptor residues that are conserved in the BAL2 and -3 PARP active sites. Of interest, BAL family members with inactive or functional PARP domains differed in their ability to repress transcription. BAL family members are the only described proteins with both PARP and macro domains, underscoring the potential functional significance of this unique combination.

Abstract
Here we describe the identification of a novel vertebrate-specific centrosome/spindle pole-associated protein (CSPP) involved in cell-cycle regulation. The protein is predicted to have a tripartite domain structure, where the N- and C-terminal domains are linked through a coiled-coil mid-domain. Experimental analysis of the identified domains revealed that spindle association is dependent on the N-terminal and the coiled-coil mid domain. The expression of CSPP at the mRNA level was detected in all tested cell lines and in testis tissue. Ectopic expression of CSPP in HEK293T cells blocked cell-cycle progression in early G1 phase and in mitosis in a dose-dependent manner. Interestingly, mitosis-arrested cells contained aberrant spindles and showed impairment of chromosome congression. Inhibition of CSPP gene expression by small interfering RNAs induced cell-cycle arrest/delay in S phase. This phenotype was characterized by elevated levels of cyclin A, decreased levels of cyclin E and hyperphosphorylation of the S-phase checkpoint kinase Chk1. The activation of Chk1 may indicate a replication stress response due to an inappropriate G1/S-phase transition. Taken together, we demonstrate that CSPP is associated with centrosomes and microtubules and may play a role in the regulation of G(1)/S-phase progression and spindle assembly.

Abstract
Poly(ADP-ribose) polymerases (PARPs) are a family of enzymes, which show differences in structure, cellular location and functions. However, all these enzymes possess poly(ADP-ribosyl)ation activity. Overactivation of PARP enzymes has been implicated in the pathogenesis of several diseases, including stroke, myocardial infarction, diabetes, shock, neurodegenerative disorder and allergy. The best studied of these enzymes (PARP-1) is involved in the cellular response to DNA damage so that in the event of irreparable DNA damage overactivation of PARP-1 leads to necrotic cell death. Inhibitors of PARP-1 activity in combination with DNA-binding antitumor drugs may constitute a suitable strategy in cancer chemotherapy. In addition, PARP inhibitors may be also useful to restore cellular functions in several pathophysiological states and diseases. This review gives an update of the state-of-the-art concerning PARP enzymes and their exploitation as pharmacological targets in several illnesses.

Abstract
The proto-oncoprotein c-Myc functions as a transcriptional regulator that controls different aspects of cell behavior, including proliferation, differentiation, and apoptosis. In addition, Myc proteins have the potential to transform cells and are deregulated in the majority of human cancers. Several Myc-interacting factors have been described that mediate part of Myc's functions in the control of cell behavior. Here, we describe the isolation of a novel 150 kDa protein, designated PARP-10, that interacts with Myc. PARP-10 possesses domains with homology to RNA recognition motifs and to poly(ADP-ribose) polymerases (PARP). Molecular modeling and biochemical analysis define a PARP domain that is capable of ADP-ribosylating PARP-10 itself and core histones, but neither Myc nor Max. PARP-10 is localized to the nuclear and cytoplasmic compartments that is controlled at least in part by a Leu-rich nuclear export sequence (NES). Functionally, PARP-10 inhibits c-Myc- and E1A-mediated cotransformation of rat embryo fibroblasts, a function that is independent of PARP activity but that depends on a functional NES. Together, our findings define a novel PARP enzyme involved in the control of cell proliferation.

Abstract
DNA single-strand breaks (SSBs) are the most frequent lesions caused by oxidative DNA damage. They disrupt DNA replication, give rise to double-strand breaks and lead to cell death and genomic instability. It has been shown that the XRCC1 protein plays a key role in SSBs repair. We have recently shown in living human cells that XRCC1 accumulates at SSBs in a fully poly(ADP-ribose) (PAR) synthesis-dependent manner and that the accumulation of XRCC1 at SSBs is essential for further repair processes. Here, we show that XRCC1 and its partner protein, DNA ligase IIIα, localize at the centrosomes and their vicinity in metaphase cells and disappear during anaphase. Although the function of these proteins in centrosomes during metaphase is unknown, this centrosomal localization is PAR-dependent, because neither of the proteins is observed in the centrosomes in the presence of PAR polymerase inhibitors. On treatment of metaphase cells with H2O2, XRCC1 and DNA ligase IIIα translocate immediately from the centrosomes to mitotic chromosomes. These results show for the first time that the repair of SSBs is present in the early mitotic chromosomes and that there is a dynamic response of XRCC1 and DNA ligase IIIα to SSBs, in which these proteins are recruited from the centrosomes, where metaphase-dependent activation of PAR polymerase occurs, to mitotic chromosomes, by SSBs-dependent activation of PAR polymerase.

Abstract
A functional interaction between poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase-1 (PARP-1) and lamin B has recently been proposed by nuclear fractionation, crosslinking, and immunoprecipitation experiments. Here we use fluorescence microscopy to verify and extend these findings. We analyze nuclear halo preparations by fluorescence in situ immuno staining (FISIS), which shares attributes with traditional nuclear fractionation techniques, and by confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM). The results agree in that a major part of the enzyme co-localizes with lamin B under physiological conditions, where PARP-1 only has basal activity. After DNA damage and the associated activation of PARP-1, and during the subsequent entry into apoptosis, dramatic changes occur: a gradual release of the enzyme from the lamina, accompanied by its accumulation in nucleoli. Our observations are in line with biochemical evidence for lamin B-PARP-1 interactions under physiological conditions and suggest ways by which these interactions are modified to support PARP-functions in damage and its fate in apoptosis.

Abstract
Animal spermatids and primary oocytes initially have typical centrosomes comprising pairs of centrioles and pericentriolar fibrous centrosomal proteins. These somatic cell-like centrosomes are partially or completely degenerated during gametogenesis. Centrosome reduction during spermiogenesis comprises attenuation of microtubule nucleation function, loss of pericentriolar material, and centriole degeneration. Centrosome reduction during oogenesis is due to complete degeneration of centrioles, which leads to dispersal of the pericentriolar centrosomal proteins, loss of replicating capacity of the spindle poles, and switching to acentrosomal mode of spindle organization. Oocyte centrosome reduction plays an important role in preventing parthenogenetic embryogenesis and balancing centrosome number in the embryonic cells.

Abstract
Poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) plays an important role in ischaemic cell death, and 3-aminobenzamide (3-AB), one of the PARP inhibitors, has a protective effect on ischaemic stroke. We investigated the neuroprotective mechanisms of 3-AB in ischaemic stroke. The occlusion of middle cerebral artery (MCA) was made in 170 Sprague-Dawley rats, and reperfusion was performed 2 h after the occlusion. Another 10 Sprague-Dawley rats were used for sham operation. 3-AB was administered to 85 rats 10 min before the occlusion [3-AB group (n = 85) vs. control group without 3-AB (n = 85)]. Infarct volume and water content were measured, brain magnetic resonance imaging, terminal deoxynucleotidyltransferase (TdT)-mediated dUTP-biotin nick end-labelling (TUNEL) and Cresyl violet staining were performed, and immunoreactivities (IRs) of poly(ADP-ribose) polymer (PAR), cleaved caspase-3, CD11b, intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1), cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2), phospho-Akt (pAkt) and phospho-glycogen synthase kinase-3 (pGSK-3) were compared in the peri-infarcted region of the 3-AB group and its corresponding ischaemic region of the control group at 2, 8, 24 and 72 h after the occlusion. In the 3-AB group, the infarct volume and the water content were decreased (about 45% and 3.6%, respectively, at 24 h), the number of TUNEL-positive cells was decreased (about 36% at 24 h), and the IRs of PAR, cleaved caspase-3, CD11b, ICAM-1 and COX-2 were significantly reduced, while the IRs of pAkt and pGSK-3 were increased. These results suggest that 3-AB treatment could reduce the infarct volume by reducing ischaemic cell death, its related inflammation and increasing survival signals. The inhibition of PARP could be another potential neuroprotective strategy in ischaemic stroke.

Abstract
Endothelin receptor B (ETRB or EDNRB) is overexpressed in most human melanomas and is proposed to provide a marker of melanoma progression. We have shown previously that inhibition of ETRB leads to increased human melanoma cell death in vitro and in vivo, resulting in shrinkage of tumors grown in immunocompromised mice. In the present work, we analyzed the effects of ETRB inhibition on 10 human melanoma cell lines derived from tumors at distinct stages of progression. Our observations suggest that the ETRB antagonist BQ788 induces apoptosis most effectively in metastatic melanoma cells. Microarray analysis shows that BQ788 treatment leads to a reduction in the expression of the survival factor BCL-2A1 and the DNA repair factor poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase 3 that is more pronounced in cells derived from metastatic than primary melanoma. Decreased cell viability was observed to correlate with reduction in ETRB expression, and reduction in ETRB protein levels by small interfering RNA led to an increase in cell death. Interestingly, reduction of ETRB expression by BQ788 was accompanied by a strong induction of VEGF expression and repression of the angiogenic suppressor gravin. These changes in gene expression correlated with increased angiogenesis in tumors injected with ETRB antagonist in vivo. Taken together, our observations suggest that ETRB may provide a potential therapeutic target in high-grade melanomas and identify candidate pathways that may be implicated in the regulation of cell survival and tumor progression associated with ETRB signaling.

Abstract
In the present paper, the involvement of the family of poly(ADP-ribose) polymerases (PARPs), and especially of PARP-1, in mammalian longevity is reviewed. PARPs catalyse poly(ADP-ribosyl)ation, a covalent post-translational protein modification in eukaryotic cells. PARP-1 and PARP-2 are activated by DNA strand breaks, play a role in DNA base-excision repair (BER) and are survival factors for cells exposed to low doses of ionising radiation or alkylating agents. PARP-1 is the main catalyst of poly(ADP-ribosyl)ation in living cells under conditions of DNA breakage, accounting for about 90% of cellular poly(ADP-ribose). DNA-damage-induced poly(ADP-ribosyl)ation also functions as a negative regulator of DNA damage-induced genomic instability. Cellular poly(ADP-ribosyl)ation capacity in permeabilised mononuclear blood cells (MNC) is positively correlated with life span of mammalian species. Furthermore PARP-1 physically interacts with WRN, the protein deficient in Werner syndrome, a human progeroid disorder, and PARP-1 and WRN functionally cooperate in preventing carcinogenesis in vivo. Some of the other members of the PARP family have also been revealed as important regulators of cellular functions relating to ageing/longevity. In particular, tankyrase-1, tankyrase-2, PARP-2 as well as PARP-1 have been found in association with telomeric DNA and are able to poly(ADP-ribosyl)ate the telomere-binding proteins TRF-1 and TRF-2, thus blocking their DNA-binding activity and controlling telomere extension by telomerase.

Abstract
Poly(ADP-ribose) polymerases (PARPs) catalyze the poly(ADP-ribosyl)ation of proteins. This posttranslational modification, as generated by the DNA damage-activated enzymes PARP-1 and -2, has long been known to be involved in DNA repair. Correlative data have suggested an association between DNA damage-induced poly(ADP-ribosyl)ation and mammalian longevity, and this link has recently been strengthened by the discovery of interactions between PARP-1 and the Werner syndrome protein. Emerging additional members of the PARP family display different cellular localizations and are involved in diverse processes such as the regulation of telomere or centrosome function, thereby providing further, independent links between poly(ADP-ribosyl)ation and the aging process.

Abstract
The seemingly static architecture of interphase and mitotic chromatin betrays an otherwise elegantly dynamic entity capable of remodelling itself to facilitate DNA replication, transcription, repair and recombination. Remodelling of local chromatin domains in response to physiological cues proceeds, at least in part, through transient cycles of relaxation and condensation that require use of histone variants and post-translational modifications of histones. Studies have connected poly(ADP-ribosyl)ation of histones with virtually every aspect of DNA metabolism and function over the years, most notably with the response to DNA damage, where convincing evidence supports its essential role granting repair machinery access to damaged DNA. Recent reports extend this notion to transcription and the maintenance of genomic stability, thereby supporting a general role for nuclear poly(ADP-ribosyl)ation in many aspects of genomic activity. The phenomenon might contribute to the 'histone code' by dictating levels of local chromatin compaction.

Abstract
Poly(ADP-ribosyl)ation is an immediate DNA-damage-dependent post-translational modification of histones and other nuclear proteins that contributes to the survival of injured proliferating cells. Poly(ADP-ribose) polymerases (PARPs) now constitute a large family of 18 proteins, encoded by different genes and displaying a conserved catalytic domain in which PARP-1 (113 kDa), the founding member, and PARP-2 (62 kDa) are so far the sole enzymes whose catalytic activity has been shown to be immediately stimulated by DNA strand breaks. A large repertoire of sequences encoding novel PARPs now extends considerably the field of poly(ADP-ribosyl)ation reactions to various aspects of the cell biology including cell proliferation and cell death. Some of these new members interact with each other, share common partners and common subcellular localizations suggesting possible fine tuning in the regulation of this post-translational modification of proteins. This review summarizes our present knowledge of this emerging superfamily, which might ultimately improve pharmacological strategies to enhance both antitumor efficacy and the treatment of a number of inflammatory and neurodegenerative disorders. A provisional nomenclature is proposed.
