The DNA-dependent protein kinase (DNA-PK) is a heterotrimeric enzyme that binds to double-stranded DNA and is required for the rejoining of double-stranded DNA breaks in mammalian cells. It has been proposed that DNA-PK functions in this DNA repair pathway by binding to the ends of broken DNA molecules and phosphorylating proteins that bind to the damaged DNA ends. Another enzyme that binds to DNA strand breaks and may also function in the cellular response to DNA damage is the poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP). Here, we show that PARP can be phosphorylated by purified DNA-PK, and the catalytic subunit of DNA-PK is ADP-ribosylated by PARP. The protein kinase activity of DNA-PK can be stimulated by PARP in the presence of NAD+ in a reaction that is blocked by the PARP inhibitor 1, 5-dihydroxyisoquinoline. The stimulation of DNA-PK by PARP-mediated protein ADP-ribosylation occurs independent of the Ku70/80 complex. Taken together, these results show that PARP can modify the activity of DNA-PK in vitro and suggest that these enzymes may function coordinately in vivo in response to DNA damage.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007546 Isoquinolines A group of compounds with the heterocyclic ring structure of benzo(c)pyridine. The ring structure is characteristic of the group of opium alkaloids such as papaverine. (From Stedman, 25th ed)
D009243 NAD A coenzyme composed of ribosylnicotinamide 5'-diphosphate coupled to adenosine 5'-phosphate by pyrophosphate linkage. It is found widely in nature and is involved in numerous enzymatic reactions in which it serves as an electron carrier by being alternately oxidized (NAD+) and reduced (NADH).

D010766 Phosphorylation The introduction of a phosphoryl group into a compound through the formation of an ester bond between the compound and a phosphorus moiety. Phosphorylations
D011065 Poly(ADP-ribose) Polymerases Enzymes that catalyze the transfer of multiple ADP-RIBOSE groups from nicotinamide-adenine dinucleotide (NAD) onto protein targets, thus building up a linear or branched homopolymer of repeating ADP-ribose units i.e., POLY ADENOSINE DIPHOSPHATE RIBOSE.

D004249 DNA Damage Injuries to DNA that introduce deviations from its normal, intact structure and which may, if left unrepaired, result in a MUTATION or a block of DNA REPLICATION. These deviations may be caused by physical or chemical agents and occur by natural or unnatural, introduced circumstances. They include the introduction of illegitimate bases during replication or by deamination or other modification of bases; the loss of a base from the DNA backbone leaving an abasic site; single-strand breaks; double strand breaks; and intrastrand (PYRIMIDINE DIMERS) or interstrand crosslinking. Damage can often be repaired (DNA REPAIR). If the damage is extensive, it can induce APOPTOSIS. DNA Injury,DNA Lesion,DNA Lesions,Genotoxic Stress,Stress, Genotoxic,Injury, DNA,DNA Injuries
D004268 DNA-Binding Proteins Proteins which bind to DNA. The family includes proteins which bind to both double- and single-stranded DNA and also includes specific DNA binding proteins in serum which can be used as markers for malignant diseases.
