Abstract
Poly-ADP-ribose polymerase-14 (PARP14) can modify proteins and nucleic acids by the reversible addition of a single ADP-ribose molecule. Aberrant PARP14 functions have been related to cancer and inflammation, and its domains are involved in processes related to viral infection. Previous research indicates that PARP14 functions might be mediated via a multitude of target proteins. In vitro studies of this large multidomain enzyme have been complicated by difficulties to obtain biochemical quantities of pure protein. Here we present a strategy that allows bacterial expression and purification of a functional multidomain construct of PARP14. We substituted an internal KH domain and its neighboring unstructured region with a SUMO domain to obtain a protein construct that encompasses three macrodomains, a WWE domain, and a PARP catalytic domain. We show that the resulting construct retains both ADP-ribosyltransferase and de-MARylase activities. This construct will be useful in structural and functional studies of PARP14.

Abstract
Breast cancer (BC) is a highly heterogeneous disease, and the presence of germline breast cancer gene mutation (gBRCAm) is associated with a poor prognosis. Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is a BC subtype, characterized by the absence of hormone and growth factor receptor expression, making therapeutic decisions difficult. Defects in the DNA damage response pathway due to mutation in breast cancer genes (BRCA 1/2) lead to homologous recombination deficiency (HRD). However, in HRD conditions, poly (adenosine diphosphate-ribose) polymerase (PARP) proteins repair DNA damage and lead to tumor cell survival. Biological understanding of HRD leads to the development of PARP inhibitors (PARPi), which trap PARP proteins and cause genomic instability and tumor cell lysis. HRD assessment can be an important biomarker in identifying gBRCAm patients with BC who could benefit from PARPi therapy. HRD can be identified by homologous recombination repair (HRR) gene-based assays, genomic-scarring assays and mutational signatures, transcription and protein expression profiles, and functional assays. However, gold standard methodologies that are robust and reliable to assess HRD are not available currently. Hence, there is a pressing need to develop accurate biomarkers identifying HRD tumors to guide targeted therapies such as PARPi in patients with BC. HRD assessment has shown fruitful outcomes in chemotherapy studies and preliminary evidence on PARPi intervention as monotherapy and combination therapy in HRD-stratified patients. Furthermore, ongoing trials are exploring the potential of PARPi in BC and clinically complex TNBC settings, where HRD testing is used as an adjunct to stratify patients based on BRCA mutations.

Abstract
Human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs) have the potential to differentiate into various cell types, including pancreatic insulin-producing β cells, which are crucial for developing therapies for diabetes. However, current methods for directing hPSC differentiation towards pancreatic β-like cells are often inefficient and produce cells that do not fully resemble the native counterparts. Here, we report that highly selective tankyrase inhibitors, such as WIKI4, significantly enhances pancreatic differentiation from hPSCs. Our results show that WIKI4 promotes the formation of pancreatic progenitors that give rise to islet-like cells with improved β-like cell frequencies and glucose responsiveness compared to our standard cultures. These findings not only advance our understanding of pancreatic development, but also provide a promising new tool for generating pancreatic cells for research and potential therapeutic applications.

Abstract
ADP-ribosylation is a prominent and versatile post-translational modification, which regulates a diverse set of cellular processes. Poly-ADP-ribose (PAR) is synthesised by the poly-ADP-ribosyltransferases PARP1, PARP2, tankyrase (TNKS), and tankyrase 2 (TNKS2), all of which are linked to human disease. PARP1/2 inhibitors have entered the clinic to target cancers with deficiencies in DNA damage repair. Conversely, tankyrase inhibitors have continued to face obstacles on their way to clinical use, largely owing to our limited knowledge of their molecular impacts on tankyrase and effector pathways, and linked concerns around their tolerability. Whilst detailed structure-function studies have revealed a comprehensive picture of PARP1/2 regulation, our mechanistic understanding of the tankyrases lags behind, and thereby our appreciation of the molecular consequences of tankyrase inhibition. Despite large differences in their architecture and cellular contexts, recent structure-function work has revealed striking parallels in the regulatory principles that govern these enzymes. This includes low basal activity, activation by intra- or inter-molecular assembly, negative feedback regulation by auto-PARylation, and allosteric communication. Here we compare these poly-ADP-ribosyltransferases and point towards emerging parallels and open questions, whose pursuit will inform future drug development efforts.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE To date, there are limited options for severe Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), caused by SARS-CoV-2 virus. As ADP-ribosylation events are involved in regulating the life cycle of coronaviruses and the inflammatory reactions of the host; we have, here, assessed the repurposing of registered PARP inhibitors for the treatment of COVID-19. EXPERIMENTAL APPROACH The effects of PARP inhibitors on virus uptake were assessed in cell-based experiments using multiple variants of SARS-CoV-2. The binding of rucaparib to spike protein was tested by molecular modelling and microcalorimetry. The anti-inflammatory properties of rucaparib were demonstrated in cell-based models upon challenging with recombinant spike protein or SARS-CoV-2 RNA vaccine. KEY RESULTS We detected high levels of oxidative stress and strong PARylation in all cell types in the lungs of COVID-19 patients, both of which negatively correlated with lymphocytopaenia. Interestingly, rucaparib, unlike other tested PARP inhibitors, reduced the SARS-CoV-2 infection rate through binding to the conserved 493-498 amino acid region located in the spike-ACE2 interface in the spike protein and prevented viruses from binding to ACE2. In addition, the spike protein and viral RNA-induced overexpression of cytokines was down-regulated by the inhibition of PARP1 by rucaparib at pharmacologically relevant concentrations. CONCLUSION AND IMPLICATIONS These results point towards repurposing rucaparib for treating inflammatory responses in COVID-19.

Abstract
Natural products continue to represent a compelling resource for uncovering chemical scaffolds characterised by significant structural variability and diverse biological activities. These compounds possess the potential to be directly utilised or to serve as initial templates for further refinement, ultimately leading to the development of innovative pharmaceutical agents. Among natural products, isoquinoline alkaloids stand out as one of the most extensively researched groups. 1-Oxo-tetrahydroisoquinolinones (1 O-THIQ), isolated from a variety of natural sources, exhibit valuable biological properties. This review investigates the bioactivities of specific 1 O-THIQ alkaloids, which have not been reviewed to the same depth in previous studies.

Abstract
Mutations in the tumor-suppressor genes BRCA1 and BRCA2 resulting in BRCA1/2 deficiency are frequently identified in breast, ovarian, prostate, pancreatic, and other cancers. Poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) inhibitors (PARPis) selectively kill BRCA1/2-deficient cancer cells by inducing synthetic lethality, providing an effective biomarker-guided strategy for targeted cancer therapy. However, a substantial fraction of cancer patients carrying BRCA1/2 mutations do not respond to PARPis, and most patients develop resistance to PARPis over time, highlighting a major obstacle to PARPi therapy in the clinic. Recent studies have revealed that changes of specific functional defects of BRCA1/2-deficient cells, particularly their defects in suppressing and protecting single-stranded DNA gaps, contribute to the gain or loss of PARPi-induced synthetic lethality. These findings not only shed light on the mechanism of action of PARPis, but also lead to revised models that explain how PARPis selectively kill BRCA-deficient cancer cells. Furthermore, new mechanistic principles of PARPi sensitivity and resistance have emerged from these studies, generating potentially useful guidelines for predicting the PARPi response and design therapies for overcoming PARPi resistance. In this Review, we will discuss these recent studies and put them in context with the classic views of PARPi-induced synthetic lethality, aiming to stimulate the development of new therapeutic strategies to overcome PARPi resistance and improve PARPi therapy.

Abstract
The cellular enzyme poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase-1 (PARP-1) regulates multiple processes that are potentially implicated in HIV-1 infection. However, the role of PARP-1 in HIV-1 infection remains controversial, with reports indicating or excluding that PARP-1 influence early steps of the HIV-1 life cycle. Most of these studies have been conducted with Vesicular Stomatitis virus Glycoprotein G (VSV-G)-pseudotyped, single-round infection HIV-1; limiting our understanding of the role of PARP-1 in HIV-1 replication. Therefore, we evaluated the effect of PARP-1 deficiency or inhibition in HIV-1 replication in human CD4+ T cells. Our data showed that PARP-1 knockout increased viral replication in SUP-T1 cells. Similarly, a PARP-1 inhibitor that targets PARP-1 DNA-binding activity enhanced HIV-1 replication. In contrast, inhibitors affecting the catalytic activity of the enzyme were inactive. In correspondence with the pharmacological studies, mutagenesis analysis indicated that the DNA-binding domain was required for the PARP-1 anti-HIV-1 activity, but the poly-ADP-ribosylation activity was dispensable. Our results also demonstrated that PARP-1 acts at the production phase of the viral life cycle since HIV-1 produced in cells lacking PARP-1 was more infectious than control viruses. The effect of PARP-1 on HIV-1 infectivity required Env, as PARP-1 deficiency or inhibition did not modify the infectivity of Env-deleted, VSV-G-pseudotyped HIV-1. Furthermore, virion-associated Env was more abundant in sucrose cushion-purified virions produced in cells lacking the enzyme. However, PARP-1 did not affect Env expression or processing in the producer cells. In summary, our data indicate that PARP-1 antagonism enhances HIV-1 infectivity and increases levels of virion-associated Env. Importance Different cellular processes counteract viral replication. A better understanding of these interfering mechanisms will enhance our ability to control viral infections. We have discovered a novel, antagonist effect of the cellular enzyme poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase-1 (PARP-1) in HIV-1 replication. Our data indicate that PARP-1 deficiency or inhibition augment HIV-1 infectivity in human CD4+ T cells, the main HIV-1 target cell in vivo . Analysis of the mechanism of action suggested that PARP-1 antagonism increases in the virus the amounts of the viral protein mediating viral entry to the target cells. These findings identify for the first time PARP-1 as a host factor that regulates HIV-1 infectivity, and could be relevant to better understand HIV-1 transmission and to facilitate vaccine development.

Abstract
A new efficient and versatile one-pot three-component synthesis of substituted pyrrolo[1,2-a]thieno[3,2-e]pyrimidine derivatives has been developed. It is based on a multistep cascade reaction from 2-aminothiophenes and 2-hydroxy-4-oxobut-2-enoic acids, and derivatives of cyanoacetic acid catalyzed by diisopropylethylamine. As a result, novel pyrrolo[1,2-a]thieno[3,2-e]pyrimidine derivatives (21 compounds) were synthesized in a mild reaction conditions with a high yield. The structures of the developed compounds were confirmed by NMR and elemental analysis. The influence of electron-withdrawing or electron-donor substituents on the antitumor activity of the developed compounds has been identified. In vitro screening analysis of 21 compounds revealed six lead candidates (12aa, 12dc, 12hc, 12ic, 12lb, and 12mb) that demonstrated the most significant antitumor activity against B16-F10, 4T1 and CT26 cells. Necrosis/apoptosis assay showed that apoptosis was the predominant mechanism of cell death. Molecular docking analysis revealed several potential targets for tested compounds, i.e. phosphatidylinositol 5-phosphate 4-kinase (PI5P4K2C), proto-oncogene serine/threonine-protein kinase (Pim-1), nicotinamide phosphoribosyltransferase (NAMPT) and dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR). The lead compound (12aa) can effectively induce cell apoptosis, possesses a high yield (98 %) and requires low-cost starting chemicals for its synthesis. In vivo experiments with melanoma-bearing mice confirmed that 12aa compound resulted in the significant tumor inhibition on 15 d after the therapy. In particular, tumor volume was ∼0.19 cm3 for 50 mg/kg versus ∼2.39 cm3 in case of untreated mice and tumor weight was ∼71.6 mg for 50 mg/kg versus ∼452.4 mg when considered untreated mice. Thus, our results demonstrated the high potential of the 12aa compound in the treatment of melanoma and can be recommended for further preclinical studies.

Abstract
PARP2, that belongs to the family of ADP-ribosyl transferase enzymes (ART), is a discovery of the millennium, as it was identified in 1999. Although PARP2 was described initially as a DNA repair factor, it is now evident that PARP2 partakes in the regulation or execution of multiple biological processes as inflammation, carcinogenesis and cancer progression, metabolism or oxidative stress-related diseases. Hereby, we review the involvement of PARP2 in these processes with the aim of understanding which processes are specific for PARP2, but not for other members of the ART family. A better understanding of the specific functions of PARP2 in all of these biological processes is crucial for the development of new PARP-centred selective therapies.

PARP inhibitors suppress tumours via centrosome error-induced senescence independent of DNA damage response. EBioMedicine 2024; 103:105129. [PMID: 38640836 PMCID: PMC11052917 DOI: 10.1016/j.ebiom.2024.105129] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/10/2023] [Revised: 04/07/2024] [Accepted: 04/07/2024] [Indexed: 04/21/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) inhibitors have emerged as promising chemotherapeutic drugs primarily against BRCA1/2-associated tumours, known as synthetic lethality. However, recent clinical trials reported patients' survival benefits from PARP inhibitor treatments, irrelevant to homologous recombination deficiency. Therefore, revealing the therapeutic mechanism of PARP inhibitors beyond DNA damage repair is urgently needed, which can facilitate precision medicine. METHODS A CRISPR-based knock-in technology was used to establish stable BRCA1 mutant cancer cells. The effects of PARP inhibitors on BRCA1 mutant cancer cells were evaluated by biochemical and cell biological experiments. Finally, we validated its in vivo effects in xenograft and patient-derived xenograft (PDX) tumour mice. FINDINGS In this study, we uncovered that the majority of clinical BRCA1 mutations in breast cancers were in and near the middle of the gene, rather than in essential regions for DNA damage repair. Representative mutations such as R1085I and E1222Q caused transient extra spindle poles during mitosis in cancer cells. PAR, which is synthesized by PARP2 but not PARP1 at mitotic centrosomes, clustered these transient extra poles, independent of DNA damage response. Common PARP inhibitors could effectively suppress PARP2-synthesized PAR and induce cell senescence by abrogating the correction of mitotic extra-pole error. INTERPRETATION Our findings uncover an alternative mechanism by which PARP inhibitors efficiently suppress tumours, thereby pointing to a potential new therapeutic strategy for centrosome error-related tumours.

Abstract
PARP14 is a 203 kDa multi-domain protein that is primarily known as an ADP-ribosyltransferase, and is involved in a variety of cellular functions including DNA damage, microglial activation, inflammation, and cancer progression. In addition, PARP14 is upregulated by interferon (IFN), indicating a role in the antiviral response. Furthermore, PARP14 has evolved under positive selection, again indicating that it is involved in host-pathogen conflict. We found that PARP14 is required for increased IFN-I production in response to coronavirus infection lacking ADP-ribosylhydrolase (ARH) activity and poly(I:C), however, whether it has direct antiviral function remains unclear. Here we demonstrate that the catalytic activity of PARP14 enhances IFN-I and IFN-III responses and restricts ARH-deficient murine hepatitis virus (MHV) and severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) replication. To determine if PARP14's antiviral functions extended beyond CoVs, we tested the ability of herpes simplex virus 1 (HSV-1) and several negative-sense RNA viruses, including vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV), Ebola virus (EBOV), and Nipah virus (NiV), to infect A549 PARP14 knockout (KO) cells. HSV-1 had increased replication in PARP14 KO cells, indicating that PARP14 restricts HSV-1 replication. In contrast, PARP14 was critical for the efficient infection of VSV, EBOV, and NiV, with EBOV infectivity at less than 1% of WT cells. A PARP14 active site inhibitor had no impact on HSV-1 or EBOV infection, indicating that its effect on these viruses was independent of its catalytic activity. These data demonstrate that PARP14 promotes IFN production and has both pro- and anti-viral functions targeting multiple viruses.

Abstract
Cancers reprogram macrophages (MΦs) to a tumor-growth-promoting TAM (tumor-associated MΦ) phenotype that is similar to the anti-inflammatory M2 phenotype. Poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) enzymes regulate various aspects of MΦ biology, but their role in the development of TAM phenotype has not yet been investigated. Here, we show that the multispectral PARP inhibitor (PARPi) PJ34 and the PARP14 specific inhibitor MCD113 suppress the expression of M2 marker genes in IL-4-polarized primary murine MΦs, in THP-1 monocytic human MΦs, and in primary human monocyte-derived MΦs. MΦs isolated from PARP14 knockout mice showed a limited ability to differentiate to M2 cells. In a murine model of TAM polarization (4T1 breast carcinoma cell supernatant transfer to primary MΦs) and in a human TAM model (spheroids formed from JIMT-1 breast carcinoma cells and THP-1-MΦs), both PARPis and the PARP14 KO phenotype caused weaker TAM polarization. Increased JIMT-1 cell apoptosis in co-culture spheroids treated with PARPis suggested reduced functional TAM reprogramming. Protein profiling arrays identified lipocalin-2, macrophage migration inhibitory factor, and plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 as potential (ADP-ribosyl)ation-dependent mediators of TAM differentiation. Our data suggest that PARP14 inhibition might be a viable anticancer strategy with a potential to boost anticancer immune responses by reprogramming TAMs.

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
Certain members of the ADP-ribosyltransferase superfamily (ARTD or PARP enzymes) catalyse ADP-ribosylation in response to cellular stress, DNA damage and viral infection and are upregulated in various tumours. PARP9, its binding partner DTX3L and PARP14 protein levels are significantly correlated in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) and other tumour types though a mechanism where PARP9/DTX3L regulates PARP14 post-transcriptionally. Depleting PARP9, DTX3L or PARP14 expression in HNSCC or HeLa cell lines decreases cell survival through a reduction of proliferation and an increase in apoptosis. A partial rescue of survival was achieved by expressing a PARP14 truncation containing a predicted eukaryotic type I KH domain. KH-like domains were also found in PARP9 and in DTX3L and contributed to protein-protein interactions between PARP9-DTX3L and PARP14-DTX3L. Homodimerization of DTX3L was also coordinated by a KH-like domain and was disrupted by site-specific mutation. Although, cell survival promoted by PARP14 did not require ADP-ribosyltransferase activity, interaction of DTX3L in vitro suppressed PARP14 auto-ADP-ribosylation and promoted trans-ADP-ribosylation of PARP9 and DTX3L. In summary, we characterised PARP9-DTX3L-PARP14 interactions important to pro-survival signalling in HNSCC cells, albeit in PARP14 catalytically independent fashion.

Abstract
Polyadenosine diphosphate-ribose polymerase (PARP) is a key modifying enzyme in cells, which participates in single-strand break repair and indirectly affects double-strand break repair. PARP inhibitors have shown great potential in oncotherapy by exploiting DNA damage repair pathways, and several small molecule PARP inhibitors have been approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for treating various tumor types. PARP inhibitors not only have significant antitumor effects but also have some synergistic effects when combined with radiotherapy; therefore they have potential as radiation sensitizers. Here, we reviewed the advances and implications of PARP inhibitors in tumor radiotherapy sensitization. First, we summarized the multiple functions of PARP and the mechanisms by which its inhibitors exert antitumor effects. Next, we discuss the immunomodulatory effects of PARP and its inhibitors in tumors. Then, we described the theoretical basis of using PARP inhibitors in combination with radiotherapy and outlined their importance in oncological radiotherapy. Finally, we reviewed the current challenges in this field and elaborated on the future applications of PARP inhibitors as radiation sensitizers. A comprehensive understanding of the mechanism, optimal dosing, long-term safety, and identification of responsive biomarkers remain key challenges to integrating PARP inhibition into the radiotherapy management of cancer patients. Therefore, extensive research in these areas would facilitate the development of precision radiotherapy using PARP inhibitors to improve patient outcomes.

Abstract
The retinoblastoma tumor suppressor protein (RB) interacts physically and functionally with a number of epigenetic modifying enzymes to control transcriptional regulation, respond to replication stress, promote DNA damage response and repair, and regulate genome stability. To better understand how disruption of RB function impacts epigenetic regulation of genome stability and determine whether such changes represent exploitable weaknesses of RB-deficient cancer cells, we performed an imaging-based screen to identify epigenetic inhibitors that promote DNA damage and compromise the viability of RB-deficient cells. We found that loss of RB alone leads to high levels of replication-dependent poly-ADP ribosylation (PARylation) and that preventing PARylation by trapping PARP enzymes on chromatin enables RB-deficient cells to progress to mitosis with unresolved replication stress. These defects contribute to high levels of DNA damage and compromised cell viability. We demonstrate this sensitivity is conserved across a panel of drugs that target both PARP1 and PARP2 and can be suppressed by reexpression of the RB protein. Together, these data indicate that drugs that target PARP1 and PARP2 may be clinically relevant for RB-deficient cancers.

Sharma N, Chaudhary A, Sachdeva M. An insight into the structure-activity relationship studies of anticancer medicinal attributes of 7-azaindole derivatives: a review. Future Med Chem 2023; 15:2309-2323. [PMID: 38112047 DOI: 10.4155/fmc-2023-0216] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/24/2023] [Accepted: 11/29/2023] [Indexed: 12/20/2023] Open
Abstract
In the current portfolio, there is a lot of interest in the 7-azaindole building block for drug discovery. The creation of synthetic, sophisticated methods for the modification of 7-azaindoles is a promising area of research. This review covers the structure-activity relationship of 7-azaindole analogs, which have been shown to be effective anticancer agents in the literature of the past two decades. Positions 1, 3 and 5 of the 7-azaindole ring are the most active sites. Disubstitution is used for the synthesis of a new analog of the 7-azaindole moiety. All positions are used to create novel molecules that are effective anticancer agents. The alkyl, aryl carboxamide group and heterocyclic ring are the most successful types of substitution.

Alpha Particle-Emitting Radiopharmaceuticals as Cancer Therapy: Biological Basis, Current Status, and Future Outlook for Therapeutics Discovery. Mol Imaging Biol 2023; 25:991-1019.

Abstract
Critical advances in radionuclide therapy have led to encouraging new options for cancer treatment through the pairing of clinically useful radiation-emitting radionuclides and innovative pharmaceutical discovery. Of the various subatomic particles used in therapeutic radiopharmaceuticals, alpha (α) particles show great promise owing to their relatively large size, delivered energy, finite pathlength, and resulting ionization density. This review discusses the therapeutic benefits of α-emitting radiopharmaceuticals and their pairing with appropriate diagnostics, resulting in innovative "theranostic" platforms. Herein, the current landscape of α particle-emitting radionuclides is described with an emphasis on their use in theranostic development for cancer treatment. Commonly studied radionuclides are introduced and recent efforts towards their production for research and clinical use are described. The growing popularity of these radionuclides is explained through summarizing the biological effects of α radiation on cancer cells, which include DNA damage, activation of discrete cell death programs, and downstream immune responses. Examples of efficient α-theranostic design are described with an emphasis on strategies that lead to cellular internalization and the targeting of proteins involved in therapeutic resistance. Historical barriers to the clinical deployment of α-theranostic radiopharmaceuticals are also discussed. Recent progress towards addressing these challenges is presented along with examples of incorporating α-particle therapy in pharmaceutical platforms that can be easily converted into diagnostic counterparts.

Abstract
Base excision repair (BER) corrects forms of oxidative, deamination, alkylation, and abasic single-base damage that appear to have minimal effects on the helix. Since its discovery in 1974, the field has grown in several facets: mechanisms, biology and physiology, understanding deficiencies and human disease, and using BER genes as potential inhibitory targets to develop therapeutics. Within its segregation of short nucleotide (SN-) and long patch (LP-), there are currently six known global mechanisms, with emerging work in transcription- and replication-associated BER. Knockouts (KOs) of BER genes in mouse models showed that single glycosylase knockout had minimal phenotypic impact, but the effects were clearly seen in double knockouts. However, KOs of downstream enzymes showed critical impact on the health and survival of mice. BER gene deficiency contributes to cancer, inflammation, aging, and neurodegenerative disorders. Medicinal targets are being developed for single or combinatorial therapies, but only PARP and APE1 have yet to reach the clinical stage.

The dynamic process of covalent and non-covalent PARylation in the maintenance of genome integrity: a focus on PARP inhibitors. NAR Cancer 2023; 5:zcad043. [PMID: 37609662 PMCID: PMC10440794 DOI: 10.1093/narcan/zcad043] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/24/2023] [Revised: 07/25/2023] [Accepted: 07/31/2023] [Indexed: 08/24/2023] Open
Abstract
Poly(ADP-ribosylation) (PARylation) by poly(ADP-ribose) polymerases (PARPs) is a highly regulated process that consists of the covalent addition of polymers of ADP-ribose (PAR) through post-translational modifications of substrate proteins or non-covalent interactions with PAR via PAR binding domains and motifs, thereby reprogramming their functions. This modification is particularly known for its central role in the maintenance of genomic stability. However, how genomic integrity is controlled by an intricate interplay of covalent PARylation and non-covalent PAR binding remains largely unknown. Of importance, PARylation has caught recent attention for providing a mechanistic basis of synthetic lethality involving PARP inhibitors (PARPi), most notably in homologous recombination (HR)-deficient breast and ovarian tumors. The molecular mechanisms responsible for the anti-cancer effect of PARPi are thought to implicate both catalytic inhibition and trapping of PARP enzymes on DNA. However, the relative contribution of each on tumor-specific cytotoxicity is still unclear. It is paramount to understand these PAR-dependent mechanisms, given that resistance to PARPi is a challenge in the clinic. Deciphering the complex interplay between covalent PARylation and non-covalent PAR binding and defining how PARP trapping and non-trapping events contribute to PARPi anti-tumour activity is essential for developing improved therapeutic strategies. With this perspective, we review the current understanding of PARylation biology in the context of the DNA damage response (DDR) and the mechanisms underlying PARPi activity and resistance.

Abstract
Biomolecular condensates are reversible compartments that form through a process called phase separation. Post-translational modifications like ADP-ribosylation can nucleate the formation of these condensates by accelerating the self-association of proteins. Poly(ADP-ribose) (PAR) chains are remarkably transient modifications with turnover rates on the order of minutes, yet they can be required for the formation of granules in response to oxidative stress, DNA damage, and other stimuli. Moreover, accumulation of PAR is linked with adverse phase transitions in neurodegenerative diseases, including Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. In this review, we provide a primer on how PAR is synthesized and regulated, the diverse structures and chemistries of ADP-ribosylation modifications, and protein-PAR interactions. We review substantial progress in recent efforts to determine the molecular mechanism of PAR-mediated phase separation, and we further delineate how inhibitors of PAR polymerases may be effective treatments for neurodegenerative pathologies. Finally, we highlight the need for rigorous biochemical interrogation of ADP-ribosylation in vivo and in vitro to clarify the exact pathway from PARylation to condensate formation.

Abstract
Fragment merging is a promising approach to progressing fragments directly to on-scale potency: each designed compound incorporates the structural motifs of overlapping fragments in a way that ensures compounds recapitulate multiple high-quality interactions. Searching commercial catalogues provides one useful way to quickly and cheaply identify such merges and circumvents the challenge of synthetic accessibility, provided they can be readily identified. Here, we demonstrate that the Fragment Network, a graph database that provides a novel way to explore the chemical space surrounding fragment hits, is well-suited to this challenge. We use an iteration of the database containing >120 million catalogue compounds to find fragment merges for four crystallographic screening campaigns and contrast the results with a traditional fingerprint-based similarity search. The two approaches identify complementary sets of merges that recapitulate the observed fragment-protein interactions but lie in different regions of chemical space. We further show our methodology is an effective route to achieving on-scale potency by retrospective analyses for two different targets; in analyses of public COVID Moonshot and Mycobacterium tuberculosis EthR inhibitors, potential inhibitors with micromolar IC50 values were identified. This work demonstrates the use of the Fragment Network to increase the yield of fragment merges beyond that of a classical catalogue search.

Abstract
In recent years, new therapies have been developed based on molecules that target molecular mechanisms involved in both the initiation and maintenance of the oncogenic process. Among these molecules are the poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase 1 (PARP1) inhibitors. PARP1 has emerged as a target with great therapeutic potential for some tumor types, drawing attention to this enzyme and resulting in many small molecule inhibitors of its enzymatic activity. Therefore, many PARP inhibitors are currently in clinical trials for the treatment of homologous recombination (HR)-deficient tumors, BRCA-related cancers, taking advantage of synthetic lethality. In addition, several novel cellular functions unrelated to its role in DNA repair have been described, including post-translational modification of transcription factors, or acting through protein-protein interactions as a co-activator or co-repressor of transcription. Previously, we reported that this enzyme may play a key role as a transcriptional co-activator of an important component of cell cycle regulation, the transcription factor E2F1. Here, we show that PARP inhibitors, which interfere with its activity in cell cycle regulation, perform this without affecting its enzymatic function.

Abstract
PARP2 is a member of the PARP enzyme family. Although, PARP2 plays role in DNA repair, it has regulatory roles in mitochondrial and lipid metabolism, it has pivotal role in bringing about the adverse effects of pharmacological PARP inhibitors. Previously, we showed that the ablation of PARP2 induces oxidative stress and, consequently, mitochondrial fragmentation. In attempt to identify the source of the reactive species we assessed the possible role of a central regulator of cellular antioxidant defense, nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (NRF2). The silencing of PARP2 did not alter either the mRNA or the protein expression of NRF2, but changed its subcellular localization, decreasing the proportion of nuclear, active fraction of NRF2. Pharmacological inhibition of PARP2 partially restored the normal localization pattern of NRF2 and in line with that, we showed that NRF2 is PARylated that is absent in the cells in which PARP2 was silenced. Apparently, the PARylation of NRF2 by PARP2 has pivotal role in regulating the subcellular (nuclear) localization of NRF2. The silencing of PARP2 rearranged the expression of genes encoding proteins with antioxidant function, among these a subset of NRF2-dependent genes.

Abstract
The ADP-ribosyltransferase, PARP1 enzymatically generates and applies the post-translational modification, ADP-Ribose (ADPR). PARP1 roles in genome maintenance are well described, but recent work highlights roles in many fundamental processes including cellular identity and energy homeostasis. Herein, we show in both mouse and human skeletal muscle cells that PARP1-mediated PARylation is a regulator of the myogenic program and the muscle transcriptional response to steroid hormones. Chemical PARP1 modulation impacts the expression of major myocellular proteins, including troponins, key in dictating muscle contractile force. Whilst PARP1 in absence of DNA damage is often assumed to be basally inactive, we show PARylation to be acutely sensitive to extracellular glucose concentrations and the steroid hormone class, glucocorticoids which exert considerable authority over muscle tissue mass. Specifically, we find during myogenesis, a transient and significant rise in PAR. This early-stage differentiation event, if blocked with PARP1 inhibition, reduced the abundance of important muscle proteins in the fully differentiated myotubes. This suggests that PAR targets during early-stage differentiation are central to the proper development of the muscle contractile unit. We also show that reduced PARP1 in myoblasts impacts a variety of metabolic pathways in line with the recorded actions of glucocorticoids. Currently, as both regulators of myogenesis and muscle mass loss, glucocorticoids represent a clinical conundrum. Our work goes on to identify that PARP1 influences transcriptional activation by glucocorticoids of a subset of genes critical to human skeletal muscle pathology. These genes may therefore signify a regulatory battery of targets through which selective glucocorticoid modulation could be achieved. Collectively, our data provide clear links between PARP1-mediated PARylation and skeletal muscle homeostatic mechanisms crucial to tissue mass maintenance and endocrine response.

Abstract
Olaparib showed good efficacy and tolerability in the maintenance treatment of patients with initial therapy or high-grade serous recurrent ovarian cancer patients. This study aimed to analyze adverse events (AEs) of patients taking Olaparib and the quality of life (QoL) with Olaparib in 1 center of China. The study included 98 patients who received Olaparib and 210 patients without Olaparib from July 2018 to October 2021 for high-grade serous ovarian cancer in the Gynecology Oncology Department of Jiangsu Provincial Hospital. Information of clinicopathologic characteristics was collected from medical records. Then, we used the QLQ-C30 and Quality of Life Ovarian Cancer 28 Questionnaire (QLQ-OV28) to determine the QoL of 98 patients with and 210 patients without Olaparib. Among all 98 patients with Olaparib, 66 patients in first-line and 32 patients in more than second-line treatment. Regarding the best objective response with Olaparib maintenance in 78 patients with partial remission from most recent chemotherapy, 3 (3.84%) patients showed complete response (CR) and 6 (7.69%) showed as partial response (PR), whereas stable disease was observed in 42 patients (53.84%) and 27 patients (34.6%) showed as progression disease. AEs of Grade 3 and more were: anemia in 16 patients (16.32%), neutropenia in 20 patients (20.40%), thrombocytopenia in 4 patients (4.08%), and headache in 4 patients (4.08%). Dose reduction and drug discontinuation accounted for 73.40% and 20.40%, respectively. Olaparib as maintenance therapy increased QoL on all functioning domains and several symptom domains. Consistent with previous clinical trials, Olaparib maintenance therapy was proved safe and effective. Most patients may experience Grade 1 and 2 AEs. Olaparib maintenance therapy can increase QoL in several domains.

Abstract
The retinoblastoma tumor suppressor protein (RB) interacts physically and functionally with a number of epigenetic modifying enzymes to control transcriptional regulation, respond to replication stress, promote DNA damage response and repair pathways, and regulate genome stability. To better understand how disruption of RB function impacts epigenetic regulation of genome stability and determine whether such changes may represent exploitable weaknesses of RB-deficient cancer cells, we performed an imaging-based screen to identify epigenetic inhibitors that promote DNA damage and compromise viability of RB-deficient cells. We found that loss of RB alone leads to high levels of replication-dependent poly-ADP ribosylation (PARylation) and that preventing PARylation through inhibition of PARP enzymes enables RB-deficient cells to progress to mitosis with unresolved replication stress and under-replicated DNA. These defects contribute to high levels of DNA damage, decreased proliferation, and compromised cell viability. We demonstrate this sensitivity is conserved across a panel of inhibitors that target both PARP1 and PARP2 and can be suppressed by re-expression of the RB protein. Together, these data indicate that inhibitors of PARP1 and PARP2 may be clinically relevant for RB-deficient cancers.

Combining pharmacophore models derived from DNA-encoded chemical libraries with structure-based exploration to predict Tankyrase 1 inhibitors. Eur J Med Chem 2023; 246:114980. [PMID: 36495630 PMCID: PMC9805525 DOI: 10.1016/j.ejmech.2022.114980] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/18/2022] [Revised: 11/25/2022] [Accepted: 11/25/2022] [Indexed: 12/03/2022]
Abstract
DNA-encoded chemical libraries (DECLs) interrogate the interactions of a target of interest with vast numbers of molecules. DECLs hence provide abundant information about the chemical ligand space for therapeutic targets, and there is considerable interest in methods for exploiting DECL screening data to predict novel ligands. Here we introduce one such approach and demonstrate its feasibility using the cancer-related poly-(ADP-ribose)transferase tankyrase 1 (TNKS1) as a model target. First, DECL affinity selections resulted in structurally diverse TNKS1 inhibitors with high potency including compound 2 with an IC50 value of 0.8 nM. Additionally, TNKS1 hits from four DECLs were translated into pharmacophore models, which were exploited in combination with docking-based screening to identify TNKS1 ligand candidates in databases of commercially available compounds. This computational strategy afforded TNKS1 inhibitors that are outside the chemical space covered by the DECLs and yielded the drug-like lead compound 12 with an IC50 value of 22 nM. The study further provided insights in the reliability of screening data and the effect of library design on hit compounds. In particular, the study revealed that while in general DECL screening data are in good agreement with off-DNA ligand binding, unpredictable interactions of the DNA-attachment linker with the target protein contribute to the noise in the affinity selection data.

Abstract
We report [1,2,4]triazolo[3,4-b]benzothiazole (TBT) as a new inhibitor scaffold, which competes with nicotinamide in the binding pocket of human poly- and mono-ADP-ribosylating enzymes. The binding mode was studied through analogues and cocrystal structures with TNKS2, PARP2, PARP14, and PARP15. Based on the substitution pattern, we were able to identify 3-amino derivatives 21 (OUL243) and 27 (OUL232) as inhibitors of mono-ARTs PARP7, PARP10, PARP11, PARP12, PARP14, and PARP15 at nM potencies, with 27 being the most potent PARP10 inhibitor described to date (IC50 of 7.8 nM) and the first PARP12 inhibitor ever reported. On the contrary, hydroxy derivative 16 (OUL245) inhibits poly-ARTs with a selectivity toward PARP2. The scaffold does not possess inherent cell toxicity, and the inhibitors can enter cells and engage with the target protein. This, together with favorable ADME properties, demonstrates the potential of TBT scaffold for future drug development efforts toward selective inhibitors against specific enzymes.

Abstract
PARP enzymes are involved in metabolic regulation and impact on a plethora of cellular metabolic pathways, among them, mitochondrial oxidative metabolism. The detrimental effects of PARP1 overactivation upon oxidative stress on mitochondrial oxidative metabolism was discovered in 1998. Since then, there was an enormous blooming in the understanding of the interplay between PARPs and mitochondria. Mitochondrial activity can be assessed by a comprehensive set of methods that we aim to introduce here.

Abstract
The purification of poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase-3 (PARP-3) from overexpressing cells (Sf9 insect cells, Escherichia coli) has been updated to a fast and reproducible two-chromatographic-step protocol. After cell lysis, PARP-3 protein from the crude extract is affinity purified on a 3-aminobenzamide Sepharose™ chromatographic step. The last contaminants and the 3-methoxybenzamide used to elute PARP-3 from the previous affinity column are removed on the high-performance strong cation exchanger MonoQ™ matrix. This step allows also the concentration of the protein. The columns connected to an A° KTA™ purifier system allow the purification of the protein in three days with a high-yield recovery. As described in the protocol, more than 3 mg of pure and active human PARP-3 can be obtained from 1.5 L of E. coli culture.

Abstract
The poly-ADP-ribosyltransferase tankyrase (TNKS, TNKS2) controls a wide range of disease-relevant cellular processes, including WNT-β-catenin signalling, telomere length maintenance, Hippo signalling, DNA damage repair and glucose homeostasis1,2. This has incentivized the development of tankyrase inhibitors. Notwithstanding, our knowledge of the mechanisms that control tankyrase activity has remained limited. Both catalytic and non-catalytic functions of tankyrase depend on its filamentous polymerization3-5. Here we report the cryo-electron microscopy reconstruction of a filament formed by a minimal active unit of tankyrase, comprising the polymerizing sterile alpha motif (SAM) domain and its adjacent catalytic domain. The SAM domain forms a novel antiparallel double helix, positioning the protruding catalytic domains for recurring head-to-head and tail-to-tail interactions. The head interactions are highly conserved among tankyrases and induce an allosteric switch in the active site within the catalytic domain to promote catalysis. Although the tail interactions have a limited effect on catalysis, they are essential to tankyrase function in WNT-β-catenin signalling. This work reveals a novel SAM domain polymerization mode, illustrates how supramolecular assembly controls catalytic and non-catalytic functions, provides important structural insights into the regulation of a non-DNA-dependent poly-ADP-ribosyltransferase and will guide future efforts to modulate tankyrase and decipher its contribution to disease mechanisms.

Abstract
ADP-ribosylation, a modification of proteins, nucleic acids, and metabolites, confers broad functions, including roles in stress responses elicited, for example, by DNA damage and viral infection and is involved in intra- and extracellular signaling, chromatin and transcriptional regulation, protein biosynthesis, and cell death. ADP-ribosylation is catalyzed by ADP-ribosyltransferases (ARTs), which transfer ADP-ribose from NAD+ onto substrates. The modification, which occurs as mono- or poly-ADP-ribosylation, is reversible due to the action of different ADP-ribosylhydrolases. Importantly, inhibitors of ARTs are approved or are being developed for clinical use. Moreover, ADP-ribosylhydrolases are being assessed as therapeutic targets, foremost as antiviral drugs and for oncological indications. Due to the development of novel reagents and major technological advances that allow the study of ADP-ribosylation in unprecedented detail, an increasing number of cellular processes and pathways are being identified that are regulated by ADP-ribosylation. In addition, characterization of biochemical and structural aspects of the ARTs and their catalytic activities have expanded our understanding of this protein family. This increased knowledge requires that a common nomenclature be used to describe the relevant enzymes. Therefore, in this viewpoint, we propose an updated and broadly supported nomenclature for mammalian ARTs that will facilitate future discussions when addressing the biochemistry and biology of ADP-ribosylation. This is combined with a brief description of the main functions of mammalian ARTs to illustrate the increasing diversity of mono- and poly-ADP-ribose mediated cellular processes.

Abstract
PARPs play fundamental roles in multiple DNA damage recognition and repair pathways. Persistent nuclear PARP activation causes cellular NAD+ depletion and exacerbates cellular aging. However, very little is known about mitochondrial PARP (mtPARP) and poly ADP-ribosylation (PARylation). The existence of mtPARP is controversial, and the biological roles of mtPARP-induced mitochondrial PARylation are unclear. Here, we demonstrate the presence of PARP1 and PARylation in purified mitochondria. The addition of the PARP1 substrate NAD+ to isolated mitochondria induced PARylation, which was suppressed by treatment with the inhibitor olaparib. Mitochondrial PARylation was also evaluated by enzymatic labeling of terminal ADP-ribose (ELTA). To further confirm the presence of mtPARP1, we evaluated mitochondrial nucleoid PARylation by ADP ribose-chromatin affinity purification (ADPr-ChAP) and PARP1 chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP). We observed that NAD+ stimulated PARylation and TFAM occupancy on the mtDNA regulatory region D-loop, inducing mtDNA transcription. These findings suggest that PARP1 is integrally involved in mitochondrial PARylation and that NAD+-dependent mtPARP1 activity contributes to mtDNA transcriptional regulation.

Abstract
Rucaparib is an oral small-molecule poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase inhibitor indicated for patients with recurrent ovarian cancer in the maintenance and treatment settings and for patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer associated with a deleterious BRCA1 or BRCA2 mutation. Rucaparib has a manageable safety profile; the most common adverse events reported were fatigue and nausea in both indications. Accumulation in plasma exposure occurred after repeated administration of the approved 600-mg twice-daily dosage. Steady state was achieved after continuous twice-daily dosing for a week. Rucaparib has moderate oral bioavailability and can be dosed with or without food. Although a high-fat meal weakly increased maximum concentration and area under the curve, the effect was not clinically significant. A mass balance analysis indicated almost a complete dose recovery of rucaparib over 12 days, with metabolism, renal, and hepatic excretion as the elimination routes. A population pharmacokinetic analysis of rucaparib revealed no effect of age, sex, race, or body weight. No starting dose adjustments were necessary for patients with mild-to-moderate hepatic or renal impairment; the effect of severe organ impairment on rucaparib exposure has not been evaluated. In patients, rucaparib moderately inhibited cytochrome P450 (CYP) 1A2 and weakly inhibited CYP3As, CYP2C9, and CYP2C19. Rucaparib weakly increased systemic exposures of oral contraceptives and oral rosuvastatin and marginally increased the exposure of oral digoxin (a P-glycoprotein substrate). In vitro studies suggested that rucaparib inhibits transporters MATE1, MATE2-K, OCT1, and OCT2. No clinically meaningful drug interactions with rucaparib as a perpetrator were observed. An exposure-response analysis revealed dose-dependent changes in selected clinical efficacy and safety endpoints. Overall, this article provides a comprehensive review of the clinical pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, drug-drug interactions, effects of intrinsic and extrinsic factors, and exposure-response relationships of rucaparib.

Abstract
Hyperactive poly(ADP-ribose) polymerases (PARP) promote ischemic heart failure (IHF) after myocardial infarction (MI). However, the role of tankyrases (TNKSs), members of the PARP family, in pathogenesis of IHF remains unknown. We investigated the expression and activation of TNKSs in myocardium of IHF patients and MI rats. We explored the cardioprotective effect of TNKS inhibition in an isoproterenol-induced zebrafish HF model. In IHF patients, we observed elevated TNKS2 and DICER and concomitant upregulation of miR-34a-5p and miR-21-5p in non-infarcted myocardium. In a rat MI model, we found augmented TNKS2 and DICER in the border and infarct areas at the early stage of post-MI. We also observed consistently increased TNKS1 in the border and infarct areas and destabilized AXIN in the infarct area from 4 weeks onward, which in turn triggered Wnt/β-catenin signaling. In an isoproterenol-induced HF zebrafish model, inhibition of TNKS activity with XAV939, a TNKSs-specific inhibitor, protected against ventricular dilatation and cardiac dysfunction and abrogated overactivation of Wnt/β-catenin signaling and dysregulation of miR-34a-5p induced by isoproterenol. Our study unravels a potential role of TNKSs in the pathogenesis of IHF by regulating Wnt/β-catenin signaling and possibly modulating miRNAs and highlights the pharmacotherapeutic potential of TNKS inhibition for prevention of IHF.

Abstract
BACKGROUND: Preclinical studies and results of a phase 2 trial of abiraterone and olaparib suggest a combined antitumor effect when the poly(adenosine diphosphate[ADP]-ribose) polymerase inhibitor olaparib is combined with next-generation hormonal agent abiraterone to treat metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC). METHODS: We conducted a double-blind, phase 3 trial of abiraterone and olaparib versus abiraterone and placebo in patients with mCRPC in the first-line setting. Patients were enrolled regardless of homologous recombination repair gene mutation (HRRm) status. HRRm status was determined following enrollment by tumor tissue and circulating tumor DNA tests. Patients were randomly assigned (1:1) to receive abiraterone (1000 mg once daily) plus prednisone or prednisolone with either olaparib (300 mg twice daily) or placebo. The primary end point was imaging-based progression-free survival (ibPFS) by investigator assessment. Overall survival was among the secondary end points. RESULTS: At this planned primary analysis at the first data cutoff, median ibPFS was significantly longer in the abiraterone and olaparib arm than in the abiraterone and placebo arm (24.8 vs. 16.6 months; hazard ratio, 0.66; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.54 to 0.81; P<0.001) and was consistent with blinded independent central review (hazard ratio, 0.61; 95% CI, 0.49 to 0.74). At this data cutoff, overall survival data were immature (28.6% maturity; hazard ratio, 0.86; 95% CI, 0.66 to 1.12; P=0.29). The safety profile of olaparib and abiraterone was consistent with the known safety profiles of the individual drugs. The most common adverse events in the abiraterone and olaparib arm were anemia, fatigue/asthenia, and nausea. CONCLUSIONS: At primary analysis at this first data cutoff, abiraterone combined with olaparib significantly prolonged ibPFS compared with abiraterone and placebo as first-line treatment for patients with mCRPC enrolled irrespective of HRRm status.

Abstract
The last decade has seen a strong proliferation of therapeutic strategies for the treatment of metabolic and age-related diseases based on increasing cellular NAD+ bioavailability. Among them, the dietary supplementation with NAD+ precursors—classically known as vitamin B3—has received most of the attention. Multiple molecules can act as NAD+ precursors through independent biosynthetic routes. Interestingly, eukaryote organisms have conserved a remarkable ability to utilize all of these different molecules, even if some of them are scarcely found in nature. Here, we discuss the possibility that the conservation of all of these biosynthetic pathways through evolution occurred because the different NAD+ precursors might serve specialized purposes.

Abstract
PARP15, or ARTD7, is an enzyme carrying out mono-ADP-ribosylation and regulating activities of a range of cellular proteins. This enzyme belongs to the family of the poly(ADP-ribose) polymerases (PARPs), which comprises of proteins with various potential disease indications. Due to their involvement in a number of cellular processes and important role in DNA repair and regulation, PARPs have been considered attractive therapeutic targets over the past few years. The pursuit of small molecule PARP inhibitors has resulted in several FDA approved drugs for multiple cancers so far. As the use of PARP inhibitors as drug scaffolds is actively explored recently, there is increasing interest in the design of selective inhibitors based on the structural features of the PARP proteins. Here, we solved high-resolution crystal structures of the human PARP15 catalytic domain in complex with three marketed drugs of PARP inhibitors, which includes compounds 3-AB, iniparib and niraparib. The structures reported here contribute to our understanding of the ligand binding modes and structural features in the PARP15 catalytic domain, which can be employed to guide the rational design of selective inhibitors of PARPs.

Abstract
Major advances have recently defined functions for human mono-ADP-ribosylating PARP enzymes (mono-ARTs), also opening up potential applications for targeting them to treat diseases. Structural biology combined with medicinal chemistry has allowed the design of potent small molecule inhibitors which typically bind to the catalytic domain. Most of these inhibitors are at the early stages, but some have already a suitable profile to be used as chemical tools. One compound targeting PARP7 has even progressed to clinical trials. In this review, we collect inhibitors of mono-ARTs with a typical "H-Y-Φ" motif (Φ = hydrophobic residue) and focus on compounds that have been reported as active against one or a restricted number of enzymes. We discuss them from a medicinal chemistry point of view and include an analysis of the available crystal structures, allowing us to craft a pharmacophore model that lays the foundation for obtaining new potent and more specific inhibitors.

Abstract
The innate immune system, the primary defense mechanism of higher organisms against pathogens including viruses, senses pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs). In response to PAMPs, interferons (IFNs) are produced, allowing the host to react swiftly to viral infection. In turn the expression of IFN-stimulated genes (ISGs) is induced. Their products disseminate the antiviral response. Among the ISGs conserved in many species are those encoding mono-ADP-ribosyltransferases (mono-ARTs). This prompts the question whether, and if so how, mono-ADP-ribosylation affects viral propagation. Emerging evidence demonstrates that some mono-ADP-ribosyltransferases function as PAMP receptors and modify both host and viral proteins relevant for viral replication. Support for mono-ADP-ribosylation in virus–host interaction stems from the findings that some viruses encode mono-ADP-ribosylhydrolases, which antagonize cellular mono-ARTs. We summarize and discuss the evidence linking mono-ADP-ribosylation and the enzymes relevant to catalyze this reversible modification with the innate immune response as part of the arms race between host and viruses.

Abstract
High-grade serous ovarian cancer is the deadliest gynecologic malignancy due to progression to resistant disease. Claudin-4 is classically defined as a tight junction protein and is often associated with epithelial cancers. Claudin-4 is aberrantly expressed in nearly 70% of all ovarian cancer tumors and conveys a worse overall prognosis. Elevated claudin-4 expression correlates to increased DNA repair activity and resistance to DNA damaging agents. PARP inhibitors are emerging as an effective therapeutic option for patients with ovarian cancer and function by promoting DNA damage. The study examines the relationship between claudin-4 expression and the response to PARP inhibitors using both genetic and pharmacologic inhibition of claudin-4 in in vitro and ex vivo models of ovarian cancer to examine DNA repair markers and functional activity. Genetic inhibition of claudin-4 results in the downregulation of several DNA damage repair effectors, including 53BP1 and XRCC1. Claudin-4 knockdown did not change homology-directed repair but inhibited nonhomologous end-joining and reduced 53BP1 foci formation. In 15 primary ovarian cancer tumors, higher claudin-4 expression significantly correlated to a dampened PARP inhibitor-mediated antiproliferation response. Further, claudin-4 inhibition in high claudin-4 tumors sensitized tumor sections to PARP inhibition. These data highlight that claudin-4 expression in ovarian cancer tumors could serve as both a marker of PARP inhibitor response and a therapeutic target to improve PARP inhibitor response.

Abstract
Bordetella pertussis is the causative agent of whooping cough, a highly contagious respiratory disease. Pertussis toxin (PT), a major virulence factor secreted by B. pertussis, is an AB5-type protein complex topologically related to cholera toxin. The PT protein complex is internalized by host cells and follows a retrograde trafficking route to the endoplasmic reticulum, where it subsequently dissociates. The released enzymatic S1 subunit is then translocated from the endoplasmic reticulum into the cytosol and subsequently ADP-ribosylates the inhibitory alpha-subunits (Gαi) of heterotrimeric G proteins, thus promoting dysregulation of G protein–coupled receptor signaling. However, the mechanistic details of the ADP-ribosylation activity of PT are not well understood. Here, we describe crystal structures of the S1 subunit in complex with nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+), with NAD+ hydrolysis products ADP-ribose and nicotinamide, with NAD+ analog PJ34, and with a novel NAD+ analog formed upon S1 subunit crystallization with 3-amino benzamide and NAD+, which we name benzamide amino adenine dinucleotide. These crystal structures provide unprecedented insights into pre- and post-NAD+ hydrolysis steps of the ADP-ribosyltransferase activity of PT. We propose that these data may aid in rational drug design approaches and further development of PT-specific small-molecule inhibitors.

Abstract
Tankyrases are multifunctional poly(adenosine diphosphate-ribose) polymerases that regulate diverse biological processes including telomere maintenance and cellular signaling. These processes are often implicated in a number of human diseases, with cancer being the most prevalent example. Accordingly, tankyrase inhibitors have gained increasing attention as potential therapeutics. Since the discovery of XAV939 and IWR-1 as the first tankyrase inhibitors over two decades ago, tankyrase-targeted drug discovery has made significant progress. This review starts with an introduction of tankyrases, with emphasis placed on their cancer-related functions. Small-molecule inhibitors of tankyrases are subsequently delineated based on their distinct modes of binding to the enzymes. In addition to inhibitors that compete with oxidized nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) for binding to the catalytic domain of tankyrases, non-NAD+-competitive inhibitors are detailed. This is followed by a description of three clinically trialled tankyrase inhibitors. To conclude, some of challenges and prospects in developing tankyrase-targeted cancer therapies are discussed.

Abstract
SignificancePARP is an important target in the treatment of cancers, particularly in patients with breast, ovarian, or prostate cancer that have compromised homologous recombination repair (i.e., BRCA-/-). This review about inhibitors of PARP (PARPi) is for readers interested in the development of next-generation drugs for the treatment of cancer, providing insights into structure-activity relationships, in vitro vs. in vivo potency, PARP trapping, and synthetic lethality.
