Abstract
Poly(ADP-ribosyl)ation is an immediate DNA damage-dependent posttranslational modification of histones and nuclear proteins thatcontributes to the survival of injured proliferating cells. Poly(ADP-ribose) polymerases (PARPs) now constitute a superfamily of 18 proteins,
encoded by different genes and displaying a common conserved catalytic domain. PARP-1 (113 kDa), the founding member, and PARP-2
(62kDa)are both involved in DNA-break sensing andsignaling when singlestrand break repair(SSBR)or base excisionrepair (BER) pathways
are engaged. The generation by homologous recombination of deficient mouse models have confirmed the caretaker function of PARP-1 and
PARP-2 in mammalian cells under genotoxic stress. This review summarizes our present knowledge on their physiological role in the cellular
response to DNA damageand on thegenetic interactionsbetween PARP-1, PARP-2,Atm that play an essentialrole during early embryogenesis.

1. PARP-1 and PARP-2, two DNA damage-dependent
enzymes of a large superfamily
The presence of DNA strand breaks in the cells of
higher eukaryotes activate signal transduction pathways
that trigger cell cycle arrest and repair mechanisms lead-
ing ultimately to cell survival or programmed cell death.
Central to pathways that maintain genomic integrity is the
immediate modification of histones and nuclear proteins by
ADP-ribose polymers catalyzed by poly(ADP-ribose) poly-
merases (PARPs) [1]. A large repertoire of 18 sequences
encoding novel PARPs now extend considerably the field
of poly(ADP-ribosyl)ation reactions to various aspects of
the cell biology including cell proliferation, cell death and
energy metabolism. The members of the PARP superfamilyare characterized by a conserved core responsible for the
catalytic activity to which a number of specific targeting
and regulatory modules have been added. This modular ar-
chitecture of PARPs lead to a plethora of possible functions,
perhaps broader than genome surveillance [2].
PARP-1 and PARP-2, are so far the sole members whose
catalytic activity stimulated in vitro and in vivo by DNA

strand-breaks [3,4] catalyze the transfer of the ADP-ribose
moiety from the respiratory co-enzyme NAD+
to a limitednumber of acceptor proteins involved in chromatin architec-
ture and in DNA metabolism (Fig. 1A).
PARP-1 (113 kDa) is a multifunctional enzyme, highly
conserved from human to A. thaliana, but absent in yeast.
Its domain structure comprises (i) a N-terminal DNA break
recognition module containing a duplicated zinc finger, ho-
mologous to that of DNA ligase III (ii) a central BRCT motif,
present in a large number of proteins involved in the mainte-
nance of genomic integrity and cell cycle checkpoints, acting
as the major proteinprotein interacting interface and (iii)
a carboxy-terminal region bearing all the different catalytic
activities associated with the full-length enzyme: NAD+ hy-
drolysis and initiation, elongation, branching and termina-tion of ADP-ribose polymers (Fig. 1B). The basal activity of
PARP-1 is stimulated 500 times by the presence of breaks in
the DNA. The catalytic domain is by far the most evolution-
arily conserved region. It contains a block of 50 amino acids
(aa 859908), the PARP signature, virtually unchanged
from human to plants [1]. It is conserved to various degree
among the 18 human PARP orthologs [2].
PARP-2 (62 kDa) was discovered as a result of the pres-
ence of residual DNA-dependent PARP activity in embry-
onic fibroblasts derived from PARP-1-deficient mice [3].
PARP-2 is responsible for only 1015% of the total PARP

activity fully stimulated by DNA strand-breaks in a cellular
extract. Its catalytic domain has the strongest resemblance
among all the other family members to that of PARP-1 with
69% similarity. Structural studies of the murine PARP-2
demonstrated that its catalytic domain is very similar to that
of PARP-1 except in the vicinity of the acceptor site that is
most probably specific for protein substrates [5]. PARP-2 is
a nuclear protein that binds to and is activated in vitro by
DNase-I treated DNA. However, its DNA binding domain
differs from that of PARP-1 and targets DNA gaps but not
nicks (Am et al., in preparation). The N-terminal domain
of PARP-2, 75 aa in size, is responsible both for the local-
ization of PARP-2 to the nucleus (Fig. 1B) and the recog-
nition of DNA interruptions. It displays homology with the
SAP domain found in various nuclear proteins like APE-1
and Ku70, involved in chromosomal organization and in
DNA repair. Interestingly, this domain is also found in plant
PARP-2, whose transcription is dramatically upregulated in
response to a sublethal dose of ionizing radiation (IR) [6].
PARP-2 acts as a chromatin modifier too but poly(ADP-
ribosyl)ates histone H2B while PARP-1 targets histone
H1. PARP-2 interacts with PARP-1, they share common
partners involved in the single strand break repair (SSBR)
and base excision repair (BER) pathways: XRCC1, DNA
polymerase-, and DNA ligase III [4] suggesting that they
are both engaged in the same DNA repair complex. PARP-1
and PARP-2 interact also with proteins involved in the
kinetochore structure and in the mitotic spindle checkpoint.
However, specific partners of PARP-2 are begining to be
discovered such as the telomeric protein TRF2 suggesting
a link with the control of telomere integrity [7].
2. Poly(ADP-ribosyl)ation, the first line of defense in
response to DNA breaks: for better or for worse
Several characteristics of PARP-1 behavior upon DNA
damage classify this fascinating enzyme as a component of
the early response to DNA strand breaks. Recent studies
from Okano et al. [8] and El-Khamisy et al. [9] as well as
work from our laboratory [10] reveals that the immediate
synthesis of PAR at a DNA strand break constitutes an initi-
ating event in a damaged cell. This, triggers the subsequent
co-ordination of DNA strand-breaks detection by PARP-1

Fig. 2. Scheme depicting the involvment of PARPs in the repair of
single strand breaks process. (i) Following SSB dection by PARP-1,
poly(ADP-ribose) synthesis at the DNA damage site triggers the immediate
recruitment of XRCC1 and the assembly of the SSBR repair complex
[37]. (ii) Polynucleotide kinase (PNK), stimulated by XRCC1, converts
the DNA ends to 5-phosphate and 3-hydroxyl moieties that (iii) enables
DNA Pol , stimulated by PARP-1, to fill the gap. The size of the repair
patch is controlled by the nuclease FEN1 and PARP-2. (iv) The ligationstep is finally catalyzed by DNA Lig III whose stability is controlled by

and signaling to the SSBR pathway, the whole process being
performed in less than 15 s.
PARP-1 is particularly well suited to fulfill several key
functions following the occurrence of an interruption of
the sugar phosphate backbone: (i) efficient sensing of the
DNA break [11,12]; (ii) translation and amplification of
the damage signal in a posttranslational modification of
PARP-1 itself (automodification) and of histones H1 and
H2B (heteromodification) that triggers chromatin structure
relaxation [13] and increases the access to the break; (iii)
PAR-dependent recruitment of XRCC1 to the damaged site
[8] mediated by its BRCT1 motif that displays high affinity
to PAR and PARP-1 [14,15]. Although not essential in vitro,
XRCC1 as a scaffold protein with no known enzymatic func-
tion plays a critical role in the co-ordinated handling of the
damaged DNA, from one repair enzyme to the next, in the
BER pathway [16] (see Fig. 2). It is nevertheless essential
during mouse development [17]. The absence of PARP-1 or
the inhibition of its enzymatic activity totally prevents the
dynamic recruitment of XRCC1 to the break, thus explain-
ing the important delay in strand-break rejoining that causes
a severe DNA repair defect in PARP-1/ damaged cells
or in damaged cells treated with 3-AB. However, the repair
defect observed in PARP-2/ damaged cells [4] cannot be
attributed to a lack of XRCC1 recruitment, since this step
still occurred following DNA breakage [10]. Rather, PARP-2
activity seems to be associated to a subsequent step in the
SSBR pathway (Fig. 2).PARP-1 activity induced by high levels of DNA breaks
renders PARP-1 a risky cellular factor when the genome is
being degradated during cell death. Therefore, to limit futile
DNA repair during apoptosis and to preserve the NAD+ and
ATP pools, PARP-1 is inactivated by a caspase-dependent
cleavage [18]. A quite different scenario takes place in
acute pathophysiological conditions such as necrosis or
caspase-independent cell death (chromatinolysis) where
PARP-1 is instrumentalized by the Apoptosis-Inducing fac-
tor (AIF) a flavoprotein normally confined to the mitochon-
drial intermembrane space. In response to DNA injury, AIF
in concert with the EndoG nuclease translocates rapidly to
the nucleus and degradates the chromatin into 50 kb frag-
ments [19]. This large scale DNA fragmentation overacti-
vates PARP-1 and kills the cells in a caspase-independent
manner, thus leading to inflammatory injury in the corre-
sponding tissue [20,21]. Dawson and colleagues provided
evidence that PARP-1 initiates a nuclear signal that propa-
gates to mitochondria and triggers the release of AIF that
leads to cell death. Accordingly, PARP-1-deficient cells
or pharmacologically inhibited wild-type cells are fully
protected against excessive damage.
Clearly, the activation of PARP-1 has two opposed mean-
ings depending upon the cell type and the extend of the DNA
damage: (i) Survival: in replicating cells, limited damage toDNA induces PARP activity and stimulates the activation of
DNA repair pathways through the recruitment of DNA repair
factors (i.e. XRCC1). The decision for the cell to engage the
apoptotic pathway after genotoxic stress takes place down-
stream of p53 activation, but the molecular determinants that
switch between DNA repair and cell-cycle arrest or apopto-
sis are not yet fully understood. When apoptosis is induced,
PARP-1 and -2 as survival factors are cleaved by caspases
and are thus inactivated. (ii) Cell death: In post-mitotic cells,
reactive oxygen species (ROS) damage DNA activate PARP
and trigger AIF translocation to the nucleus. The resulting
DNA fragmentation overactivates PARP and leads to nu-clear condensation. Understanding the switch between these
two facets of PARP biology might ultimately improve phar-
macological strategies to enhance both antitumor efficacy
as well as the treatment of a number of inflammatory and
neurodegenerative disorders.
3. PARP-1- and PARP-2-deficient mice are highly
sensitive to DNA damage
To gain further insight into the functional importance of
DNA-dependent poly(ADP-ribosyl)ation reactions at the

animal level, we and others have generated PARP-1/
[2224] and PARP-2/ deficient mice [25]. Both mu-
tant mice are similarly radiosensitive and display severe
genomic instability after -irradiation. Mouse embryonic
fibroblasts (MEFs) lacking either PARP-1 [24,2628] or
PARP-2 [4] display a similar severe defect in alkylation in-
duced DNA strand-break resealing confirming that PARP-1and PARP-2 are involved in the maintenance of genomic in-
tegrity. Interestingly, the sensitization of PARP-2/ MEFs
is accompanied by a G2/M accumulation, the acquisition of
8N DNA content, the presence of anaphase bridges, and the
occurrence of preferential breaks in centromeric and sub-
centromeric regions reflecting kinetochore defects. Thus,
although PARP-2-specific activity is reduced compared
to that of PARP-1, the phenotype of the PARP-2/ and
PARP-1/ mice are equally severe, because they both par-
ticipate not in the catalytic steps of the process, but instead
they dramatically affect the efficiency and/or the accuracy
of the repair.
The double null mutant PARP-1/; PARP-2/ embryos
are not viable and die around E7.5 at the onset of gastrula-
tion, demonstrating that the expression of both PARP-1 and
PARP-2 and/or DNA-dependent poly(ADP-ribosyl)ation
is essential during early embryogenesis. Interestingly,
a specific female embryonic lethality is observed in
PARP-1+/PARP-2/ mutant at mid-gestation (E9.5).
Metaphase analyses of E8.5 embryonic fibroblasts highlight
a specific instability of the X-chromosome in those females
but not in males. [25]. These results support the notion
that, even if a critical level of the DNA repair capacity is
reached in PARP-1+/ PARP-2/ mutant, avoiding an
early lethality, the poor DNA repair efficiency may lead to asevere genomic instability, detrimental first to the females.
4. PARP-1, -2, Atm: genetic interactions in mouse
development
The multifunctional protein kinase Atm is an orchestrat-
ing factor in the cascade of events leading to activation of
the cellular response to DNA double strand breaks, which
includes repair and cell-cycle checkpoint pathways [29] (see
also Kurz and lees-Miller, in press). ATM is missing or in-
activated in patients with the genomic instability syndroma
ataxia-telangiectasia (A-T) (Chun and Gatti, in press). Cell
lines established from Atm-deficient mice, like those from
A-T patients exhibit genomic instability and defective re-
sponse to double strand breaks (DSBs), e.g., defective acti-
vation of the cell cycle checkpoints after ionizing radiation
[30] likely attributed to the defect in sensing, repairing and
signaling DSBs. Beside a clear defect in DSB response, A-T
cells may chronically suffer from increased oxidative stress
[31].
The relationship between ATM and PARP-1 on one hand
and ATM and PARP-2 on the other hand were so far unex-
plored in the mice. Two mouse models deficient for ATM

and PARP-1 (Atm/; PARP-1/) or PARP-2 (Atm/;
PARP-2/) were generated to investigate the impact of
these putative interactions on genomic stability and em-
bryonic development. No homozygous PARP-1, Atm and
PARP-2, Atm-disrupted pups were observed (Fig. 3 and
Table 1) implying that a potent synergistic interaction exists
between Atm and PARP-1 as well as Atm and PARP-2 that
impacts on the embryonic development. The double-null
mutants embryos die early in development, subsequent to
the gastrulation stage. During this restrictive developmental
window, undifferentiated stem cells that form the epiblast
sustain high cell division rate.
In proliferative state, intense metabolism during em-
bryonic growth is accompanied by an oxidative burst that

may cause oxidative damage to genomic DNA. This fea-
ture would be exacerbated in the double mutant embryos
by the perturbation of the cellular balance of reactive
oxygen species which leads to constant oxidative stress
in Atm-deficient cells [31]. Alternatively, the lower rate
of repair that we and others have previously shown in
PARP-1/ [26,27] and in PARP-2/ [4] cells combined
to Atm deficiency may have seriously weakened the cells
defense against endogenous DNA damage, increasing thelikelihood of lethal chromosomal breaks and replication
failure at a stage of development accompanied by rapid cell
division.
5. Concluding remarks
The phenotype displayed by each combinations of double
mutants are more severe than either of the single knockout
(Fig. 4) suggesting that Atm, PARP-1 and PARP-2 partici-
pate in overlapping DNA damage signaling pathways or reg-
ulate distinct forms of DNA repair that partially compensatefor each other. Interestingly, breeding experiments aimed at
generating deficient mice in both Ku80 and PARP-1 [32] and
Ku80 and Atm [33] also lead to early embryonic lethality at
the gastrulation stage. Thus, the loss of certain components
of the SSBR/BER and DSB repair pathways lead to massive
apoptosis of the embryo at the onset of gastrulation perhaps
as a result of unrepaired DNA damage or due to a defect in
DNA-damage signaling.
Interestingly, both PARPs, Atm and DNA PKcs are DNA
damage-dependent chromatin modifiers. In response to
DNA breaks, PARP-1 and PARP-2 poly(ADP-ribosyl)ate
histone H1 and H2B, causing the immediate relaxation
of the 30nm chromatin fiber, a necessary step to in-crease the access to the break [13,34]. Upon -irradiation,

induced-monomerization has been shown recently to be
sensitive to conformational changes of chromatin [35] lead-
ing to histone H2AX phosphorylation of its C-terminal
tail on Ser-139. H2AX phosphorylation is now believed to
participate in chromatin reconfiguration and foci formation
that serve to increase the local concentration of DSB repair
factors and/or limit the diffusion of the broken DNA ends
until the break is repaired [36] (Fig. 5). Given that changes
in chromatin structure emanating from DNA breaks areprobably the most initiating events in the cellular response
to DNA damage, it is tempting to speculate that histone
modifications play an essential role, not only in DNA pack-
aging, but also monitoring the integrity of the mammalian
genome. The disruption of both PARPs and Atm routes
to chromatin may also explain the impossibility for the
resulting embryo to develope normally.
Fig. 5. Schematic representation of the DNA strand-breaks signaling
and processing pathway. The pathway is triggered by IR resulting in
single- and double-strand breaks that immediately initiate two posttrans-
lational modifications of histones and nuclear proteins catalyzed by DNA
damage-dependent PARPs and Atm. Poly(ADP-ribosyl)ation of histones
H1 and H2B increase chromatin accessibility at the actual site of DNA
damage thus promoting DNA repair. Phosphorylation of histone H2AX
by Atm occurs at or near the double-strand break and is required for the
phosphorylation of 53BP1 that participates to nuclear foci organization
and the subsequent recruitment of several Atm downstream targets.
