    Mode of action of poly(ADP-ribose) glycohydrolase
    (Elsevier, 1994-10-18) Duchaine, Caroline; Thibeault, Laurent; Poirier, Guy; Shah, Girish M.; Lagueux, Jean; Brochu, Gino
    The turnover of the homopolymer of ADP-ribose, which is known to be involved in many DNA-related functions, is controlled by 2 principal enzymes. Poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (EC 2.4.2.30) synthesizes the polymer from NAD, and poly(ADP-ribose) glycohydrolase (PARG) is the major enzyme responsible for its catabolism (Thomassin et al. (1992) Biochim. Biophys. Acta 1137, 171–181). In vivo, poly(ADP-ribose) polymers constitute a heterogeneous population of branched polymers attaining sizes of 200–400 residues. They are rapidly degraded by PARG, displaying variable kinetic parameters as a function of polymer size. Several studies have suggested that PARG acts exoglycosidically on its substrate but others observed that it could act endo/exo-glycosidically. We analysed the mode of action of PARG under conditions most suitable for expression of all the activities of PARG, using HPLC purified long free polymer and very pure PARG. We conclusively show that on large free polymers, PARG exhibits endoglycosidic activity along with exoglycosidic activity. This endoglycosidic activity could have a significant role during cellular response to DNA damage.
